i am so happy these days, and it makes me marvel at the birth lottery. i lucked out, i really did. i am so ludicrously well off considering the amount of effort/seriousness i've ever put into anything.
these are the things i've earnestly pursued in my life:
- tvz & zvt in broodwar
- a few music song things
- self-actualizing
- cataloging experiences/sensations
-

look at this list, it's the most self-centered and useless shit. i did almost literally nothing during college except jerk off and get high and somehow finished an (albeit shit) degree. i haven't been sober for longer than a month in three years and i have a fulltime job that is easy and pays well. factor in my relations and low standards and i will never have to worry about money in my life. i overcame existential angst because i'm smart enough to understand camus, but not smart enough to delve into the rabbit hole of 'real' philosophy. i frequently blow off even my best friends because i happened to meet extremely cool people that always forgive me for it. what the fuck?

all i care about in life right now is pursuing young artistic cute women and what an absurd... luxury that is!

in the sirens of titan, the greatest sin in vonnegut's invented religion ("The Church of God the Utterly Indifferent") is to attribute positive twists of fate to your own doing, and believe that anyone deserves anything that happens to them. i think about this all the time, but i don't know what to do with this information. do i apologize? am i wasting something? my friends with more productive jobs and higher status seem so unhappy still, but i'm fine. is a life happily lived worth it already? is it complacency to aspire for the most important thing, happiness, and then just be completely satisfied once you hit it?

edit: i'm not a girl, but you can continue being weirdly nice to me because of the 1% uncertainty. makes the internet a much more pleasant place.

Why do you think the most important thing is happiness?

Sometimes I wish I weren't as well off as I am.

Don't worry about the things you can change, for you will change them.

If you're able to type what you just did on a computer and post it freely, you're a lot more well off than you probably think.

I think happiness is my personal definition of not wasting anything as long as I can sustain myself in the situation I attain it. My second priorities would be seeking a wider range of human experience or perhaps working to improve society or the lives of other, more destitute beings. I think the degree of complacency one feels when reaching a zenith (like being truly happy) is partially equal to the effort or work you feel like you put into getting there. It seems more likely to me to attain happiness through happenstance rather than focused effort and thus those who've attained happiness are less likely to feel complacent about their situation. I don't see having a good life in and of itself as being a driving force towards doing something more, whatever that may be, to improve upon it.

It's at times like these I get frustrated at myself for not being better at English so that I may communicate my thoughts more clearly.
The cur foretells the knell of parting day; The loafing herd winds slowly o'er the lea; The wise man homeward plods; I only stay to fiddle-faddle in a minor key.

Thought this was going to be a brag blog about your superior looks and talents.
Rather its a brag blog about being happy, something which is much harder to obtain

5/5, GlHf with your indie chicks.

(Also thanks for linking me to Camus, I needed some positive philospy to pursue)

Man, must be nice being a girl. Good luck finding young artistic cute lesbians though. This is probably going to be the toughest thing you will face in your life. Glhf.

If you are so happy, try spreading it around. There is a lot of suffering in the world..

It seems self evident that if you are even thinking to ask
is a life happily lived worth it already?
then the answer is of course not.

However, if you lack the inner nagging feeling to pursue why, then there's nothing to be done.

I thought all young artistic cute women were lesbians. Is Boardwalk Empire wrong?
