Then maybe get a little perspective. There's a reason they call this time the best time of your life. Because it's only downhill from here.

Answer 1

I loved it.

Very honest and very true.

So simply done, I have a hard time believing that anybody who watched that wasn't agreeing with you & feeling your pain.

Sometimes we get so caught up in life.

In the pain, drama, emotion but most of all the most materialistic things.

Friends, Boyfriends, Clothes, Body Images, Money, Greed . But what we all just want is love, because we all just want to be loved, yet we're searching in all the wrong places.

I think the most important thing to remember is that we're all human and we're all just living. And that's it. And that's what we have to be grateful for. That we are living, and we're alive and experiencing and growing. And we can spend our whole lives searching for love and meaning and along the way get wrapped up in other peoples lives and pop culture's image of beautiful and glamorous, but if we all just step out of it all and see the bigger picture and appreciate this opportunity to spend time on this planet and to at least try and understand ourselves and love ourselves- the way we think, feel, experience- then we can show others who we really are and think and feel and experience WITH them. And through this we are living. And through this, if we just let it all go and stop caring about every little detail of life, we will find happiness and ultimitley we will find the opportunity to love and be loved. Did that make any sense, at all?

I don't know if you'll find any relevancy in this at all, but sense we're on the subject of life [such a vague subject], I wrote this last night and wanted to share it with anyone struggling and hurting and questioning right now.

"Why live?

It was bliss almost. Complete comfort. But still,

what was the meaning of it.

What is the meaning of this...

for what do I wake and walk and sleep?

for what do you wake and walk and sleep?

The base of my spine tingled

my mind dissolved

my heart sung

even my face smiled

I wonder now.

I wonder if deep in,

somehow, somewhere deep inside

that's how it really always is.

I wonder if perhaps we're not always held in that great heart merging embrace

but then even,

amongst the absolute contentment and bliss,

is there a point?

Does nature have a point, a purpose,

or is that just a human thing?

I wonder now.

I wonder now. I feel a crying yearning feeling for mergence.

“Please,” I say, “I don't want to live this life, I want only to be.”

But it is given, and so I receive.

If I have been walked thus far, should I not continue to walk?

Now, I don't think it is me walking. Nor was it really ever.

Maybe I walked only when I resisted.

Still, I feel crying, longing; like a child for his mother.

I have no desires. I want no things.

If I tell you I do, then you may know that you're not really speaking to me.

You're speaking to the actor in this great cosmic dream.

Sometimes I can't help but to go along.

I don't really know what else to do.

I didn't pray before.

Now I do.

Not for any religion explicitly,

But just to whatever it is I'm longing for.

I feel an infant in this vast cosmic sea of life.

I've said and known myself before that we've never really left Home.

Yet still I long for Home.

And yet, I know I'm always at Home. Yet I feel lost.

And so I pray that I may remember what Home feels like.

Do you understand?

Do you feel it too?

Can we dissolve?

Can we not fight anymore?

Can we surrender our egos to love?

I'm still weeping,

I'm still prostrating at your feet,

I'm still shinning in bliss,

I am all these things.

I feel strange these days.

I know not why to go on.

But I do, simply because I know not why to stop.

I am a feather in the wind,

I am a twig in the stream,

I am a sinking stone in the sea.

I am all these things,

and I am no things."

Peace and Love,

Eva

At first I was thinking...Ohhhh another pathetic over-dramatic teenage girl feeling sorry for herself. I was getting ready to stop watching halfway through, but you saved it for me at the end. I'm glad I watched 'till the end. At least you smiled at the end.

And hey, I love YOU!!!
