What really irritates me is that I was like you and I hated myself and I really hate you. I hate you in the sense that you whine and muck up that puddle of undesirables in your life and don't do anything about it. You see everyone else just going out there and adding something worthwhile in their life and your caught in your room, dimmed lights and twiddling your thumbs knowing you have to do something, but don't do anything about it.
Just go man, do it. Get out. Your sleep schedule keeping you down? Here's a suggestion: Go to bed earlier.
You can talk all day about the things you could do, want to do and feel the need to do. But if you don't do it, you're just another sap who lived with the "could be"s in your life.
Go do it.

Yeah, and if you do that enough, you will start to realize that what you are doing isn't really worthwhile, and nothing you could ever do would negate death or give a fundamental meaning to existence.
Eventually, you realize that fulfillment in life doesn't come from events or actions or circumstances, but rather from relationships and your state of mind. Those who never realize this fact spend every minute of their life rushing from one place to another, constantly striving for something, constantly acting, seeking endless new experiences to try and fill the hole in themselves. In reality, they are substituting action for thought, they are preventing themselves from experiencing their own thoughts and awareness of existence. They are living the ideal television has created for them.
At some point, on a cruise ship in the Bahamas, I realized that what you are doing and where you are hardly matters. Once you have the basic needs met, what matters most in life is your mentality and the relationships you have with other people. Trying to hoard experiences will get you nowhere.
