What's the point in life for you? (Or just an excuse to tell my story)
70 replies, posted
What do you guys think of living? Where you want to get or what do you want to accomplish? We have to to establish some goals for our lives or live on a day-to-day basis?
Yea, I'm just asking all this cause I've been passing through some existential crisis shit, getting depressed and all. It got worse when a friend that I liked very much moved to Netherlands (I live in Brazil).
Think I'll tell the history here bout that, I just need to write this down somewhere at least once... And facepunch seems to be such a lovely place full of compassionate folks.
Sooo, I'd known she for about 2.5 years and you know when you like someone just by the first conversation, just the few first words..? I guess that's bullshit, anyway
I met her through a friend in common, problem is, she had already a history in his friendship circle and some weeks later she got along with another friend of mine that met her the same day as me, even though they were together for about a month. But to honor my friendship I just backed off and got talking less and less with her until I almost completely lost contact.
Then about a year ago we started to talk again through computer, I rarely get online on any messenger or social network, but I started to show up more just to talk to her. Just a little while later shit happened again and she started dating ANOTHER friend of mine, I knew this guy longer than her, but unlike the other, this one was a dickhead, literally. The guy just lied all the time about how much he earned from work, or how he could buy any car or whatever he wanted.. He lied bout anything, unnecessarily or unrelated to discussion and ALL his close friends knew he was lying. He was addicted to lying. In fact, he still is.
Back to story, I still can't understand how someone can have a relationship with a guy like this, seriously. And because of that, this time I just kept talking with her every now and then, but hasn't tried to force anything. Those two stayed together for about half a year.
But I was passing through all this existential shit about "What's the point in all this? I'll die anyway" and couldn't accept the fact that I was finishing university but still doesn't know why the hell I chose that course in the first place. And on my ultimately pessimist mood I just kept away from everyone and making excuses to take any action or decision about anything. After all "how could I date someone that got along with such an idiotic guy ?". However we were doing so well and she kept saying how I was the only real male friend that she has, that don't wanted to take advantage and this sort of thing... and yet I stayed isolated on my world.
And then I got the news that she was going to move to the Netherlands next month. Man, this sucked. And this just when I was feeling the worse, feeling very depressed, with little to no motivation to talk with others, she complained sometimes that I shouldn't be so quiet.
Still I had to do something, and on an anime event near my town (she is into cosplay and this kind of things and I went there just to go with her) I talked to her and said how I liked her and this kind of stuff. It worked, of course.
We stayed together all that last month she had here, I used to see her almost every days. On the lunch break of her work or at night, sometimes both. It was the first time I had some peace in a long time. And then she gone and it all ended. And I earned some months of misery and despair. I'm finally joining the pieces in wich I broke down and moving my life, but I still can't go through an entire day without thinking of her, even though at this time she is probably "enjoying life" with some random guy. God knows that I would had waited for her or found a way to follow her.
I guess the text got too long... Sorry for any bizarre writing or errors, my english isn't so good. And thanks if you read till here, I really appreciate it.
tl;dr
Had a crush on a friend for a long time, but she got along with other friends and I stayed on my corner. Just decided to come closer to her when discovered that she would move to another country, and ended up to have only one month with her.

Not sure about that one bro
dude man that shit is deep i feel you bro
My goal is to get a full-time job so I can move out and play videogames and browse internet undisturbed.
My goal in life is to live large, and live happy. Especially the happy part, because if you're honestly worried about the world ending, or the country going to shit... You aren't exactly gonna have a good time in life worrying about all that kind of stuff.
The ornament is OP's crush.

Life is pointless. There is absoloutely nothing to suggest in any way that our live's have any inherent point, or an objective even. Sure, we need to reproduce to make sure our species survives, but what if we were to all just die? What if the Universe, and everything in it, were to suddenly cease being? Would that be bad? No. Would it be good? No. It would just be.
That doesn't mean I'm unhappy my life. I just live it one day at a time, doing the things that make me happy. Some would say that's a point, but to me it's not. My happiness is only in any way relevent to me, and me alone.
To have an influence.
Life doesn't have any point at all, best you can do is try to make one up for yourself because, hey, it's fun and I might as well feel good while I'm alive.

I don't think that means what you think it means.
We ALL know that feel bro, we all do.

To do something useful in the world.
I don't think there's a purpose in life period. It's just spontaneous, in how it begins, unfolds and ends. So do what you can while your life unfolds in front of you.
Just, uh, keep the teen pregnancies to a minimum.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
EDIT:
It should also be noted that there is no "point" to life because time is made of circles and circles don't have points.
any "meaning" we give is going to be subjective, because the universe doesnt take sides, it just exists.
P.S ignore the nihilistic fucks in this thread, that will only depress you further.
P.P.S see a therapist/counsellor. you will not find much help on FP.
To have fun while you can.
No one is going to live forever, and we don't actually know if there is an afterlife or if you are reborn. So make the most of it by being there to make others feel better, to live happy yourself and hopefully you might even end up leaving such an impression on the human race that you are known in history as well.
To blow up mars
I wanna be the best, like no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause.
spend the first half getting rich and spend the second half being an eccentric fuck and living forever
I'd like to be happy
There's no set point in life, nothing that you should really do.
All that means is that you have to create a point, to find something personally meaningful and accomplishing.
To have fun (Seriously though, you dont go to work because you find it fun, you go to work so your able to afford such fun.)
