Do some fun stuff. Do some worthwhile stuff. Keep busy in between.
And die "beholden to nothing and nobody".

It was a joke, but it was also true. I reserve the right to laugh at myself.BangSmashBoom said:
I chose 'milk the world for what it's worth' but I chose that option because what I really meant was "get as much enjoyment out of life as you possibly can". I think it should work both ways - you enjoy yourself, while giving something back at the same time. I'm not too concerned whether I don't get a fancy career or even the career that I want; as long as I have enough money to make ends meet and enjoy life I don't really mind? Even then, to be fair, I'll probably find ways of enjoying life even when I don't have a single penny to my name, which is very similar to my situation now, but I'm still able to feel content and happy with my life.
IMO too many people place a lot of importance on the things that, in a final analysis, don't really matter too much. It seems self-indulgent but I like to spend my time reading literature I enjoy, appreciating good music, making memories with loved ones and enjoying the Earth. [shrug] works for me.

Move from goal to goal with the end goal of making my life so that I can live it comfortably for the remainder of my life.
On the way, perhaps I'll help a few people, or maybe step on some others.

Carpe diem; derideo letum!
I find that people who adhere to the concept of "you only live once" are met with my internal rebuttal of "if that's the case, then you're doing it wrong." Death does not factor into any of my plans. I'll do whatever I want with my life, and at any given time in the future I will continue to do so.
As it just so happens, as a Christian, I want to serve my God. I want to help people.
Oh, yes. I also want wealth and power, but that probably has more to do with being young than being myself. I'd love immortality, but that's an understandable craving of what I don't yet possess. I won't devote my existence to pursuing these, they will come in due time.
I'm just going to have fun with life in the interim. As far as game plans go, it beats "live content, die, and happily fade away believing nothing I ever did mattered." Brofisting the Creator's son and helping him with his Father's plans seems like a much more worthwhile objective.

Focus on being happy and making the people I care about happy. If the opportunity to make the world a substantially better place comes along, I'll go for it.
Too soon to make any real sense of the world, maybe once I've lived life a little more and I've learned

You...do stuff. And be stuff. Until you can't do or be anything anymore. The point is to do and be stuff as much as you can. But you only have at the very best from now until the universe dies of heat loss, which is a miniscule time period when compared to eternity. So really, there's no point.
Well, I would want to make my mark in some significant way, I think. This ego of mine demands to be stroked!
But then again, I am not so sure I am interested in doing that anymore. I am in a strange period of my life now.

Fun, it's all about fun. Also help make sure other people who you care about aren't having a crappy time. Or at least that's my objectives in life, I'm quite happy to never achieve much as long as the ride was interesting.
Do something or create something so that no one ever forgets that you were here and you mattered. Like napalming all of the pacific ocean for kicks. I never said it had to be good or smart just so confusing that everyone will look back and say, he was a crazy son of a ***** be glad he isn't around now could you imagine what he'd do now?
I teach people things that I have learned through my hardships, hope they listen, and soon, I will be dead... I give it 2 years at the longest, worst case scenario, I cease to exist within the next 2 months... Well, absolute worst case scenario a group of armed men come and rape me tonight til I die... but that's statistically unlikely as I live in Canada, but still, it's worse than a lot of other options I can see as even remotely possible within the conditions in which I exist.
