i've lost my sleep again, so i suddenly felt the urge of writing this topic.
While reminiscing about my past life, i remember that my dad used to describe me as worthless piece of trash, i guess i can understand that a little better now. Sure, there're times when i'm energetic, happy and carefree. other times when i'm concentrated on my studies or my careers. But sometimes i just feel like not doing anything, nothing at all. u know those moments, right? while lying on the bed, sitting on the park bench, or just standing on a plain piece of grass field, and u look up to the sky and ask urself, what am i really living for? of course, none of us ever get an exact answer, anyways, yet we continue on without knowing the true purpose of our lives(guess it's a different story for religious people, they live for their god and they place their faith on what they believe in)
in a sense, i feel that i am worthless, i'm doin things only based on my perception of how life should be like, which comes from the earlier generations, my parents tell to get into a good university, and find a good job, marry someone u like and live on, but in the end, what did we achieve, what did we learn and what is the purpose of it all.
life is a road, at the finish line, death awaits all of us, from the day u were born, u started walking towards the finish line, but then again why were we born in the first place, are we chosen to simply "experience" the undeniable reality and "enlighten" ourselves in these short periods that we live. or is it something else, a divine plan, whenever human are unable to decipher the unexplainable facts, they escape to the "god" excuse, an entity that is responsible for everything and anything we do and so... but is it really there? After all, there're simply too much mysteries in this world.
going back to where i began, i believe that we all had those moments, wondering about ourselves and world that revolves around each of us individually.
tired from all the thoughts now, life's such a drag sometimes, isn't it?
You have a field of grass to stand in? :(
I'm about an hour drive from any such field.
I think almost anyone can relate to that experience. It makes us human to question or long for a purpose. I find myself wondering what it is I'm doing, but it's not long before my non-sequitur train of thought derails that and I'm wondering why I left that bottle of Sunkist Orange Soda in the back of my buddy's van.
Just take a step forward and narrow your vision, so to speak. Focus on day to day things, set mini-goals. Avoids the melancholy if it's that bad.
I'm too damn random to care though haha. I got my ears and lip pierced on a whim, and I ship out for the Air Force this comming January also on a whim.
Cheer up?
