Life is meaningless.
There is no purpose. we are species. a complex, wonderful, strange species. But in all its complexity, life is just life. As humans we are sometimes such lovely people and sometimes such horrible monsters. But we will not go into that right now. Humans are not here to do anything or be anything specifically except to survive, if even that. Yet it seems, at least to me, that every there is a fixed idea and mentality of how life should be and even what it is- you must do this and that here and there etc. as if everything has to be a certain way. there is so much dependence on what is 'normal' and as associated with 'correct'. and what is 'different' is foreign, scary, and weak. I am sick of hearing that something is wrong or bad merely because it is different.
Maybe I'm intensely naive, but I just don't always understand this notion. we are, of course, individuals, but we are in so many ways like each other. we just seem different on the exterior. sometimes we are generic versions of each other. this is not a bad thing necessarily, it just strikes me as interesing. This, too, stems from the idea of whats normal or even whats cool, pretty and the correct way to look, act, feel, and be. a lingering stench of pressure possibly turning to self hate. don't ever let anyone tell you how to live your life. Live it for yourself, however you want to. because hey, life is meaningless, and eventually, nothing will matter.
You are beautiful. You are a beautiful writer, I am not kidding. Clearly the suffering of AP Composition helped immensely. Or you have a talent within, because I know that everything you wrote just came from within your soul. I loved it. The "norm" is such a nasty and gruelling idea, it makes me sick to think about it. I hate it just as much, or more, than you do. Life is meaningless if we strive for the bar set by other people. That's why we have to carve and create our own life paths. I agree, except with optimism that you did not mention! Maybe there is an underlying sense of optimism that you are expressing: individuality. What is normal? WHO FUCKING CARES?
ReplyDeleteoh lover you're the best. i couldn't figure out how to incorporate more positivity into it without making it contradict hah
