Now, regarding the topic. Occasionally I find myself unable to sleep at night and I start thinking about life in general. Sometimes about the cosmos; about theories and concepts of the universe, sometimes about a supreme being; about what happens after death - discussions often exhausted.

 

But, in the end, life is short. With the notion that I'm going to die in a relatively short amount of time, what is all my effort worth? Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to present a depressive cliché, but rather a curious question.

 

Most of us set goals for ourselves. Some of us want a lot of money to impress other people, some of us want to gain a large amount of respect, some of us want to be the next richest individual in the world, some of us simply want to live a comfortable, content life... etc. But god, it all ends so quickly. And sometimes i find it hard to see just a mote of meaning in life knowing it will positively end. Is life simply a game of chance and determination? And when it's over, it's over and you've had your play time? I find i'm having trouble really articulating what i'm thinking, so i'll stop here with the initial question:

 

why do you keep truckin'?

haha life as of now sucks, but not nearly as bad as it did for 2 years...what keeps me going is the fact that im getting better socialy and the fact in a few years ill be back to the mr social person i was...if not for that i'd probably be really depressed again...and the fact that finally ive met a few hot ladies this year that i talk too...and party's, cuz i keep meeting cool new people at them and make new friends...

hmm interesting topic reillo.

 

i always have my moments where i sit and think about everything and drift off, thinking about all those things you have stated in this thread.

 

and to be honest i really don't know why i keep trucking. i guess it's because i'm here and alive and i have to. i mean i want to simply leave a content life, be happy with myself, be successful (i hope) and start a good family. make a good contribution to society? in what way i don't know. time will tell.

 

when i think abotu it, i also find it hard to find any meaning in it, it seems like an endless cycle; you are born, you bring on the next generation of people, you die, and the cycle continues. it's confusing and akjsadhaslkda;k it's stressing me out again.

 

reilly stop stressing me damn it :disappointed:

 

:kiss:

life sucks, i'd rather count a million bucks-young jeezy

hahaha sometimes you want to kill yourself

Nice contribution Rick.

Hahaha sorry.

 

This is a tough question to ask anyone, as some people realise that there isn't much. Like me, for example.

wow sounded like me over winterbreak. i was having issues sleeping, but it was about sleeping. (dont read this if your an insomniac and who lies awake at night thinking about stuff, hahaha) like, i was thinking, how does our mind just shut off? sleeping is like a time portal, you can skip 8 hours into the future. (sorry i know this had nothing to do with anything lol)

 

what keeps me movtivated..

band does, im so excited to challenge this girl (she never, NEVER shuts up, and shes very annoying, and everyone hates her. i tried to be nice to her, but she always corrects me while playing, even when i didnt do anything) if i win the challenge, i become a first chair flute and sit a row infront of and 5 chairs away from her...

i also draw color pictures, it makes me happy... sometimes its just a bunch of shapes (i posted one alooooong time ago, no one saw it) and then sometimes i make pictures about lyrics. it keeps me sain :rolleyes:

"The only sure thing in this life is the death"

 

"If something has no response, it would not be more intelligent to stop looking for it"

 

"The death is too sure of his victory that grants us the whole life of advantage "...

 

The things that keep me truckin are,My family,God,My friends,and me.

 

Now when I have the opportunity to do almost everything what I want, not making anything would be like waste this opportunity

sometimes when i'm slaving away (okay so slaving is an exaggeration) at my work or on my school work thinking about how successful i want to become, etc etc, it makes me think what's the use. i'm going to die soon. why bother studying, working hard, etc when you can have fun?

 

not in the sense of run riot and party all night like some crazy effer. i mean have fun as in lead a life free of stress, free of this endless worrying, etc. sometimes i don't see the point on working hard.

 

i look at my dad who is some insanely strange man in that he just keeps working. working, working, working. stressing, worrying, working hard. that's his policy in life. work hard. but it makes me think... why? he changed professions, studied another degree (now has 5 degrees) and is now a lawyer. but what's the point? i really don't know...

 

why should we lead a life of stress, anxiety, worry and paranoia when we can simply enjoy our lives? we're going to die soon anyway. (realistically speaking?)

Often what keeps me goin is Christ. Dudes im not here to preach to yah cuz i absolutely DESPISE it when people try to do that. You just gotta find it on your own. Heh. Its hard to say this, but sometimes I even cry at nights just knowing that someone can possibly love you that much. It's like the feeling when you were a little child and you were scared...so you ran into your dad's arms and he held you and and comforted you until you felt all better. I live every day loving life no matter what happens, cuz I kno that one day I'm gunna wake up in heaven and this will all be a dream. "Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death I fear NO evil, for thou art with me...Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of thine enemies...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD. Forever." -Psalm 23. Idk thats just my comfort. Every time I say that to myself, nothing can even come close to harming me cuz my daddies protecting me.

^^^Completely Agreed^^^^^^

 

I am not afraid of the death, because if I die I know that I will go to a better place.

I would not kill myself or start to live my life in a wrong way,just because something better wait for me.

 

When I feel devastaded God always help me!

Must be a nice feeling.

I think is one of the greatest.

 

Guaranteed

Yeah dude "nothing else compares"

I currently have a serious problem motivating myself as it is... but life is overall pretty good at the moment. I continuously tell myself that I have my health and that I have my good friends and family... that usually does the trick.. until I have the next bout of depression. Then it starts all over again.. like a cycle.

what keeps me motivated is what it happens before dying

my motivation is the weekend and holidays, but with the holidays almost over and me about to go into year 9 :uhoh:

I used to look forward to weekends and holidays and such, but now the days just go so fast that I know it will be over before it's even started.

 

Besides, now Im out of high school and going to university/working, there is no big time of break and relaxation (Apart from holidays like right now :D:D:D:D)

u mean it gets worse, oh god :worried2:

It really does! Enjoy your silly school time ;) Hehe.

:( :cry:

To tell the truth nothing keeps me motivated anymore, i just feel i'm living this lfie cos i have to...reminds me this radiohead lyric, "i'm not living, i'm just killing time" i might change of mind with time who knows.
