What?

[Jonesy]

Like you I am 20 years old but I'm a good-for-nothing and I have not accomplished a thing. I have no useful education, I proscratinate easy schoolwork to the point of almost getting dropped from courses.

What do you want to do with your life?

I have thought about this sometimes and I could say that I want to become a kickass fighter and make a lot of money, marry an idol and retire early my only realistic goal in life is get in shape and get an easy job which pays decent money so I can afford my hobbies.

What do you think you are? A leader, a brainiac, a rebel, a smart-ass, a thinker, a fighter, what? (you don't have to stick to one classification, I know it would be impossible to be 100% anything)

A rebel I guess? I have problems with authority and people who think they are important.

What makes you feel alive?

A new berryz promotional video. I have few hobbies and they are what keep me going.

What do you cherish?

Family, pets and probably my computer + contents.

Why do you get out of bed every morning?

Because my dad will kick my ass otherwise. But my days are pretty boring by other peoples standards. The first thing I do in the morning is turn on the computer.

What do you think you're going to do with your life?

For society? Not much. For myself? Not enough.

What are your goals?

My current goal is to get a decent body before autumn. It's something I feel I have to do for myself, too long have I sat on my ass and risked diabetes. I haven't thought longer than that, I want to take one thing at a time.

What do you think makes you, you?

I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer your question. But if I had to say something I've noticed a difference between you and me. While you worry a lot about the future and how to express yourself I am more easy going and take it as it comes. I don't have any way of expressing myself but I am content that way.

What do you think I could do to understand what I want?

I might possibly be the worst person in the world to help you with this, but my guess would be that you should use your motivation to improve yourself instead of others.

What are your fears?

While I feel that I don't really need other people I'm afraid I'll die without ever entering a serious relationship. I have trouble opening up to people and I don't really know if there are many girls who would like a guy like me, even if I was more attractive. I'm hoping I'll gain more confidence with a better body.

Christ Bilbo, that was honest man. Props to you for not dilluting who you are. Everyone has their own faults, but most won't actually acknowledge that. Keep on, keeping on brother.

edit: I didn't read any others, not enough time for me-- props to those who were similarly honest.

What do you want to do with your life?
Right now I am on track to become a high school science teacher. this seems like a good way to spend my working years to me, but i cant help but feel like teaching for 30 years is almost like my safety net in case nothing better comes up. i wanna have kids, 2 or 3 at most. i think i wanna get married, i dunno. i wanna see the world, explore it, the sea and the land. i wanna make a difference too.. i think teaching is an excellent way to do this. i can be a positive role model for so many kids.

What do you think you are? A leader, a brainiac, a rebel, a smart-ass, a thinker, a fighter, what? (you don't have to stick to one classification, I know it would be impossible to be 100% anything)
I am an explorer/experimenter. i thrive on testing my limits and trying out new things to see the influence they have on me. my friends know that i always have a new scheme cooking. recently i have tried to live without an alarm clock, tried to completely eliminate commercials from my life, and tried to watch no tv channel but the spanish channel. i also went on a detox diet. unfortunately i am good at coming up with these ideas, but bad at following through with them. there is a rebel in me that has a constant urge to go against what everyone ese is doing as well, which my experimenter side feeds off of.

What makes you feel alive?
nature, i guess. there is nothing that gets my blood pumping more than exploring and being challenged by nature. i love the challenge of it. this past week i was at the ocean and every day i went off on walks along the beach to explore. i found some cool stuff, went real far. the only garaunteed natural high i seem to get comes from exploring nature.

oh yeah, i forgot competition. i love winning a good fight. god damn. not that i win all the time, but triumph is the best.

What do you cherish?
a couple of my better friends, my family, my pet rabbits (they are so simple and innocent). and then my music, my guitar, my computer, my mp3 players, blah blkah. what i cherish other than the first 3 things i listed depends on what i am around. having just gotten home from school and a trip to florida, i cherish my good old home and bed like no other.

Why do you get out of bed every morning?
Recently, at school, i have been getting out of bed just cause i know i am fucked if i dont. over the last few weeks, upon waking up the negative thoughts would just start pouring into my head. like "this day/week is gonna suck" "i dont want to do anything that i need to do today" "i dont want to see anyone who im going to see today." it's been hard lately. i have been trying to break this cycle, i think positive thinking could be the key.

What do you think you're going to do with your life?
talked about it above mostly. i dont really know.

What are your goals?
gonna bike across america one day. maybe sail the seas. i wanna find true love, and raise a couple of great kids. i dont wanna be in the norm.

What do you think makes you, you?
meh

What do you think I could do to understand what I want?
you? if i were you i would just try new things. be open to new experiences.

What are your fears?
hm.. well. failing school, getting cancer or some shit, getting fat, having a boring life and a job that sucks, not being able to find love, being stuck in a routine for my entire working life.

LB: Everyone needs something in their life to worry about, otherwise they haven't go a sense of balance. If they're amazingly happy then its going to come crashing down soon. If you've got friends, intellect, a relationship, a family, and you're worrying about motivation when you know its going to get done or get sorted out in the end, then - and I'm being nasty with the best possible intentions to get my point home - stop fucking soul searching and pull yourself together

What makes you feel alive? Smiling/Laughing

What do you cherish? Music/dance

Why do you get out of bed every morning? to be with people, and meet new people!

What do you think makes you, you? I care about people as soon as I meet them.

What do you think I could do to understand what I want? dunno what this means...

What are your fears? Not appreciating today enough, thinking too much about the past.

Response that I gave on the other forum, here it is for you guys-

I thought about it Undies, and it feels weird to say it, but I eventually came to the realization that I don't need all the answers right now. At my core, I'm not a leader, I'm not a guy that makes everything better, I'm not any one extreme, which is what I thought I had to be. The clearest part of me, the part I know that isn't influenced by anyone's opinions or anything, is that I want to tell stories with my drawings. I want to be a storyteller. Everything else, I honestly don't know yet. But I don't need to know, I'm finally willing to throw everything in the air and let it come into place on it's own.

Control. I guess if I knew all the answers, if I knew where I wanted to be in 9 months, if I knew why exactly I'm so scared to let people in and why I'm so lost when it comes to who I am, I wouldn't have to leave anything to chance and my life could be all set, all put into place in nice little pieces. I guess life isn't like that, and after thinking about it, I really wouldn't want it to be. Bad shit's going to happen and I'm going to make mistakes, but until I'm willing to put myself into the fire, until I'm willing to walk that tightrope I'm never going to truly know what's on the other side, never going to truly experience life. That's why all my aniamtions thus far haven't met my expectations I guess, I've had this massive fear of failing and so I've never put 100% into it, I've never paced myself and I dunno, I've never just given it my all. I don't know where I'm going or who I totally am but I'm ok with that.
