I’m so tired of being alive. Everything is so pointless. Nothing matters. We’re just a tiny speck on a speck of a planet in a speck of a solar system in one tiny galaxy among trillions and trillions and trillions of galaxies. Nothing makes a difference in the long run.
What happens right now will affect your life, but it won’t make a big difference. Sure, it might a few people, but what does that matter? We’re just numbers on a gravestone. My insignificant life doesn’t matter, but I should at least be happy, so I can enjoy it just a bit while I’m here. Right? It’s not like I’ll exist anywhere afterwards. Right now is what matters.
So why has society placed these goals on me, and told me that when I achieve them I’ll be happy? Society wants my goal to be college. Ok, but when I get there I’ll just have more stress and pain. Next goal is graduate, which equals more stress and pain. Then a job, finding a partner, and then kids. Then what? Take care of kids, work, retire, sit around, and die.  That’s what we’re supposed to do. It’s so pointless. As mature as humanity has become, our ultimate goal is still to have kids and make the future better for them. And we’ve already screwed that up. I’d say humans have a century or two left before we all die.
Maybe parts of life will make me happy, but in the long run, what’s the point? There’s no reason to any of this. And most of life hurts anyway. I’m tired of hurting. I’m tired of ignorant, superficial people I’m just so tired of every pointless little thing.
We created religion to give us a reason to live, to give our lives a point. So don’t tell me god, please. The only reason to live that I can see is happiness, but I’m not happy.

It’s comming… i can hear it…the beckoning.
Anyone can say anything is pointless. What is you want? To be immortal?
True, but to me, life really is pointless. I want to find a meaningful reason for people to exist, but I kind of answered my own question.
I don’t want to be immortal, that’s for sure.
I suppose I just want happiness, but that’s the impossible goal, isn’t it?
If you just want happiness then you already have meaning. Being happy isn’t impossible, but for some who are dealt a cruel hand by fate it is especially difficult.
I want to be immortal :/ sure id outlive any and all that i get attached to but i wanna see how this world will end. I’ll be the Great Immortal!! Scar is right btw. Although some people never achieve happyness. Some just grow content with life. And people can find meaning in a sorts of things…just have to find one for yourself
i want to die so bad, but i can’t get a gun and the helium method causes a panic attack as you lose oxygen. so scared of what’s to come.
BehindtheSmile,
I agree with your rant, forget about what others want or expect, do what you want to do to make yourself happy, success is measured in happiness if you’re not happy you’re not successful.
