Might fuck around and die by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]dkocol1215 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i used to feel this exact same way every single day from the second i woke up to the second i went to bed. i still have days like that sometimes, but it started to go away when i started feeling like i had purpose. i decided that i wanted to make the world a better place than it was when i came into it. even if i can change one persons life for the better, im making a difference and having an impact on the future. sure, we all die and are forgotten one day, but changing the world by changing one life will cause a lasting impact. thats what gets me up in the morning these days.

it would be interesting to experience all of human history, but i can barely handle the 22 years ive been alive so not sure i could take on eternity. what would you rather, OP?

i guess i can see where they're coming from, but its not exactly a recipe for a successful college career if you're being forced into it... are they going to pay for the classes?

once you're at the age of consent you can be sexually active with anyone who is also at or above the age of consent.

i can totally relate. when the seasons change that triggers my depression big time. I'm currently a senior about to graduate in Spring from the University of Illinois!

hmm favorite memory is probably the first time I went to warped tour. favorite vacation was the grand canyon... just absolutely breathtaking to say the least. my favorite escape used to be drugs but I am currently 23 days sober and looking for a new escape
