Am curious, trying to find these things in my own life.


What things? I'm trying to find where I belong, myself here. I've come to believe humanity doesn't have a purpose, except to just exist, and that's about it really. It's seriously kind of true to me, and I thought about it for over 10 years.

What keeps you going day to day? What motivates you?


I need to put some thought into that. I go about my day feeling wrong, distracting myself with stuff, feeling better when a close relative is around, but then I go to sleep telling myself how I screw up at life.

the thing that keeps me from cashing in my chips is the spiritual belief that if i screw the pooch in the present lifetime, i will likely have to repeat this mediocre existence sometime in a future incarnation, under worse circumstances. so i might as well do the best i can in this one, so as to avoid that awful fate.

There are just so many things I want to experience before I'm ready for my long box.

I also believe in karma.

Several things, my friends and my mother would be rather upset if i offed myself, so thats out. right now i am going through TAFE in order to get a diploma, but i admit i am having trouble finding a job, I am shy as all hell but i do hope to get married someday but that may not happen. So I guess I go on with the philosophy that while life is s**t now, it may get better if i continue going. If it never does what will motivate me is punching st peter in the face. (on account of "all men are made equal" and "god only helps those who help themselves")

Normal people don't make the world go around. They just go around with it.

If it weren't for people like us, no one would ever think of anything interesting.
