I have thought and discovered many things about my life in the past.
However there are time now where i think i may have it all wrong.
I've thought my purpose here was to live to the fullest and be happy. (Easier said than done)
I thought to achive happiness i have to serve other and be accepted and maybe i will durive some sort of satifaction out of this. So i try to be nice to people, get people to like me, be accepted and liked by everyone that knows me. I'm not so sure how well i have done with this, but i know it has not made me happy.
So maybe to achive happiness i need to think more of myself.
However thinking of myself can make me a very selfish person and self centered, and i hate people like that. So is there some median. Some place in the middle where i serve other and myself.
Or maybe i have all this wrong and my life is not about my happiness.
Who says you have to be happy?
Is it all just about comfort? Is this about, i have the fastest car, the biggest house, the hottest girlfriend? That is all comfort things, do we need that much comfort.
Can the man that works his ass off for little wages and go home to his family every night not be as happy as the man that retired early to live with his family in his 10000 sq ft home?
I think i have aimed far too high in my life. I took a shot and was way off.
I am still young i still have more shots to take. I need not miss every time. I can find what i'm looking for now.
I just need to keep faith, hope, and heart.
Life is not about comfort and happiness, it's about living.
I will live and love where i am comfortable, i will continue to search for the better me, someday i will find what i'm looking for and live in peace.
I'm not a lost cause, i have life to live and love to give. Love to give in every aspect of my life, my family, my friends, people i run into in the street.
This life is not meaningless, we do have purpose. Just sometimes i lose sight of what really matters. I get destracted with the downs of this chapter of my life. I need to keep hope and look to the good to come. Even if i end up as the man working all day for little wages, i will still have purpose and i will still keep on liveing. I have not come this far to give up and die. My 17 years are not in vein. Even if i die tomorrow i will never lose hope. The hope that even with me gone, i will live on in the hearts of the ones i love.
No matter what you see, think of me not as a shallow teenage, For my heart runs deep.
