How's life treating you?

[figday]

So hi guys, i dont know why i'm making this thread, maybe i just needed to get stuff outta my chest.
so yeah, just wanted to talk about life, which ill start with mine.
hmm, where do i start?

i'm 24, im still in college, in my 6th and final year of it. majoring a major that i never wanted because my folks wont let me go for it for the sake of the 'family' business. shit.
lost 2 years of college because i had to work for my dad, who doesnt give a flying fuck about what i do with my life as long i help him get more and more money (greedy fuck), and killing my family in the process (my mom nearly died out of stress). and now he wants me to quickly finish college, what an asshole, a genius yet crazy asshole (proven by a shrink), but he's still my dad so ill let it slide. damnit.

just ended a 6-year relationship with a girl which i thought was the one, and still think she is, so there goes my sanctuary. and cant blame anyone but myself for being such a lousy boyfriend, which lead her to getting a new one, she's on the other side of the globe, shes hot, so i kinda new this would happen. long-distance is a no go.

those stuff made me unable to think properly for around a week, sometimes i even forgot what day im at. surprised me big time, finding out that my brain went from a quad-core (thx dad), to a pentium II at that period. when i came to, i knew i had to wake up and re-focus myself. so now i'm in the process of getting back on track, and all the shit that happened, fuck em, shit happens, cest la vie.

sometimes i think, why life? why do you keep throwing these missiles to me for 20+ years? whats next?
i've lost faith in religion, not because the 'unfair' life, but my brain is too logical. guess i'm an atheis/agnostic now.

i'm a positive thinker, which is good because my brain never stops thinking, i always think that from every shit, there's always gonna be a bright side. and that thought always kept me sane and controlled.

but im totally afraid of one thing, and this quote will explain it :
'dont be afraid your life is going to end, be afraid that it will never begin' /forgot where from, a manga iirc
i've always felt like a puppet to my family, because i just cant say no to family, i love em too much. i cant wait to graduate and the fuck out this current 'life', and country.

oh well, enough Q_Qing from me. just needed to get this out. i did it here because my best friends are in different continents, and this site has got great peeps in it

dont bother replying if u dont want to. flame or troll away to your heart's desire. i know there are tons of people that are in worse condition than mine.

here's a toast for life, for what has happened, what's happening, and whats going to happen in the future.

Well that sounds like a pretty bad life. I'm sorry for you, and hope you can get out of being forced to do what others want, and find someone that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
All my problems pale in significance to this...I feel guilty about being so upset now!

And I hope that you can get out of that sinkhole. Hopefully after graduating you'll be able to get out and move somewhere else. Start again, basically.

 

[winginson]

I know what you mean with the "Be afraid your life will never begin" thing. I have the same thought sometimes.

My cornetto cone cracked again!

Why life, WHY?!

you're holding it too hard..blame Sarif Industries.

that thought genuinely scares me...

I just got diagnosed with Marfan's, a syndrome that can cause a shit-ton of problems and if not monitored, I'd likely keel over dead one day.

 

[Dogstile]

Well, i'm single, but i've been throwing some parties and snagging some kisses off people, so that's nice (both boys and girls, actually, but i'd rather not sleep with a guy).

I've decided I don't give a damn about anything, realized that my dreams of working for a AAA game studio is going to go down the drain and that I will never be good at guitar or singing.

However, because I don't give a damn, i'm enjoying life.

Listen, man. You'll never stop being submissive to your family unless you grow some balls and tell them to go fuck themselves (politely and lovingly, of course). This sounds like an asshole-ish thing to say, but just taking the shit that life's throwing at you and saying, "It'll get better, It'll get better, " will get you nowhere in life. If you don't want to do the things that they're making you do, don't fucking do them.

Will it be hard? Fuck yes! But will it be worth it? If you're really miserable doing what you're currently doing, then yes.

 

[CrashBang]

Well this is a very nice thread, we should have more of these
I'm sorry about your sucky life, OP, your dad does not sound like the sweetest guy

My life? I'm 20, I turn 21 in ten days and I'm about to finish university. I really really don't want to. I've made literally dozens of good friends, my health is good, my grades are good and so I just don't want to leave this haven by the sea. I go to uni in a small town populated almost 50% by us students and it's fantastic. Why must I leave? On the plus side I got into a teacher training course to teach high school English. On the downside the course will be dull and long (a whole damn year)
Six months ago I broke up with my girlfriend of over a year and was annoyed at myself for a while for doing it. So now I'm a wee bit lonely because I love having a girlfriend, I'm a proper co-dependant kinda guy

Overall things are great though, got good friends, a new car which is fucking sweet and a solid secure future ahead of me which 99% of students don't have and may never have so yay! Go me!

Hmm, I was born in a western state in a functioning democracy that grants human rights, my need of water and food is more than just satisfied, I have access to education and to medical healthcare. I live in a place and a time with sufficient technology for my needs and that has a still intact environment. I am not disabled, have an above average intelligence(at least I hope so).
Could be worse, I guess.

 

[Biodeamon]

My lifes pretty good. I do have trouble sleeping at night though...still have purple under my eyes.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

My life is actually awesome right now. Doing a degree in Earth Sciences at one of the country's top universities, lovely girlfriend, great friends, enough money... Everything is going great.

 

[Ranorak]

Personally, I'm doing good at the moment.
4 months with my girlfriend, got a interesting internship ahead of me, got some free time to play games in between delivering mail.

My Xbox 360's disc tray failed, my dad won't accept the fact that it was his fault when he picked up the console with a spinning disc in it, the warranty expired last month and the Easter Public holidays (and Anzac Day) are coming up which means it'll take Microsoft longer than usual to fix and return it. I was able to borrow my sister's 360 in the meantime, only to have my ass whipped on BF:BC2.

Hows your life?

However, because I don't give a damn, i'm enjoying life.
