22nd of May 2014 | Emotionally Unprepared for Life

Three sick days this week but an ache lingers. Up until now I thought I truly was sick, but now all I feel is emotional exhaustion and fear. I’m drained from a life were all living and days like today I wonder if this even is living. I don’t know if today I’m a little sad or if this is just another existential crisis but I have no idea why I am here. I don’t understand life and I don’t understand living and I don’t even know how you’re suppose understand it, yet on the surface we all do think we understand it. But isn’t it just a matter of perception? A scientist would find his meaning of life through fact collecting the inner workings of human life or atmosphere in a quest to understand something; a writer would write the world and create them with things that their world inspired them. I don’t even really understand what I’m trying to say or trying to understand or even if I want to. But on a day like this when the trees outside my window are still and all my friends are at school and I’m sitting alone trying to be interesting and justifying why it was ok for me to ditch school today. I just wonder if were seriously doing it all right, the way were all going and the paths that are being laid out for us. What if education isn’t everything? What if understanding calculus wasn’t actually that important, (and I’m not just saying that because math is horrifying) but seriously what if lawyers and doctors and freaking sales assistants weren’t even important. What if the human race could survive without money and be rich purely in love. We would never know because we’ve never tried. As humans we value competition and greed above the importance of living, really living and being inspired and loving and being loved. Those are things I think are most important and what makes humans human, we don’t feel fully with a good bank statement or job description and I think we all know it yet we preach the importance of it anyway because it’s easy and keeps us guarded from actually feeling anything. And isn’t that our job, to feel. So maybe the meaning of life isn’t in actual life itself because that would be shallow and were all merely players in life’s mind fucks so what if the meaning of life was really just how we feel and our emotions and love. Well that’s why cheesy craply written theory anyway.
