What do you live for?

[masta247]

I come through a strange time of life, I guess I'm becoming a mature man. I feel kind of depressed, anxious, I don't feel any pleasure at times and it's all cool when I'm outside with friends drinking but whenever I get home or have too much time to think my mind keeps fucking with me on most annoying matters. I find that everything I lived for before is stupid/unimportant/irrevelant/gone and now I have more and more mature thoughts. I also know that I just ended some kind of big part of my life, nothing particular happened but I can feel my brain changing fast somehow. Things that gave me pleasure before tend to suck now, things I really liked don't give me any pleasure no more and I started to think about "what do I live for now". I was feeling down but since few days I'm having some new kind of optimistic thoughts that were depressing before. I'm turning 20 now, I never understood the joy of starting a family (man+woman+kids) and wanted to wait with it as long as possible. Now strangely I feel like I want a nice, loving woman and I want to start a family with her. I suddenly understood the reason to study, to work - that I do it for my future family and somehow I know that it's my only reason to live, and it becomes more and more important when I think of it. I stopped caring about me that much, I stopped caring about the past and modern times, I stopped reminiscing the good times, I feel like now something programmed me to start caring for people I will meet in the future and right now, it strangely became my main purpose to live, except the only person I want to live for right now that is my mother.

What are your thoughts? What is your reason to live?

Such a tough question.


First of all i want to see and understand as much as possible of this beautiful planet.

Second, because im really lucky to grow up with certain possibilities + because im healthy + etc, i want to help people who are no that fortunate.

Third, i wanna have my own family and just be happy with my wife and kids.

i live my life for me. WHAT i live for is taking advantage of every moment i have. because bottom line, that's all we have. our only true destiny is to die. when you really think about it and grasp it, it's like nothing really matters. cause hey, it all ends. all your drama, all your problems, all your days feeling down, don't really matter except to you. cry about pop dying all you want, traffic is still gonna jam up around quiting time in the city. the world still turns no matter what you've got going on.

i guess we all have our own reasons to live...but my reason is because i (we as people) have that freedom. there is no amount of money, women, or material things that make me feel that that is the true reason to live life...and i hope that doesn't change and i stay on the right path.

i want to live because my life is too important not to live it or to throw it away. sure, everything isn't like i wanted it to be, and some things will be so much different years from now......but that doesn't change the fact that while all of this is happening theres a huge possibility that ill still be here...so i will have to deal with it...after all....the meaning of life is to struggle..

i want to live because I've been given the opportunity to live life....and thats whats most important. to have faith in yourself, in your life and in the people around you whenever possible.

i just want to live and be happy.


but i am looking forward to moving on with my life after i finish my education.....sometimes i'd like to think its not that im living for one thing...i live for a lot of things..and all at different times too......

ive tried to teach myself not to live for material things before...women and cars and money especially......yeah i want those things...but if you see people in the third world countries and the way they are living..the first thing they are thinking about is their life and their families...not driving a red Ferreri down sunset blvd.

somewhere down the line..i think we should all feel like this....that we should live our lives just because we are alive and we want to live. nobody wants to die, so dont you dare say you you dont want to live anymore because u might just get what you wished for...and who knows what life might bring you...but that doesnt mean you should sit their and hope for things..go out and do something about it...nobody likes a loser.

I live for GOD because GOD gave me life! (ok, not)

I live for the Big Bang because the Big Bang gave me life!

I Live to Learn!

I Live to Unlearn!

I Live for Revenge! I Live to Destroy!

I live to see everyone who has put me down at some point regret the day they were born!

I live for music.

[ARon]

I think the most obvious answer is myself.

Life is just a way to pass time until you die.

I suppose like alot of teenages I have felt depressed. It had much to do with dropping out of school, having no money and nothing to do.. And like you masta having to much time to think (allmost 6 months of doing nothing) can only lead to bad thoughts..
Their was two main things that kept me going..
One being the weekends.. Going out getting drunk, seeing friends, playing footy.. I live for the weekends.
And two, as much as I hate to say it.. My mother.. The amount of bullshit she has been through, makes my crap hardly worth mentioning.
I live for my family.. I couldn't and don't want to imagine what would happen to them if I wernt here..

 

[Preach]

For my own well-being, whatever that may mean.

I live for my Principles; Principles I will die for.
