I'm a senior in college and will be graduating this may (fingers crossed)
Anyways, I've spent the last 4 years really trying to become this amazing person. I've worked out hardcore and gotten into really good shape. I've tried my hand at standup comedy 9 times in the past year. I've always admired standup comedians like jerry Seinfeld, Louis ck, and brain Regan and in the back of my mind I still think I have what it takes to become a great standup comic. Anways, I've tried very hard to be social. I've approached, easily, over 150 girls, gotten a bunch of phone numbers, and a few dates. However, I guess I'm pretty bitter about the whole dating thing right now. Most girls, KEY WORD *MOST, I didn't say all, aren't worth the time of day. But that's a whole other post.
My question is this: is all of this worth it? The working out, eating a healthy diet, doing standup comedy, etc., etc.
I mean I look at this guy:
sure he’s not the most handsome dude ever, that's saying it nicely, and sure he probably doesn't get out much, needs to lose some weight, etc., etc., BUT he appears so **** happy in this video. Even if it's only his movie collection, he's still excited about something in life.
And that brings me to the big question: Is there something to be said about the simple life? I mean yea I want to be a standup comedian but it feels like so much work. I've only done well on stage TWICE but the two times I did well I felt amazing, like a king, the best I’ve ever felt. EVER. However, when I did bad I felt pretty sh it ty. Same thing with working out. I like how my body has been transformed over the past 3 years but deep inside I’m not really happy. I've been eating a very strict, healthy diet and yes I look good with my shirt off by I’m not happy. Is there something to be said about the guy in this video? Has he got it all figured out?
Same thing with girls. I’ve approached a lot of them, dated some of them, kissed a few of them, and even had sex. But deep down I’ve never been with someone who I connected with. I LONG so bad to meet a girl who I can just be my god **** self with. Maybe that makes me sound like a pussy but I don't care.
I’m sick of being someone I’m not. I miss the old me. I look in the mirror and see a worn out, unhappy, 22 year old. All my best friends from high school and people who know me well tell me I’m the funniest person they know. Why do I have such a gloomy outlook on life? Why has this melancholy struck me so harshly? Perhaps the simple life is the way to go. Maybe I should eat pizza and cheesecake every day and start a big as s movie collection. Maybe that's the key. I'm being serious about this. Maybe happiness is found within yourself and not in caring what others think
I don't know....I just don't know.
