So I had an epiphany today. A new life is now in store for me, which amazingly involves livejournal.

I realised today, I'm pretty much wasting my youth, and what for? Dunno.

I'm setting out a new plan. Use the internet less, thus freeing up a large portion of my time. On days when I have absolutely nothing to do, I won't be afraid to go for a drive in my car by myself and go to a park and read a book. Or go to the beach for a run. I'm going to buy a camera and at least once a week go somewhere interesting and take a photo, giving myself time for me.

I'm going to eat right with true meal plans, optimised to make me feel good on the inside physically. Exercise regularly somewhere beautiful and out of the way, so every muscle I move will remind me that life itself is beautiful. I'm going to remain optimistic. I'm going to let people who like me come to me if they wish to see me, I no longer need people.

I'm going to meditate before I go to bed, burn incense and candles to calm myself. I'm not going to buy clothes from brand new anymore, stopping corporations from getting richer, and supporting local charities instead. I'm going to realise the consequences and reactions for my actions as a human being placed onto the world and environment.

I'm going to treat my studies with dignity, spend the time I should spend on them with full concentration. I'm going to watch less television, I'm going to use less fuel, spend less time in this version of home that society has constructed and attempt to forget that I can be reached at any point of my day by a phone with no wires.

Hopefully I can post the photos I take on livejournal as a way of keeping track of where I've been and what I've done. Last of all, I'm not going to feel lonely or needy or hungry or incomplete. My body is all I have, and my mind is all I have been given, I can learn to survive with these alone. Hopefully during all this I can also come to some conclusion to a higher power in the world weather it is God Allah Buddha Gaia or whatever.

It’s going to be hard, but I will have bettered myself, have worked towards something which will make me feel much better than any person can ever do.
