Someone the other day
asked me why life even matters/ why is it important? And to be honest that really saddened me because
that issue should not be one to
discourage or mock. Your life is the most important thing you have because once
it’s done your history. You only have once chance and it’s a few years then you’re
gone and you see darkness for a good long while, unless there really is a
heaven/hell (which one person believes while another does not, not getting into
that though.)
But to the be fair to
the person in question, he was a teenager who just broke up with his first GF,
was in a first time situation. Most of everyone’s been there before, that
moment you just feel like a failure and hate everything, and I am a master of
dealing with it. So I gave this kid a pep talk that followed listing to his
situation. And to be honest it was one
of my better ones, and I even remembered what I said:
“Young Man, your girl
was being a witch, and trust me the world’s full of them. You would be surprised how many of them exist. But you know what? She’s not worth questioning your life and wishing it
would end. Odds are she will regret dumping you one of these days, but it means
more for you to actually you know be alive because if you’re dead she will be
talking to you at your grave and that’s no fun.
Even if you two end up as total strangers you’ll end up with someone
else, its human nature. Now quit being
silly young man, pick yourself up, straighten your head, and go have a good
time. Now go, move along…”
You see, I did that
whole monologue without mention that crappy YOLO phrase (besides just now of
course.) It worked, the kid picked himself up and acted like normal, if my
generation would have had that help we could have been alright.
Life is not nothing to
despise or mock, it’s rather precious and important. Don’t take it for granted
and do things the way you should, and don’t be one of these people including
myself who thinks about their mistakes. Because it creates stress and stress is
no good for anyone and it could even take years off your life (or so a guy from
the DMV told me, and I believed him.)
I see many people who
are like that kid, and it saddens me. It shouldn’t be that way, and I know it’s
not possible to be totally happy 24/7 but being a better person at the end of
the day is much better. Be proud of who
you are, even if you’re a flawed individual or one who is considered a freak,
because sometimes it is cool to be unperfect, even if society hates that. Because in that way your telling Popular
Society to go F itself, and I love it.
Now, I hope everyone
has a great weekend. I will be working away on my main stuff and I will be
ready to go on Monday. I will see/hear from
everyone on the flipside!
