Hmm that actually got through to me. I always told folks around me...as long as I can do good by you...and be a positive figure in peoples lives...then thats all that should matter...when im decaying away underneath a freeway....at 80 years old...or at a retirement home...depends on me of course....i should take comfort..that i never treated anyone bad and was never an a-hole or mean to people.....do i make sense?
There's nothing wrong with being a loner as long as you are self-sufficient, and aren't a drain on society. Many people lead incredibly fulfilling lives without ever getting married or having children. You can travel the world, pursue your interests, and basically just live the life you want without ever worrying about whether your decisions will affect other people. You are the only person you answer to.....the question is, do YOU want to lead that life? You can't base that decision on what other people's perception of you is. You have to decide for yourself what you want out of life. And I can also tell you this....the answer you give today may not necessarily be the same answer you give tomorrow (or 10 years from now).
I care about...my parents and family...i help them out as much as i can...and being creative...and maybe making like an impact on a creative level...but im not articulate and can be sporadic and fly off the handle..so as long as i am personally creative and can get something creative printed or published somewhere...but right. I must write in paragraphs first. My bad.
I saw Synecdoche, New York the other night..the ending totally warped my mind. I think all this is blooming from that film experience.
pay no attention to social norms or social expectations, be yourself, be a hero to yourself kcuf everyone else and what they think makes you happy
I saw that movie and felt pissed off all day. Moral = don't watch that movie because it's a waste of 2 hours.
Do you homie, who cares what others have, just be happy with what you have and aspire to more. If you dont want to have a family then dont have a family...only person who knows what you want is you. If you wanna make more money then find a way to do so. But be thankful you have a job. -The Stache has spoken.
If your happy....your good to go. Enjoy the little things.... I'm at a depressing time in my life....and wish I appreciated the things I used to have... more than I did... when I had them.
I AM that old dude with no around. I really think the constant rampant speculation people do in a fee society is part of the problem. Everyone has a different theory and opinion on what your'e "supposed" to do. And there's no consensus at all. People cast themselves as "experts" and elites who are trying to form society into an optimal vision. . Its strange, I dont have kids and dont plan on having any. But I get tired of people saying DON'T have kids, DONT do this, do that, doing this makes you a "douchebag", doing that makes you "cool", forgoing all that makes you "liberated". Its all trash, man. The future is scary, cuz people can't calm themselves down and be satisfied in anything. It really is a rat race, all for nothing. The world still turns like it always does, and will. Its human's capacity on the surface to seek power and influence, and fearing their neighbors is whats wrong. But YOU'RE not doing that so don't worry. Stay in shape, dont let yourself go. Have wives and kids if it presents itself, think about saving for retirement if the future is that much a concern.The only thing that can stop you from doing what you want to do someone holding you at gunpoint forcing you to do something, and availability of jobs... Susan B Anthony was very influential in women's rights to have custody of their children, yet she never had kids. Tell the world and your guilty conscience to f--k itself.
Don't sweat it. There is no such thing as wasting your life. If you enjoy your life, that is good enough. I know people who make alot more money than you, and they aren't happy. A simple life is usually the best life. Don't let anyone try to convince you that you are wasting your life. If you enjoy watching sports all day, reading on the internet or having casual sex there is nothing wrong with that. It is your choice. As long as you are not being a detriment to society, you are doing just fine. Not everyone in this world is set out to change the world. Not everyone is made to be an CEO, a politician, celebrity or star athlete. Just live your life. If you find you aren't happy with your life at any point, then maybe it is time to change your ways. But till then, no need to worry.
I once did but backed out at the last moment after finding a job at 18. My main thing is leaving something meaningful behind...but if I don't have a family to leave my impression and my memory behind...what is there left? I go off into the sunset alone.....and no one will remember me. Its rare when a person is remembered in history right? If I have kids, I doubt my great great great great grand kids will even care that I was around, right? Might as well just do good while Im here and leave it at that. Thanks guys, again. Ten beers strong.
That makes so much sense. I know it may sound obvious but sometimes its nice to know that other people feel the same way .
Some people tend to think deeply when in a altered state of mind, people get emotional. I hope this isn't getting you down and you drink more thinking it's going to do any good for you. First, you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself, start asking questions; If I make this decision how will it affect my future? What do I need to be where I want to be? For every question there's another question, but don't forget that there are answers for your questions. It's up to you to take the risk and open a small business, with some planning and saving up you will have a foundation as well as a safety net in case anything were to happen. You're in your 30's, your not a virgin and have obviously been living, but you have forgotten your age. This is the time when you need to have your career set or be taking that risk(see paragraph above). Don't be spending too much money on girls that your not planning on having a future with. Don't want to sound like an Ahole sorry. Anyways look for women your age maybe an older woman, don't mess with someone with a huge age difference that means stay in the 30s range. Don't help out someone or do something nice expecting something good to comeback. Do it cause you want with no catch!! Your obviously having your doubts, all I can really say is; Be positive by looking at the good of the situation and not the bad, keep asking question & get answers. Hope you figure something out, and maybe some of the little time I took to give you some advice helps you out or gives you an idea. "sometimes we got to stop dipping our toes in the water, and just jump in"
