What I don't want

Mercury

I find it easier to know what I don't want from life.

I don't want to live in the same place forever and be constantly reminded of bad memories.

I don't want children, as an autistic guy I know the loneliness, pain and apathy and won't want to pass it on, besides the state of the world.

I don't want to be exploited, an honest, diligent and helpful person can easily be taken advantage of.

  • I think it's often easier to know what we don't want rather than what we do want, especially if you're not a goal driven person and don't have a particular ambition.

    I squandered two decades of my life by not having goals or ambitions.

    Have you squandered two decades not having goals or ambitions? I've tied myself in knots over the years, mostly at the behest of others, who think I should have goals and ambitions and who try and push me down a path they believe is suitable. I've done a lot of different things in my life, most of them unplanned, they've just sort of happened organically, much to the despair of job coaches or anyone else like that who can't cope with career tangents rather than ladders or whatever.

    I think free yourself from the impossition of goals and ambitions, if they're not for you then they're no for you, people will freak out, but so what, let them, this is your life, not thiers, live as you see fit.
