I have heard many times in the last two years since I have been here these words �I just exist�.

So do you feel that at times you just exist?

If so what would it take to make you feel more alive and give your life more meaning and why?





Right now I am just existing since I am recovering from a serious accident. I have been home for five months and will not be able to go back to work and start a normal life for another two months.

Unfortunately, I think all of us who are on this site need something more in our lives ..... that would be love, friendship, or the pursuit of a worthwhile goal. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be on this site.

When I am better I will get off this site and spend my time going to school in the evening and earning another degree. I will do this, not because I need another degree, but in the hope that I will make some more friends or even find a guy to date.

I don't believe that participating on these internet sites is a good thing to do unless one is in the same situation as me .... homebound because of one reason or another.

To do more than exist one needs to participate in life. That can be done by working, volunteering, or going to school. In other words, to do more than exist one needs to go out in the real world and interact with real people. Forget the internet where the liars and cheats abound, because let's face it. Neither you or I or anyone else is going to find a soulmate or a worthwhile friend on these sites.

I feel that I help others. I don't just exist. I'm here for those who need me to listen, need my advice, need my company, etc.

I can appreciate much of what you said BUT


I do happen to know several people who have found love on the internet. Not here, although some have, but I was mostly speaking of a widowed site I go to. You find people, as I'm sure you can relate, that understand certain things in your life and often that leads to more. I think that's a good thing. flowerforyou

To just merely exist is selling one's self short. Life has an abundance in offerings and challenges that can add many spices to one's life. be not to exist but to conquer. be not average but rather be extraordinary. Live to the fullest and remember.


Very well put my friend, there is so much out there that is offered to us we just must grab it and go with it.bigsmile

Yes, I do feel like I exist at times. It would take getting my life in order to make life more meaning.


At times we must sit down and write down what those things are and whittle at them one at a time. For nothing comes easy nor on its own. It is up to each of us to make those things happen.

All it takes is for us to see what it is we need.

Anybody can be sad
Can't see the good when it goes bad
Then you end up blue and through
But that's alright

Got my share of people love me
Got my share of problems that bug me
Every now and then it's hard
But that's alright

How many times have we been here before

When you're walking down the street
Feel the rhythm in your feet
All life that's rushing by
Aren't you glad to be alive?

Nothing ever goes as planned
Get your head out of your hand
Scream and shout like you were five
Aren't you glad to be alive!!!!

Sometimes you gotta sneak in the back door
You don't always get what you ask for
What you need you got inside
And that's alright

How many times have you been here before
So pick your sorry ass up off the floor

When you're walking down the street
Feel the rhythm in your feet
All life that's rushing by
Aren't you glad to be alive?

Nothing ever goes as planned
Get your head out of your hand
Scream and shout like you were five
Aren't you glad to be alive!!!!

So that's my story
So sad but true
For those that know me
What else did you think I'd do?
