Questions about life

Ok, here's another pointless thread from me. Sometimes I sit back and look at myself, and my life, and just say wtf. How did I get to this point. I'm not in a bad place, but certainly not where I thought I would be at this point in my life.

I believe that we choose to go through this life as a learning experience. I think that we choose people that we love to help us along the way, to experience it with us. I also believe that we know these people when we meet them. Some people call it love at first site, others just admit a sense of knowing the person for a long time. THis is not just in a romantic sence, they could be our brothers, our fiends, anyone who plays an important role in our lives.

I also believe that in choosing to come back, we make our plans with a certain theme in mind. Something that we really want to know about. So we throw obstacles in our path.

But, what if we overdid it. What if I was a bit overenthusiastic in choosing my obstacles. I seem to always cause myself problems. I want that which I cannot have. Whenever my life is going smoothly, I seem to come up with something to throw it offcourse.

It definitely makes life interesting. I'm rarely bored. I guess I'm just a drama queen.

I guess my question is, do you ever feel like you're sabotageing yourself? Is anyone ever satisfied with what they have? With their lives?

Sometimes I feel like I am sabotaging my own life. I try not to, I've learned that when I can't be rational I shouldn't make decisions and normally when I'm doing this sabotage I'm not in the best of emotional states. It hinders life sometimes. I have to "run away" as I always have when I need to calm down and think about things. Think about things, and if you can't think straight then take a break from the situation. But don't keep doing it.

I would say that witgh the way I change carrers and move to different parts of the country every few years that I'm never really content with where I put myself.

as for if I feel like I'm sabotaging myself? I guess so. I don't really look at what I've done as mistakes, just that I sometimes regret not doing something else too.

for example .. I finally found out what I'm really good at and love to do. the only problem is that I didn't figure it out until I was 26. if I had figured it out when I was like 18 or so I could have done things alot differently and be in a totaly different place right now. as it stands I have a little catch up work to do to get to where I want to be, and I may never actually reach it.

I guess the important parts are that I have a plan and I think I like it. who knows .. maybe I'll be sitting around in another 10 years and wondering why the hell I changed everything around so often.

Teenage Angst Makes Late Appearance

Columbus, OH (AP) -- In an unexpected and senseless attack, a twenty-something married mother of two was savagely assaulted by teenage angst.

Lunacy, currently resident in Asylumnation, was taken unawares late last night in what police are describing as "a beautiful example of how we're all subjected to feelings of vague, constant, nagging disatisfaction and how we all finally realise that life's what you make it and it's a wonderful journey etcetera, but, y'know, sometimes we fuck it up and then have to work out how to get back on the rails again -- but all this usually happens when we're like 15 or something."

A spokesman for the county hospital said that Lunacy is in a precarious, but stable condition, after being temporarily blinded by the amazingly obvious. With continued bedrest and a break from watching too many mind-numbing afternoon television shows like Oprah and taking herself too seriously, the prognosis is excellent.

Well, maybe the whole serious look doesn't work for me. Didn't mean to bother anyone by sharing. I guess I'll just go back to the insubstantial shite I usually post.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
