Some Ground Work

I don't know if anyone will ever read this apart from me. If you do, please bare in mind that I am just as lost in this life as the next guy. I don't pretend to have any answers, and I can only hope that they do exist somewhere out there.

It seems to me that life is like a big race, except nobody knows where they're going. We all keep seeing finish lines, and those of us that make it to them only find out that it was just a checkpoint, and that there's still a long way to go. 

Anyway, I've decided that maybe in my haze of indecision and disillusionment I am missing something big. It's happened before, and I've seen it happen to other people. Although my depression, if you can call it that, isn't as bad as other people's... as far as I can tell.  

And that's just the thing, how do I know that everyone else isn't just as puzzled as I am? I could ask, but what if everybody is in fact like me, but still persisting on denying the undeniable question of life? I used to be like that, always finding some excuse, some pursuit that would give my life some meaning.

But I digress. The point of this blog is to get practical, and fix the situation. Unfortunately, when one is feeling like this, being pragmatic isn't always the easiest as emotions seems to get in every which way.

Some things that I will do to remedy my predicament, and instil some real happiness in my life:

1. Stop listening to music via earphones.
2. Shut down my Facebook.
3. Join a sports team (need to decide what type).
4. Join a Christian club at uni.
5. Keep up the gym work.


And thus, make some real friends. It's a fine line though. On one side, one doesn't want to be too nice, because that can be bad, but one doesn't want to be so cool as to keep everyone at arms length, which is where I've been (maybe not the too cool part though).
