Get A Life

Ya know often times we hear the phrase " Go Get A Life" and looking back, well that's pretty messed up to tell someone. i mean not only is it rude it's incorrect because you're telling them to get a life when you don't know this person. You're saying it in a way to discredit their lives compared to yours. So let's just get into it yea?

Having a " Life" is subjective. what you may view and enjoy about life may be completely different to someone else. For example. if a guy goes to anime conventions with his friends, and he runs into someone not at the con, but just out and about and they comment " You need to get a life" Now lets give a little backstory, this person travels and goes to night clubs and parties on the regular. But they look down on someone else because in their eyes his life is not as of value or as exciting as theirs.

So think about it like this. Maybe that person doesn't like to travel that much, but rather enjoys a small group of friends and kicking back telling jokes and having friendly banter. That may be their peak of fun and they may enjoy that more than what it is you do. Now i need to say this, not that what you may do isnt appealing, however you need to look at it from the point of " what works for A may not work for B. We are all special little snowflakes, and saying this we need to realize we all process things differently. Take me for example!

I've done quite alot in my life i've traveled all over the U.S. going to cons with friends, and on the other side of the coin i've done the night club scene, the house parties, the bars. as well as the Late night netflix and chill to the grab a group of friends and watch anime talk trash and eat pizza. For me the best times of my life were just hanging out with friends not a large group but just a few watch some anime debate and just talk trash and play video games til we pass out. Not to say the parties weren't fun, they just weren't fun enough for me to keep doing it. However there will be people that enjoy that and that is their life.

Life is subjective and it has a powerful meaning. What's the meaning of life you ask? Well i actually have the answer for you. and the answer may be not as grand as you think.

The meaning of life is to find meaning in life. Find what you enjoy, what makes YOU smile what makes YOU laugh, dont worry about what everyone else wants you to do. What may seem like amazing night to them may seem like a troublesome waste of time for you. Invest your time into something you find passion in, find a hobby, hone your craft, master your skill. Do what you must but dont ever let someone tell you to " Go Get A Life" because if they are saying that, they just need validation for their own. And fuck those people we don't like those people.

has this ever happened to you? what is " life" for you? what do you enjoy doing. Let's chat!

 

in my experience 9/10 it doesn't come from a place of criticism. i've never once seen that be the case. But that's an interesting take on it.

 

It's an opinion but that doesn't make it ok to say that to someone. it's still subjective.

 

everyone has a right to their own opinion. at least in america. i'm just telling people that you don't have to always listen to that opinion. you can shape your own life how you want it regardless of someones opinion or not. That's one thing i learned in college that i'll carry with me for my entire life.

At the end of the day people will do whatever it is they want to do, regardless of you tell them otherwise. it's up to them to choose.
