Do I not take life seriously enough?
So, everyone who reads this probably knows that I've got a really relaxed view of life in general. I try not to stress about stuff, and I relax about things that keep other people from sleeping at night.

It seems like quite a few (read: most) of my friends have journal entries complaining about life, while mine are stuff like, "I went out with all my friends today and we had loads of fun..."

I mean, to use loomis as an example...
(hope you don't mind loomis- I'm using you because you're not normally mopey... and also because most people who read this don't know you)
(also, if you do mind, just send a message and i'll remove)

"life is blah. shit has happened. whatever. school sucks. being grounded sucks. i feel like no one loves me. my parents a forever pissed at me. so yea. im not sad but im not happy. i just blah. if you see me at school give me some love. i need it. well i should go."

I mean, from a perfectly logical point of view, none of those things about not being loved is true.  Of course he's loved, he's got friends, his parents DON'T hate him, (they are, after all, his parents) and after a day or so, he realized it.

So, I'm asking all of you in general...

Do I not take life seriously enough? Is it that I don't have as much bad crap happen to me? Is it just that I don't complain about it?

Also, I hope I haven't offended any of you with my talking about your posts or something...

No way dude. Don't take life too seriously, or you'll never get out alive.
I admit to mostly writing in my journal when bad things happen and I should write more about the good things. It just helps me deal with bad things when I write. I don't write about good things because I have work and shit to do. When I'm all pissed off, I can't get anything done anyway, so I spend the time to fix it. Get the picture? So don't assume that we're taking life too seriously. Keep on rolling with the punches like you are, and life will be a blast.

oh no, Loomis is telling you to teach him how to relax? I thought he was relaxed already! Man, campared to me at least he is. Maybe i'm the one who needs lessons. Hey, I gave up worrying for Lent. Crazy huh? Yeah, i think i'm gonna need to invest in those lessons...
Anywho, I think maybe the reason you find so many people writing sad, mopey, depressed stuff is cuz that's what a journal's for! I don't write in my journal unless i have something i need to vent about, one of the reasons i dont' make it public is that i would definitely seem too childish if someone only judged me based on my journal. I don't think you're too relaxed about life. I think you're pretty healthy, and heck if you don't have soppy journal entries, maybe that means you don't have anything to vent about? Maybe you just handle that stuff in another way...Well, kudos for not worrying. Keep up the healthy outlook on life, Jim!
