I'm definitly not emo, so don't get that S**T into your head, I'm a white boy from Phx AZ, I work more than full time as a janitor for a thrift store, and everthing just seems the way it's been yesterday and the day before, and the years to come. Am I really supposed to be a work machine and never accomplish any of my dreams? It's BS. But I keep workin' just so I can buy weed, and any other narcotics, and gettin' drunk off my as$... I enjoy my time away from work with my homies, and livin' a rock n' roll lifestyle, but life for me has seem to have reached it's peak of accomplishment, there's no signs, or lights, or dreams left in my head, I believe I've drown and burn them all. Try your best to sort through this, I'll take a look at it, peace.

I'm 51 yrs. old now and it seems like the type of life I led. I missed out on an education that everyone always told me was so important but I was too busy getting high and hanging with my hommies, getting laid and constantly partying just until recently. I didn't even conceive what they, My elders, were saying. That the life of partying would someday come back to bite me in the ****. Like it has u it did me. I lost all sense of direction and was giving up on life itself. Depression took it's course and drove me to suicide finally it did become an unwanted and unwarranted emotional roller-coaster ride. And am I'm ever so glad I'm off it.
Young man the direction u r looking for lies in books, education, a degree in something that will capture ur imagination once more when u push ur self to strive for something more than just getting high. Drugs and alcohol r u mortal enemies, keeping u from ur dreams and accomplishments in this life.
There is a world of opportunity still awaiting u out there and it is urs to grasp IF u CHOOSE to go after it. Nothing my friend comes without hard work and diligence unless u were born with the proverbial silver or golden spoon in ur mouth. Try taking a couple of college courses at ur local community college if u have a HS diploma if not then PLS get ur GED asap and go from there. Then keep ur head off the pipes, joints, and other narcotics that blur ur sense of thinking and u r so right it has nothing to do with emotions it's a CHOICE of lifestyle and habits that U pick. Finally, get off that self pity pot u r on and do something for urself once and for all. Hope I helped, God Bless ya.
And no I'm not one of those preaching fanatics I'm talking from life experience I just got my Associates degree last year in counseling and am working towards a certificate in substance abuse counseling this year and then hopefully a Master's in Social Work to help others like u and me climb out from where I came. I've been there done that and am now just growing up. When will u grow up?
Ur mission (purpose) in life so to speak, is to find urself and become all u can be in unisome with the Universe.

If you're working only to get high then it seems that booze and drugs are controlling your life and keeping you down like a ball and chain.
You and only you can be in control of your life. I hate to make it sound like a cliche but it's true.
What are your dreams?
What are you good at? You didn't mention what you would like to accomplish.
It starts with attitude and a plan of action. You should start by trying to set a small goal for yourself like maybe trying to be the best damn janitor out there. Once accomplished, set another slightly higher goal. Keep doing this and before long you will be on your way to a better life. Whatever your dreams may be it will take some time so start tomorrow, but dude you really need to lay off the drugs. And I hate to say it but your homies are keeping you down too, they are dead weight.
Do you see yourself hangin' out with them 5 years from now?
Life always looks different when you put on another set of sun glasses.

I am not all knowing so I can not give you the perfect answer but my personal opinion is that life exists to create more life to evolve and better ones self and the rest of that life forms race to expand that life forms Territory's and to survive and make life better for the next generation. for example new technology's to make life easier and peace between all humans these are the things we should strive for. If you live your life like that and if you succeed in this you are rewarded in the afterlife with everything you lost and were unable to achieve while doing the good things you did in this world plus ultimate knowledge.
Now as for you life these are only suggestions I don't mean to be offensive or insulting but the way you live you life it's no wonder you feel that way it's because you are doing nothing positive with your life have you ever thought of expanding on the good parts of your life. You’re a janitor that's good, it's not the best job but it serves a good purpose you can think of easier and more efficient ways of doing your job and teaching that to other people that have the same job and they will do the same thus making life a little easier for everyone and it might take a long time but eventually being a janitor will involve little or no work and will be very easy. As for the way you spend your money well I can think of a lot better ways, in the ideal world there is no need for currency but this is not a ideal world... yet. so in the mean time you should save your money to help achieve these dreams not to buy drugs and if money can’t help you achieve you dreams don’t worry you can accomplish those dreams with no effort in the after life as for the money save it and spend it on helping people wither it be feeding hungry children or helping to find a cure for cancer, or helping to fund the inventing of new technology stuff like that, now I am not suggesting you spend all your money on that you should get a nice home and a car and make sure that any problem that arises can be taking care of like you need a new roof for your home in 20 years or need to get a new refrigerator stuff like that and make sure that when you retire you have a enough to live on and enjoy life because if you did what I suggested you will deserve it. but after you have saved for that you should spend the remainder on what I mentioned above trust me you might think it's waste of time and money and won’t make you feel good or any difference in the world but it will try it. Good luck buddy.

I hear you petey. I know exactly how you feel. I decided well, I have long term dreams, Im working on them, and for now, if whats foremost in my mind is gettin high with my man and chillin on our bums, then I shouldnt feel bad if thats all I accomplish! I think most people are starting to have this problem - No one is happy, and reality isnt real any more. No one knows why they are here any more, there really doesnt seem to be much point.
So I suggest we keep getting smashed. It makes us happy....

I believe that life has no point; it's up to us to make one. To accomplish your dreams, you have to work for them. Sometimes opportunities don't come around; sometimes you have to go looking for them. Figure out what you want to do, and go for it.
