And thus, once you look under the magnifying glass of this philosophy you see... well shit... if high school doesn't matter... then why would college... and... why would life after college... and why would life after marriage or a career or whatever matter. so you pull out the gun and get ready to clock yourself. what you realize is that you're about to do is the equivalent of slowly consuming every - good AND bad AND every adjective in between - possibility in between and then proceeding to vomit them up everywhere, for everyone to witness and for some, do the same. a chain reaction of 'realization' that nothing matters. but what you /actually/ realize is that the only time that you waste in your life is the time spent not living. physically and metaphorically. why give up the opportunities for experience that you have now, for a risk, a risk that you won't have anymore, will have bad ones, good ones, or just a bunch more like in this life. so aside from the off-topic analysis on suicide... the same goes for wasting your life on over analyzing everything. once you're intune with yourself - which can take time, don't be afraid to stare off into oblivion for hours on end <--- this is not wasting your life, something good comes from everything, and if you can figure something out from being a vegetable, and you probably can, then don't panic over doing it - if you spend your life worrying/analyzing and generally just /thinking/ TOO much, i'm not saying thinking is bad, then you will have wasted a small bit of life where you could have ACTUALLY figured something out by experiencing something good or bad or inbetween in your lifetime. perhaps every memory of everything you've ever done will be zapped into oblivion when this life is over, so what, are you going to wonder about it, or actually make the process happen so you can actually find out? <-- completely off topic. anyway, you may be wasting your time reading this, maybe not, the point is you've had the experience.
no one ever gets stuck in life, you're not stuck. sometimes we'll get stuck on the same stretch of highway for too long, and you think you should have taken a turn somewhere... maybe you try to and you find what you were looking for, maybe you take a turn and every turn you keep taking just gets you more lost, or maybe you just stay on that road, whether it's right or wrong, and enjoy the journey. no matter what directions you take towards your ultimate goal, what roads you follow to your ultimate desire, or how you come up to a simple rest stop on the way - don't miss out on the view, wherever you are.
