I don't care to try to come up with a poignant title

What's the point of making an effort to do something wonderful for yourself if there's just a sense of let-down afterwards? Is it actually good for you at all?

I have a midterm tomorrow that I haven't studied for. I need to start studying for these things. And I say that after each one and nothing changes.

At what point do you quit? What makes you decide "this isn't for me"? What makes you decide "this is for me"? Maybe those questions have nothing to do with each other

Why is the excitement about a thing always better than the thing itself? Or is that just for me?

Am I alone or I am just exactly the same as everyone else, no better, no worse...not special?

I want to run away. I'm not even sure what I want to run away from or where I want to go. I just want to run away from everything.

Why? Why not? What's the point, the reason, the why?

Doesn't make sense to you? Me neither.

Well, I don't have much to add to that. But I can tell you what made me decide that this wasn't for me. Mostly it was the having to force myself to do the bare minimum, even though that isn't enough to make me happy about how I'm doing. It was also really not being engaged in anything I was learning - there's more out there that I find a lot more interesting and awesome, so I decided to get the fuck out before it was too late. Life is too short to wonder where you belong, so you might as well find something that makes you happy, and let your place find you.

If anything, there is no why and you just have to do what's right for you, whatever that may be.

Just my 2 cents, since I've been asking many of the same questions lately.

PS - this is completely unrelated, but the title on your sidebar gets cut off to be "I don't care to try to come up with a poignant tit..."
