Happiness.

That’s what everyone wants in this life. Happiness. So that must be the meaning of life. To be happy.

I believe this is wrong. We are not all “trying to be happy”. We are all trying to feel something. Feeling every range of emotion during our life is what the purpose is.

We are meant to feel sorrow and misery. But that is because we are able to feel joy and love. We can’t have one...

“Damnit!” I wake up and jump out of bed. I’m late, AGAIN. I’m definitely going to get fired this time.

My feet hit the ground. Hmmmm, I must have left my clothes on the floor last night. I scampered over to the wall to flick on the switch in my tiny little studio apartment. What usually takes 5 tiny steps is taking an eternity. My outstretched hand keeps feeling for the wall in the darkness.

Well, to be honest, I don’t think I know a thing about life. Life doesn’t know much about me either.

I’m still trying to figure out how to live and what it all is even about.

I don’t think I’m the appropriate person to give advice in this case, but to be fully frank, I don’t really believe anyone is.

Maybe this it’s what it’s all about, the process of trying to figure out what makes your life ...

“Shit, what is happening?”

“Now let’s have Mister Smith come in front and give us his idea of the meaning of life.”

“Who the heck is Mister Smith?”

“Hey, is your turn to speak go.” I guy seated by my side.

“What do mean?” I asked confused.

I was in my bed… why am I here? What is happening?

“C’mon Sir, we’re waiting for you!”

“Shit, shit, shit,” I said as I stood.

“Round of applause f...

I few days ago my middle school ex texted me. We broke up on weird terms because we both realized we liked the opposite gender . Before we broke up i asked him a similar question to this.

It was something similar to: what would you do if we switched bodies?

His answer is one of the sweetest things someone said to me

I can’t tell you exactly what he said but i can tell you the warmth i felt

He s...

You don’t have to be alive. This is true.

Tomorrow, you could wake-up, and choose to end it.

Never forget this.

Because this is not depressing, but instead freeing.

You’re choosing to be alive. You’re choosing to be here.

So if you are going to be here, why not enjoy it? Why not make the most of it?

But what does it mean to then enjoy it? To make the most of it?

You must first reject in...

This morning things were a little different, Okay, a lot different. I opened my eyes to sunlight streaming through what should have been my slightly opened blinds. I stretched, yawned, and reached for my phone. While kicking my legs over the side of what should have been my tall bed. Unable to find my phone, I then realized my bed was not where it was the night before. Instead of on its frame, a f...

Greetings ladies and gentlemen,

The meaning of life…. wow in all my years as a philosopher I never thought this out of all things would have me stuck haha. You wanna know what I think is funny? Is the fact that we all ask ourselves this question as if there’s a clear answer. it’s the curiosity and the fact that we’re so driven to knowing meaning of things instead of just enjoying it. A friend h...

Groups of students, faculty, and family are seated in front of me. They wait in silence for me.

I have no idea what happened. Two minutes ago I was walking my dog around the park. But now I’m supposed to deliver a speech in front of the graduating class.

“Mrs. Rey? Your speech, the meaning of life?” A woman says as she tiptoes toward the podium.

“Oh, yes, sorry,” I say. I adjust the microphone an...
