Kind of random.

I'm starting to, in certain ways, break away from one kind of life and embark on another. I have a long time to make this transition, but I want to be careful I don't make a terrible choice

Tony!!!!!... its been only a week and you are starting to lose it... oh well... well anyway you wish to here what my aspirations are so here it is

My aspirations are to be with Kim for the rest of my life... and to also follow my dreams of what I wish to do in the future... damn a life devoted to video games.... they seem to be stuck to me...

well i hope this helps a bit in your quest for your own meaning of life... good luck man... see you in a month...

P.S. - Kim says hi

Hah, hey Mike! Thanks for responding, man. I was afraid none of my friends would, which would basically tell me that they all really have absolutely no idea of what they want or how they'll get it. If any of you are reading this, stop and think for a second and give me a response, it's probably pretty important for you to realize, and maybe it'll help me at the same time. Maybe it'll help neither of us, but what's to loose?

ya know, I've been thinking about this question for a while, cause i didn't want to give you a lame answer.

But i don't think i can do that.

For me, anyway, removing stressors is the only thing i actively do to make my life easier. But other than the occasional purge of things that piss me off, I'm pretty into taking whatever gets thrown at me.

You know, I'm really the wrong person to talk to about this. I have a really fucking ridiculous world view.

I'm not looking for the most popular views, as a matter of fact, I'd more so enjoy the unique ones. Seeing as how most people, to me, seem unhappy, it would lead me logically to believe that the most popular views of happiness lead to nothing more than unhappiness. In this case, it's only the unique ones I am interested in, to tell the truth.

P.S.
That's an interesting answer. I like it because it's so broad - and it involves the amazingly ever present theory of relativity :-P. It sounds truthful, anyways, so thanks :).

i don't know if it's so much a question of becoming happy as it is being happy. i'm not sure i believe that this life is a long, arduous journey in search of that one thing that will complete us, make us whole...i mean, i know that i've been raised my whole life to believe that the only reason for us being here on this earth is to honor and serve God, and that our goal every day and in every choice we make is to bring ourselves closer to Him. My dad always says that there's no way we can ever be truly happy on this earth because of the fallen nature of man. only though God can we achieve total happiness...and that is after we die, in heaven. now, i'm reaching the point in my life where i have to decide for myself what is true for ME, and not just believe everything that is spoonfed to me by my father. but, i do wholeheartedly believe that the point of this life is to try and give back to God everything He has given to me...as difficult as that might be sometimes. now, i often lose sight of that as i go through my days trying to fill

Welll, thank you, Dorothy. That was a pretty badass answer
