Hey everyone! I've been reading a bunch of blog posts from here, Myspace, livejournal, a lot of different stuff and i'm seeing a trend starting up. A lot of people have been posting about how they are discouraged about life in general and how pointless it is. I know a lot of people see these people saying stuff like this and just think "EMO!!" but i disagree. I think at some point, everyone questions life and it's purpose. If you don't... well, lets not get into what i think about people who don't question anything.

Anyway, personally, I sometimes agree with people who think this way. What is the point? I mean we all live our lives which most people agree is full of suffering and heartache, and then we die. But thats not all life is. For there to be suffering and heartache, there had to be happyness and joy before, otherwise there would just be nothing. If you cut yourself off from everything, then sure, you won't feel too much suffering but at the same time, you won't feel joy which can sometimes be worse than the alternative.

A long time ago, i made a huge mistake that still bothers me today. After it happened, I honestly just wanted to die. I figured life is pointless and wasted. But then something happened. I found people that I truly cared about. More so than my own life. I think this is what life is truly about, living for someone other than just yourself. Sure there will be heartache in this way of living, whenever that person or group of people feel pain, you will feel pain. But at the same time, when they are happy, you are happy too. So while it may not help for your circumstances, this is what I found as my purpose in life. This is what brought me out of those dark times and gave me reason to want to live. And life is a lot better because of it. If you're struggling with something that happened to you or whatever, I honestly believe that it will pass and that there is purpose that you will come to find.
