I Have a Desire to Lead One Very Crazy Life

My Philosophy.

By: AlaSTARman
Written on December 18th, 2007
Ever since I was really young, I've thought of myself as a child of destiny.  That may seem like an egotistical thing to say, but it's the truth.  I don't think of it as such a bad thing to say anyway, since life is a total waste if you don't do all you possibly can with it.

Being open-minded to new experiences and seizing every opportunity have been my two constant objectives since forever ago.  Sometimes I get the chance to do something I know I'll never get a chance to do again, so I do it without thinking twice.  Consequences be damned.

If you're here, you probably agree that this is a healthy way to live your life in the long run.  One of my main goals in life is to learn and grow as best I can as a person, and I learn best through experience, personally.  Particularly those experiences that are unique, spontaneous, and a little bit crazy.  Sure, living that way it's pretty possible that you're gonna die...but at least that way you die with your heart pounding the way it should.

    Each new day brings me new changes, experiences, different meaning to previous beliefs about something, and crazy ideas .. most of them a fantasy and just as well, the other ones? Time will only tell. Keeping an open mind is wise but can be challenging at times.

    Is there any other way to live? Not for me. Being crazy, spontaneous and experimental has given me a wealth of experience and has made me more open-minded and accepting of all sorts of people. There are a couple of downsides to living life in such a way: we happen to live in a world filled with quite dull people, so it is a little challenging to find people to take part in adventures. Then, the more I see and experience, the more distant I feel the world to be, that is my truth. In their 20s everyone is a little crazy and experimental. Now it can feel lonely to be talking to someone about, say, sharing a whiskey bottle at 4am in New Zealand with drag queens (true story) and people find it amusing for a second but then start talking about their kids or something. No disrespect, I want a kid someday too. All I'm saying is, there are millions of people with kids, and a small handful of people who do stuff like having whiskey with drag queens in New Zealand at 4am. Get what I'm saying? So, feels a little lonely at times. But there are also upsides to living life in this way: the incredible richness and wisdom I acquire, and the fact that my experiences can give others wings to try stuff too.
