I think that everyone has some kind of dream about life. Like, a dream about how they want things to be. Most of the time people have some grand dream about their future. Usually it is involves how they want to be a lawyer like the ones they see in the movies and make tons of money and live in a huge house in Orange County or in condo on the Hudson. And to go with their occupational and material dreams, they have a dream about who they want to meet and how they'll meet that person and how they'll end up being with that person for the rest of their life. They'll have a perfect description of their dream guy/girl with a seemingly endless list of favorable characterisics: funny yet a little sophisticated with blonde hair, brown eyes, good build but not too big, 5 foot something with a decent tan......etc etc. Sound familiar? Well if not, I guess it doesn't even really matter. The point is, I guess, I used to be like that. I used to have some grand dream about the perfect life with the perfect girl and I never wanted anything other than that dream to come true. But things happened and my thoughts of the perfect life and perfect girl changed all the time. If you search for that perfect person you hope exists somewhere out there, you won't find much. Life will pass you by as it does most people who sit around making grand plans for it. I'm the kind of person who will do anything if some where in what I'm doing I can find personal satisfacion. I love to party but I also love to do absolutely nothing. Life should be about just that: Doing what you want to do, not what other people want you to do. It should be about thinking what you want to think about, and not overly concerning yourself with others' thoughts. So many people come and go through a lifetime that it's senseless to attempt pleasing everyone or worrying about the small stuff. Life shouldn't be about searching for a purpose. Our purpose is given to us the day we're born: To Live. I think it's about experiencing everything, pleasurable and painful. Only after someone has known the bottom of the dungeon can they appreciate and undstand the castle top. I believe life is somewhat like a roadtrip - it's more about the ride, not the destination. If two good friends tell me theyre going on a roadtrip to Minnesota, and they want me to come, I'll go. The questions like "Why are we going?" "What are we going to do?" "How long is it?" aren't really important. It's just the experience. The idea of just hanging out with everyone and doing something just to do it is fulfilling. At the end of the trip, we'll all have great stories to remember one day. Even if we did nothing and the trip was dull, I'll be able to look back and laugh about the boring trip I took to Minnesota for no reason. However, I am not suggesting that living a chaotic life made up of haphazard decisions is the right way to live. Living morally and doing things that feel right and that bring peace of mind is more of what I am talking about. So the question is then, "What is good and what is not good? Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?". It is a pretty complicated question when you think about it but my answer is, "No. Everyone should know themselves well enough to figure that out." So where am I going with this? Well, no where really. I just figured that a thought process would be more meaningful than a resume'.
