So life is kinda crazy

One minute I feel like an insignificant speck on this vast planet, the next I feel like I’m on top of the world. It’s so strange…

I know I should march through life like it’s a project to be worked on but sometimes I feel so lost in the shuffle. I want to keep going and doing but I inevitably stop and I ask myself why? What for? And the only relevant answer has nothing to do with babies to feed or money to make. The only response I can ever internalize is; because I have to… Because no one is going to do it for me. Because I occupy my body and I’m stuck with it. If I Stop, I will be lost in introspection, I must keep pushing further and trust that some good will come. I just want to speak my mind and hope that I can make money doing that…. And sometimes I don’t think I’m good enough but honestly success really isn’t measured in talent- Its measures in perseverance. There are tons of talentless nobodies making a fortune and tons of creative geniuses stuck in the oblivion of insanity. I am not so conceded that I can speak my mind believing that I deserve the attention. But I know I have to continue to express myself I because if I didn’t I would really be nothing. I would have no purpose. I was born with an ever-spinning wheel of perception and I need to use it or render myself useless. Hopefully somewhere along the lines I can inspire somebody and live for some other reason than to just be. Hopefully I will cause little suffering and lots of joy. Then I guess life is my creative project and like all of my projects I am compelled to make it distinctly mine. Hey Jordyn, thanks for being my audience. I really do appreciate it. I believe in what I have to say but sometimes that’s not enough you know… thanks for that little something extra. It helps, really it does.

Life is COMPLETELY crazy. All this... stuff. Not the material stuff, but the stuff in life. People, relationships, goals and dreams and whatever else there is. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just give up. Not give up life, but maybe quit trying so hard and ease up a little. And then I come up with the only answer there is most times, and it's what you hit on in this blog, "because I have to." There's something inside of me MAKING me keep going, stopping me from giving up as much as I might want to sometimes.

Oh, and I love reading all this stuff you write. All of it helps me in some way. Maybe just knowing there's someone out there who thinks about the same things I do and who wonders about life like I do.
