It's pointless to "play the game of life on hard". As someone earlier stated before life isnt a game. This is, where I realized how unworldly your view on life actually is. Stop the video games and realize what the world is up to. I do not mean to be an asshole, but people like you need a kick in the butt. Especially in times like these. | ||

at least start surfing and live on the beach, or do something with your freedom. You sound like you have no plan, no idea other than "distance yourself from everyone whose care of you makes you incapable of moving freely because you need to factor their happiness into your actions", but you probably haven't even talked to them about your feeling of being imprisoned, it's actually very possible that they would be sympathetic and understanding. I know that when I have taken the time to talk to my loved ones about dreams and aspirations that I have that are somehow not compatible with the life I share with my loved ones, they have been supportive and understanding to a greater degree than I thought possible! It's like, from my perception, it's like you have this, "I just need to build character through hardship, character that will enable me to grow and succeed at whatever future endeavor I choose to focus my talents and dedication on", because you've bought into some collective success-story of the hard working rags to riches guys, point of view on life, but it's just so.. flawed. Basically you want to live in the gutter so you can be empowered to move so far beyond the gutter that you will never have to look back. This is not the empirical reality we live in. The more time you spend in the gutter, the more likely you are to spend your future in the gutter. It is hard to concentrate on developing marketable abilities in a semi-post-scarcity society when your life consists of getting by. The only real future your plan seems to be building for itself would be that of some modern day Bukowski, where you want to live the dreary hopeless life of a homeless so you can best give a remarkable literary account of what that life is like, making you the voice of millions of disillusioned. Sadly I have no reason to believe that your writing ability would make this life path a viable one for you. Basically, don't buy into this whole, hardships make you stronger idea. For most people, serious hardships makes them weaker. It might make you more resilient - but resilience is only a valuable trait to people who are suffering. You want to avoid suffering, not make yourself more apt at handling it. What you need to do is rather accept that your future life path is not going to be paved with hollywood insignia bearing your name, you need to develop, and accept, a more realistic horizon for the future. You don't need to be wealthy, famous, one of society's top dogs to be happy. You just need to accomplish something that is in line with your expectations for the future. Accept that you're not particularly special, and that maybe you're just destined for a normal life. To find happiness, this is for most a much smarter path to take. Being exceptional is by definition a very rare trait. | ||
