Day Twenty-Seven: What’s the best thing going for you right now?

Well, me, really. :D

I guess I've got a lot going for me right now. My amazing friends, my fantastic family, the fact that I have another realistically cushy 2 years of Uni ahead of me, moving into a new house for Uni soon and just....me. I mean, sure there could be a lot more going for me right now, but as it stands it's all quite good. But it's not to say that things won't develop any time soon is it? :)

Who knows? I could run into a fortune next week. Or find the love of my life tomorrow. Or change someone's life right now. You never know...

Just take a look back through this blog to find it all out :)

Day Twenty-Six: Have you ever thought about giving up on life?

Um. Not going to lie. No. Simple as.

I've often been in self-destruct mode in places. Y'know, just saying fuck it, drinking too much, smoking too much and doing stupid shit, but never wanted to take my own life. The way I see it is that it's the easy option in a way. Sure, it must take a lot of pressure and stress to want to take your own life, but surely nothing in all of reality can ever really be that bad? I mean, yeah, sure, people who have done it must've thought it was the only option at the time, but the way I see it is that if you fight through it you'll come out the other end with just as a strong a resolve.

Sorry if that sounds insensitive to you, but that's just the way I see it.

Okay, I know I said yesterday that today's post was going to be better, and it's not that great is it, really?

Um....sorry...

Might add a bit to this later, but for the mean time, this will have to suffice.

:D

Day Twenty-Five: The reason you believe you are still alive today

Um....seriously? That's today's question?

Really?

Well, gah, um....well, I suppose because I haven't killed myself or been killed by someone (yet). I've eaten the right amount of nutrients to support my body from dying. I've breathed enough oxygen in to sustain a reasonable heart rate to keep my muscles alive and organs functioning. Nothing out of the ordinary, really.

Oh and. And. I'm not stupid enough to die from a drug/ alcohol induced comatose. No, siree. I'm smart like that. Apparently.

Well, this is a short post, isn't it?
Here's another humorous picture for you to revel in. Enjoy!

Tomorrow's will be better. Promise :)

Day Twenty-Four: Write a playlist to someone, explaining why you chose each track

Right, I'm not going to make a playlist to one specific person. That's just being mean. Instead, I' going to make a playlist about me, right now.

I think that's about it. Quite a list eh? Sure, the majority of the list are songs that many people would say should never have made it out of the 1980's, but these are my favourites right now. Don't dis, yeah? :D

They have all been listened to by me across the summer. I do love music, very much. It speaks to me and it means so much to me, as I'm sure it does to so many people out there in this world.

I hope that anyone reading this will take a few minutes to look some of these songs up to see why I appreciate them so much :)

Peace

Day Twenty-Three: Something you wish you had done in your life

Right! John returns! Sorry to the few people actually reading this, I have been somewhat busy over the last week and a half or so. So. Yes. Here we are. My triumphant return.

Things I wish I had done. More or less the opposite of the last post, isn't it? Might as well continue that format.

I wish I had said yes more in my life
I wish I had more courage in believing in what I do
I wish I had more things go my way in the last week or so
I wish I could stop putting myself down
I wish I had travelled the world already and met a million people from a hundred countries
I wish I had been far more efficient
I wish I had taken what I want instead constantly equivocating and making things hard for myself
I wish I had more trust in the people around me earlier in our friendships
I wish I had been to more gigs in the past
I wish I had done more to change my life earlier

But oh well. Can't have everything, can we? Maybe I should stop being so selfish about my life. I can't have it all my way. And I've come to accept that. I don't like it, but I've accepted it. I don't like not winning. I have in many, many ways in my life, but there are many things which I just can't seem to win. And that's so shit.

Anyway, on a less depressing side, I'd like to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who had read this. Even everyone who hasn't read this. Thank you. Thank you for enriching my life in so many ways. Thanks for being there. Thanks for setting me up. Thanks for pushing me down. For helping me. For letting me help you. For being you.

Cheers :)
