Spent 15 of the last 20 years of my life studying, being sick and working.
Nah, I wouldn't like to go. Not yet.
Youll spend the rest 60 doing the same.
Damn Debby downer, kman123 could have plenty of adventures in the next 60 years.
Step 1- Go to school and finish it.
Step 2- Get a job that pays really well.
Step 3- Have kids
Step 4- Grow old and die.
All the stuff in the middle is just a distraction from those four goals. There is no Debby downer, your just to young to realize it yet that life is not this kickass thrill ride you think it is.
Well Debby, I'm old enough to know why you think this, but I make my life interesting. Firstly, I deviated from the four step program, as it's not mandatory. No one is obligated to have kids, and go for the boring, soul killing, but decently paying job. You also don't have to go though any higher education if you don't want to. I did go to college, and I am going to graduate school now, but It's been an adventure. I have learned a lot, and done a lot of cool things I couldn't have done otherwise. A couple of years ago I got really sick and thought I was going to die. Now that I am better I'm not going to waste what little time I have on this earth, bitching about how life's not what I want it to be. If your bored your boring, you really have no one to blame but yourself. You can do what ever you want. Sure everyday of your life isn't going to be a kick ass thrill ride; life has it's ups and downs. A lot of my life has been tough, some parts tragic even, but I'm an artist, and I have so much mischief in the works that brings me such amusement, and there are so many things that I want to do. You may call these things "distractions", but how are they any less significant than your four steps? Life is life, all of it is equally meaningful as even the smallest parts shape our story. Your fatalistic attitude shapes your perception, but you can adopt whatever attitude you like, so maybe try a different one.
Even if you step off the path, your still on it. So what if you don't have kids, your still going to grow old and die. So what if you don't finish school, your still going to have to get a job to survive. You can try to be a unique snowflake all you want, your still like the rest of us. Don't try to act like my attitiude is something you have never rolled with before. Your little distractions are still just leading up to these four goals. Everybody does stuff that is unique to themselves, but we all come crawling back to the grind. If you think it doesn't apply to you, your either a fool, or your young.
I think I'm going to let the recently departed MCA start off this post for me.
MCA: "Pass me the scalpel, I'll make an incision
I'll cut out the part of your brain that does the bitching
Put it in formaldehyde and put it on the shelf
And you can show it to your friends and say that's my old self"
You can subjugate yourself to this overly negative way of thinking if you like, but what's the point? Were does this fatalism get you? Do you think your smarter for it, because I would disagree. People have lived lives filled with adventure and intrigue. You've just given up on being one of those people. Since you didn't actually address any of the points I made in my last post I'll make this short. I'm 29 years old so according to you I must be a fool. Nevertheless, I would rather be a "fool" than believe I am doomed from the beginning, destined to pointless monotony. Maybe your old and life hasn't turned out the way you would have liked, well I ask you, are you dead yet? Because If not you can still do something awesome, you just need to get off this pity-pot, wipe your ass, and put your big boy pants on. You can drop this doomsayer shit, or start listening to emo music and crying yourself to sleep at night.
