skiing has taught me the answer to this.

never trying leads to regrets.

trying leaves you feeling satisfied. whether you stomped it or not.
 
anytime man. i read this and was just in a deep thought about my life after it. Is this really what i want with my life? Could i have changed?
 
wow .. i need to start doing more .. i love skiing but there is no way i can rember every trip i had

and im def going to the dew tour this weekend .. i was like idk its a long drive but fuck im going to rember that and forget about doing the smae thing every weekend
 
i lost most of my memory in 6th grade due to a bad concussion. i don't remember much at all from before that. it's definitely better to lose old ones. i don't remember my parents getting divorced whatsoever along with a lot more but with losing old memories you get to make more and while i can only look back on life to 6th grade i have everything that happened after that and i would much rather know what happened from then until now than to never remember again.
 
i feel like this if for people who have never thought deeply about themselves and the role they play in the world. take a philosophy class if you're interested in this sort of thing, or just indulge in copious amount ganja
 
exactly, especially now I am going through some stuff, and this opens more up to me. Yet I'm not sure how I will change from it
 
I think by mind fucked you mean deep thought. its on such a deep level that you dont know what your thinking. But your thinking. its confusing but makes sense to me.
 
i try to think like this all the time, but its cool to see it all laid out there. just straight up.
 
this is crazy, just reading these made me feel so much more alive, mad props who had the courage to right that
 
Damn, this is deep, but these are questions I often ask myself (or close). Help me plot my life, but a lot of these make me feel good, because I have said "fuck this, I'm doing what I want' and went for it, and it worked out.
 
"Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?"

I believe I have. I'm always there and willing to talk to a friend in need. And I always make sure that I am always there for them whenever they need someone to talk to.

 
well you don't know what it was that you forgot right, so how can you really know?
just wanted to point that out cause its funny but really i agree with you.
 
This is literally the shit I think about daily. Especially the "would you break the law to save a loved one?"

Fuck yes I would. Who makes laws? Other men. We give men the power to govern what we do. People say oh thats wrong because it's against the law. But it's against the law because a majority of people believe it's wrong. If you have a correct moral compass and you believe it is right, fuckin do it. Bottom line, it's your god damn life. Live YOUR life in order to make yourself happy. /rant
 
The compiled answers to these questions is a portion of what comes out of your mind on a mushroom trip
 
Exactly. After I tripped this summer I started thinking about a lot of things very similar to these questions. I think it makes you a better person because you learn a lot about yourself. Knowing yourself can lead a much happier, more fulfilling life.
 
This is amazingly ironic.. 2 nights ago I said fuck what I'm doing I don't want to live with regrets, told a bunch of people how I feel bout them and asked others for theirs of me, I just don't care anymore, somehow my mind already concluded that I'd rather fail trying that not try at all
 
Quality thread. ++k!

Know what you love and what make you feel good and happy and work hard to get it.
