Everyone in this world wants their voice to be heard. Deep down everyone is after their 15 minutes of fame. No one wants to be forgotten after they’ve died, everyone wants their memory left behind in one way or another. Many of us have attempted to do this through blogging, and it looks as though I’m jumping on the bandwagon.
I have recently come to terms with the fact that I can be considered as an optimistic-pessimist. I seek out happiness, but I know half of the world has gone to shit. Day in and out I see people do stupid things – human nature is basically crap.
We spend half of our lives attempting to ascertain the meaning of it all. Some write books, philosophies, climb mountains, others travel, have families, explore food, pleasure, sex, others aspire to their dream jobs and get stuck in a corporate rut. We’re all stubborn by nature, stuck in our values and beliefs. Take what you will from mine. I still have a list of things to do before I die, clearly I am after meaning as well. Yet at 21, I’ve accomplished few of these, stuck in the rut of Western societal pressures and values to get an education followed by a career.
Deep inside, something else inside of me wants to get out, and these ideas and minor epiphanies will be shared here in my attempt to get meaning from it all.
So in this blog, I will write what I see, what I think, commentating on all aspects of life. This is my story and this is what I want.
This blog is for you corporate buggers, lost souls, clock in-clock out, making a living to settle down people. Or anyone who is curious about what I have to say. Hell if I know all the answers, but it doesn’t hurt to try.
I’m not going to say yes to everything, or leave behind passive-aggressive notes, fuck my life comments, or share life changing secrets. Read if you want, listen if you can, and I invite you to comment with some optimistic and pessimistic advice.
This is an optimistic pessimist’s outlook on life. Human nature sucks. Enjoy.
