there are days that i just think what is the point? everything is connected and everything gets broken, life is strange.
what is the point of life? people work there asses off at a job they usually don’t even like and for what? to pay off college debt, pay expensive monthly rent, all your time and money are swallowed up and it is an unbreakable unfair loop that just keeps repeating itself. money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy a home, food, eveything we need to live. So why are we stuck in this never ending loop of despair? what is the point? to work, get money, spend money, survive, and then eventually die.
i just don’t get it. why just sit here in a never ending loop of a depressed life. there is nothing to look forward to at this point.
i know there is good, there are good times and memories and good people in the world, but do those outweigh the overpowering bad things?
i don’t think so.

Mhm. An existential viewpoint I share. I’m stuck here for the sake of others.
However, I will say that it’s the journey and not the destination. No~ the good times do NOT outweigh the bad. Try we might, but when we look at the good in a time of bad, it only makes the bad feel worse because you’re reminded of what you lost, what you may never have again, an experience past.
We can try and remember the good times in a favorable light, as if feeling the memory is somehow a replacement for the experience; but it isn’t. And we know that.
The key is to keep having those experiences. Push past the bad. Like swimming from island to island in a sea of depression. When you stop, you die. But, that doesn’t make the islands any less enjoyable. You need to learn how to stay on them longer, and maintain them. When you fail, learn to swim fast and recover.
An emotionally fit person isn’t one who feels everything dulled; it’s a person who can optimize their journey. Maximize the good, move past the bad, in the most efficient fashion they can.
The point? Whatever the hell you want it to be.
Uh oh, I posted a comment but I’m not sure if it showed up…
Shit, I spent a lot of time writing that…
Sometimes I feel like the way society is set up is just total slavery, a false if not evil way to live…
I mean, I suppose you get some good stuff out of it, if you have enough hobbies and good friends, or something, but…
Sometimes it’s like, as soon as your born, you go to a school as a kid-teen to study and study, doing homework even after being lectured for half a day, then you go to immediately go to college/get a job at around 18 as you graduate and become an adult, then eventually get married and have kids…
If you fall even the slightest bit out of the norms, you’ll earn a bad reputation or worse, with varying frequencies and severity…
It’s all just… shit…

I wish we could live in the wild as tribal people and still be able to explore the world somehow… Do everything on our own time… Eat, Sleep, and whatever when we need to, but otherwise not on a schedule or because someone told us to…
Sigh… that would be a dream… I think…
Yes, it worked now!
For anyone who comes by here, I hope this is sound advice, or whatever, and someone agrees with me, at least a little…
