What keeps you moving forward?

[Desdichado]

Do I need one? I mean, honestly -- simply existing kinda sucks. It seems obvious to me that everyone would want to "live" and not "simply exist." What motivation or reason does there need to be other than it's obviously so much better that way?

So, what did I get banned for?

I mentioned this topic for a few reasons.

Initially I was moving forward to explore the world of writing.

Then I started to focus more on friends, up until that point I was still majorly solitary, but fairly popular.

When I was burned by my 'best friend', i kind of gave up for a while, stood still.

Then I moved onto that phase most people go through, seeking a girlfriend/love. That didn't pan out either.

Now i'm still in school, only it's Mt. Hood instead of David Douglas, and I have few real friends(hard to come by) and still no girlfriend after those last attempts. I still have my family, but I feel I need something, someone more...

Life is beautiful. What keeps me going is knowing that everything in my life is a gift from God. I shouldn't waste what's there, and I should do my best every day to make the lives of those around me, even those unaware of how blessed they are, a little better.
