Would you really want the burden of being important? I wouldn't. I'm glad I'm just a nobody

I don't think so. I'm not looking to become famous or great or what not. But I feel I'm missing something very important, and I can't be happy without it. Yes, I am unhappy. I lack something I need urgently. And this is killing me. This ordinary life just doesn't cut it. what it is I have yet to find out, something to feel the emptiness inside of me.

"Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad."


Maybe you took the blue pill?

That's funny, because I'm 40 and feel like I've got a whole lifetime ahead of me. I want to see my son graduate from college, get a career, get married, and see my grandkids. I also want to keep working my way up in my career.

Yes, I don't look like I'm in my 20's anymore, but I wouldn't go back to poverty and ignorance for looks. The wisdom and experience are well worth the trade-offs....

I'm not talking about calendar. I'm saying that I'd give up my entire life for say just one year of life I really want to live and be happy and then die, I don't give a crap about death. What is better? Live one year happily or a century in misery?

In fact, I was the most happy in my life when I was in love when I was about 14. However, it was without any visible result and it lasted for only a couple of months, but it was like a thousand of years to me. Now I see 9 years have passed like 1 day - empty and useless, and I don't want this crap to last any more.

Old as in geek terms or old as in regular people terms?

Old for geek is anything over 30. (that would be me)
Old for regular people would be anything over 60.

So what do you want to do with your life and why aren't you doing it right now?

Sounds like the God-shaped vacuum inside of you needs to be filled. You should pray and ask God to forgive you for your sins and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior by believing that He died on the cross, was buried and three days later, rose from the grave to save us from our sins. You should schedule a time to be baptized. You should get involved in a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching church and start living a life of obedience to God and His Word. That my friend, is where you'll find true happiness!
