Do you ever feel like you've wasted your life doing nothing?

[KenJi]

U don't have to be suffering from a terminal illness to feel this way ya know. The reasons can be many things, they aren't always negative. It can be rooted in the past, present.

No offense Sean, but i kinda found this offensive, because it almost makes me feel like being labeled having a terminal illness, cause quite frankly I made this thread because its the way I AM FEELING.

This isn't a questionaire.

man I feel that way every day... try and set some short term goals and strive for them, if anything this will prob help break up the monotany of life. Other then that try not think about it to much. Life if anything, is random.

Dood...lets go eat food this week and talk about this.
You're good shit man, it's hard getting out of a rut, but you're gonna do it.
more talk over food.

At least I've got company in the Mud. :) Blah... one day the 4WD will kick in and pull me out I hope. If only my life was made by Subaru.

I heard through the grapevine (read my sister) that that's what my dad and step mom said that I was doing . (wasting my life) and I freaked, thinking holy shit they're right, what the hell I have to get on something. I started to rehash all the bad things and the could have and would haves and whatever else have you , it took me a good week or so before I thought to myself that you know... I'm really not. just because someone else thinks that of me, that's not the way it is. as of right now, I'm happy. sure I could be saving the world or doing some big grand plan right now, but the whole doing what I'm doing is making me happy. and that's all that's important. just try to think of all the good things you have accomplished and what you still have out there, because really at this age, you have everything in your reach. the hard part is getting ot of a funk and relaizing that. a wasted life is one not lived happily.

and that's a pretty neat thing

you can't get lost in comparing yourself to the people around you and what they have done - who is to say their experience is more valuable then yours? we all have different journeys to take in this life - and for some that will mean world travel and pro sports careers and for some it will mean teenage motherhood, and for some it will be working at a rogers video til thirty and then settling down into a career as a mortgage broker

the important thing is that along the way you enjoy yourself
and you're gonna have down times where you feel lost and you don't see the end of the road cause you don't know what road you are headed down, but rest assured you are headed somewhere
so keep on keeping on
and if you are feeling dissatisfied with your path - go do something nice for someone else, you'd be amazed the power that has. Indulge your hobbies, smell the roses and all that cliche stuff

make yourself laugh - don't take it all too seriously, soon enough you'll see how truly young we still are
there's plenty of time to do it all, whatever your all might be

miss jingles, your posts always make me smile :)

you kids should listen to her!

unnnghhh

i hate that feeling

it's the shittiest most depressing feeling.

i always get that feeling when i leave things unattended for too long that it just becomes too overwhelming to fix.... i start remembering all the past fuckups i've done in my life along the same lines and wish i could start again from certain points in my life.... it fucking sucks cuz it gets me all down and depressed. the only thing you should do is not to be lazy... if you're making the most of your life at the present moment you'll hardly ever think about shit like this

[Bitchin]

my life is a waste.

I don't really have anything to show for it... except I can support my self and live with an awsome best friend and a loving bf.

I just wish.. I made enough money to enjoy myself!

terminal illness means you're gonna die form cancer or aids kenji it dosnt mean that theres anything wrong with you other then the fact you have a fatal illness.


amy point is that you shouldnt be feeling that way because you're yonung and have alot of time to figure things out...

Ya, in the four years since graduation I havn't really accomplished much at all. One semester left at good old douglas college and I got a shitty job. Then I look at some of my friends who are set already making $50,000+ a year. Then theres all the fuck ups in my life which drag me down a bit more. Oh well its summer. It's the season to drink and party away my sorrows :D

[diva]

Nope.
That's only because I see lots of people around me who are wasting their lives doing nothing, which makes me push myself to work harder.

...although, some people might think that being so preoccupied with being successful makes you miss out on your youth.

It's never too late to get off of your ass and take the steps towards finding some sort of purpose in your life.

i used to think that
then i started selling crack
its so rewarding

So long as I've known that I've made a difference in someone's life, whether through a tiny bit of advice, exposure to some new music or writing, allowing them to feed off of my enthusiasm, or being satisfied that my job, however insignificant it may seem compared to others, does affect the lives of several hundred people a day, then I don't feel I have/am wasting my life.

You should feel the same way.
