i dont want to:

live my life with firm beliefs
live my life with the assumption that im always right
live my life based on bumper sticker quotes and song lyrics
live my life based upon other people's theories on how life should be lived
live my life looking at one side of every issue
live my life forming opinions that i never change
live my life believing everything i hear
live my life tuning out everything i hear
live my life being proud of my faults
live my life based upon random "i dont want to live my life..." sayings that i write on livejournal
live my life without humor
live my life without logic
live my life only thinking through my theories half way
live my life faking emotions to make people think i'm "deep"
live my life ignoring my emotions to make people think i'm "strong"
live my life choosing whatever emotion i know will get the response im looking for
live my life dishonest with myself or others
live my life searching for greater meaning
live my life accepting that there is no greater meaning
live my life with morals that were picked for me by other people
live my life believing every dumb theory i thought of when i was 19 or 20 years old

this shit shouldnt be black or white... you dont have to be right or wrong... you dont have to be religious or atheist... you dont have to be liberal or conservative... you dont have to be happy or sad... you dont have to be dumb or smart... you dont have to be emotional or logical... you dont have to hate all of one kind of music... you dont have to like everything that is popular... you dont have to hate everything that is popular... you dont have to wake up and pick between the black shirt or the blue shirt everyday... do you understand?... you dont have to be mad to be serious... you dont have to smiling to be happy... you dont have to have a reason to be sad... you dont have to choose sides... just fucking live... be all these things... you can do drugs and be against drinking... you can drink and be against drugs... you can do drugs and be against drugs... you can be hypocritical... you can point out when other people are being hypocritical... you can be confused... you dont have to have rules... you dont have to follow other people's rules... you dont have to agree with what im saying... you dont have to disagree with what im saying... you dont even have to understand what im saying (although it would truly help)... you can be lazy and motivated at the same time... life isnt simple... people arent simple... unless you truly want to be... in which case, go for it... its okay to be torn on an issue... its okay to be undecided... nobody has figured out why we are here and what our purpose is... so just do what you do... be pissed, be sad, be happy, be everything at once... have fun... or cry your eyes out... whatever makes you feel alive... and when you dont feel alive anymore, kill yourself... who said suicide is a bad thing anyway?... im not saying live your life overanalyzing everything... but give this shit some thought...

then again, why listen to me? im the one who keeps asking questions and not giving any answers. maybe you'd be best served listening to yourself. in any case, i hope this was helpful.
