Lately I've been thinking alot about life.. and I've been asking myself questions. "What is the point of it all?" "Why are we here?" "What are we chasing?" I watch people doing everyday things, going to the store, stopping by the bank, grabbing a bite to eat, enjoying time with their family. There are so many things we do everyday. My big question is..Why?
I've thought about it alot, and have realized that there is no one answer. These aren't questions that will be the same for everyone. They will interpret and answer them differently. Always. Some people will say their family. Others will say their job, or friends. Whatever it may be, it's always something that keeps us striving to be our best. We all have a reason on this earth, what mine is I can't say. I don't think any of us can, and I think very little of us ever will know. So, in the end, it doesn't matter how hard I try to think of a universal answer. There isn't one. All I can do is find the answer that suits me.
What would it be, you say?
What keeps me going is my family and friends. I love them more than I could ever explain. They are my world, and I'm very thankful I have such wonderful people in my life at this moment. I believe what we are chasing is love and happiness, in any shape or form. Some may be out there seeking a lover, their "better half". Some may want more affection from their family, whether it be you parents, aunts, uncles, brothers, or sisters. I also believe that you can't go through life with regrets. Everything you did is what you wanted at the time, so don't be ashamed. You have to leave the past behind you. Sure, you can look back now and then, just don't dwell on things you wish you could change. My last piece of advice would be, out of everything I've said, the simplest. Live, laugh and love. I know, it sounds cliche, but its so true, and it holds alot of meaning. I try to remember that every day when I wake up and every night before I go to sleep. That's all for now, thanks for taking time to read all of this.

edit: I guess it's best not to over-analyze things. Like hieu said, life isn't really something that should be figured out..we should just live and let live..and I think I've just realized that for myself..Thank you, Hieu. 
Ok, that really is it..for now
