Well...is there anything that you enjoy doing? Perhaps you should stop wondering if there is any grand purpose for you being around and just do what comes natural. Try to do stuff you've never done before and continue doing the stuff you enjoy. Temper this of course with any sense of self preservation you have and any knowledge about what is healthy for you and you'll pry do alright. I mean, trying to figure out what grand purpose life has in store for you is a lost cause not to mention damn egocentric.

Isn't there anything you enjoy, Desh? Even little things like sitting down with a good book can be a pleasure, and I know you like reading...

Things that make life worth living don't have to be big things... the little ones can be just as important, or even more so. Look around for them, first, if you can't find any big ones - Ones that work for me are: good books, great foods, kittens, puppies, a hot bath with bubbles, a long talk with friends... anything that can make me smile after a rough day.

Look for those, Desh...

I dont get much pleasure either Desh. Its like I`m just killing time until i die.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

there is no point.

ok, i'm calm now. i feel better, honest.

just thought i would take a different viewpoint. it was fun. think i may have burst a blood vessel though. damn baby. lol





I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

Glad it helped. Now go wash your mouth.

:p


You promised me the ending would be clear
You'd let me know when the time was now
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear

No one can tell you how to live. Well, they can tell you, but you don't have to listen.

If you thought life was so worthless you would have killed yourself by now, unless you're afraid of pain. With that said, there must be something you live for..even if it for one thing. Make that thing a passion & life will expand..

Remember, you don't have to listen to me, but thought it would help.

pleez don't kill yourself! i'm not saying there's anything wrong w/ suicide cuz i would do that too if i had guts.. (::gets p/o at herself for not comitting suicide:: ) but still, don't... and if you were joking that's cool w/ me.


point of life...??? umm.... well, finding pleasure in whatever u can... it could be drugs, drinking, smoking, screwing around... cutting yourself, etc... and i guess u sometimes have to fake the whole thing and pretend you're alright. that's not really the "point" of life so i didn't answer ur question, sry, but that's what life is all about..

*ikuko*

The point of life? you already know it, you're already on the path (you're expecting me to spout some religious shit now aren't you)

The point to life is to answer the question "what is the point to life?"
Simple.

As for killing yourself?!?!

Death is waiting for you around every corner, waiting for you to give up, he knows he'll get you eventually.....Make the fucker wait!

believe me i know about death....i have had many experiences with it. getting hit by a car, almost dying cause i bleed to death, car accidents while mom was driving, car accidents because of other people's stupidity, etc. need i say more.

i don't want religious shit. i hate religion and disagree with everything they have to say.

I have been diagnosed terminal twice and I even drowned once and was "dead" for two minutes but I'm still here.

I'm not going until the last possible moment.

If you even think about scuicide I'll kill you

Maybe but can you take the chance, it's like being in a room with only one door and once you leave you can never come back in but how do you know that after you leave someone wasn't going to come into the room and tell you everything?
