I am not at all ready to die, I just wanna blast off this rock.

I would much, much rather work at my minimum wage job for the rest of my life than actually achieving. Not out of fear of failure, just because it gives me more of a sense of accomplishment then anything my extremely rigorous and selective college prep high school ever has. And not to mention I like the people there so much more. I like interesting people, and failure sure makes people more interesting that accomplishment. And I don’t feel any freaking drive to accomplish anything. Anything that is labeled as a career seems to me that it would get awfully boring after awhile.

I’m currently just living for my friends. Literally, a friend made me promise not to commit suicide. (what’s up, helpbot?) So, I’m not going to. No danger of it. But, the way I see it, achievements just make people boring and stuck up.

But, I come to this crossroads. I don’t want to ever do any sort of real, time consuming, full time serious job, and I don’t want to be the loser girl who’s working a minimum, unchallenging job at age 30. I really, just, don’t want to grow up. I want to blast off this rock.

That was..quite ranty.

I dunno, it’s just a phrase that stuck with me. I mean, just, end this life, get out of here, etc.

yea sometimes i wonder if college and all this crap im doing will mean anything at all. i lack drive as well(sooo lazy). sometimes i wonder about my options in life. i feel like i need to go to college since my dad only got up to like 8th grade and for the sake of at least being “educated” im doin this. i also know that i would hate myself if i just went through a phase of laziness and lack of motivation and dropped out only to realize how important it was for me to go to school. ive been there, livin in a family where my dad made very little and its hard but we were still happy. i mean u have the power to do what ever u want with ur life, maybe money isnt a strong calling but u should ask urself what u want to strive for. if not money then what? is it helping starving people in africa or maybe counseling people with problems… maybe its art, writing idk. u dont have to go to college but im sure that if u look hard enough u can find something that ur passionate about and once u find it or if u have already found it why not follow it?

Yeah, that sounds a lot like me.

See, but, my passion is people. And I somehow I need to find the balance between working enough to have enough money to support myself to be able to hang out with friends & family a lot, and not working too much that I don’t have time to. I dunno, I just…I just don’t freaking care anymore.

yea its frustrating, especially this whole notion of paying ridiculous amounts of money to do one thing for the rest of ur life. for me i dont like that either, i want to be able to move around you know? sometimes i jsut wanna disappear and go to some hole in the wall country and backpack around jsut to broaden my horizons, somewhere with different values, where the dollar doesnt matter so much.i mean from what it sounds like u jsut want to be around real, trustworthy people who are down to earth. ur in luck because even though there are like maybe 344253454524 people who are lame there are also just as many who are good people. its hard to have all the answers, especially if ur young. its weird how something that has no solution one day is easily answered in a moment of reflection during a random stroll ’round town. im confident that u too will come to a conclusion that u can feel confident is the right one.
