The Guidebook to Life

It's wonderful having someone to talk to when you need help. It doesn't have to be one person either, I have more than one person that I go to when I need advice on something, because you more often than not need more than one opinion on something before you can decide what path is correct for you. There is no guidebook on life, so actually no one knows what the hell they are doing ever. Sometimes I fumble with decisions in life and have NO idea what I need to do in order to straighten myself out. Sometimes I think that I cant get myself through with my own perseverance, and have no problem at all, but others I need a second opinion. There is never just one way to go throughout life either, there is more than one path in every possible scenario, but what matters is who helps you get there and who sticks with you no matter what path you choose to follow. There aren't always very clear paths either, most of the time it's a trial and error process that one must go through in order to get the best result, because the first path you choose won't always be the best one, and it's not always the path that is going to bring you to success.
I have just recently learned that life doesn't have a blue print, and you don't have to follow a particular path. You can do anything you want. You don't have to go to college, you don't have to drink milk at dinner and you definitely don't have to listen to what your boss says at work. However, some decisions are better than others, yes the answer is d) all of the above are the better choices... unless your boss asks you to do something you probably shouldn't do.
But what is the point in choosing a path?
There is no point because you don't have to choose a path. There is no straight shot to where you will be in 20 years, but there are choices that can be made by you that lead you to precisely around where you may see your self, notice that I didn't say accurately, mostly because there is not accurate way to end up where you want, unless you wanted to be a bum, which in that case throw out your computer and just walk somewhere, sleep there overnight for the rest of your life, but bring a cup for some change so when you collect enough you can buy yourself some cheap vodka.
Live day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, unpredictably...  because that is what life is. Just when you think it's going all well, something goes haywire, like your car breaks down and costs a shit load of money, which really sucks because that happened to me this summer... well it didn't break down. I needed new tires and ended up getting just that, but with two tire rods as well because they were "loose." Hey mechanics need more money somehow... and I'm not just saying they scammed me out of money, because they probably did, but everyone needs something to survive. I'm not one to complain though because I, just like all of you, need to survive too.
But some people do complain, which is kind of annoying. Some people sit at lunch and make fun of the large headphones that another person they don't know is wearing, or about how clumsy someone is, when they actually aren't. "Why are you going to get a coffee mug like that? You're bound to drop it." Some people just complain to make themselves feel better. And that's ok with me, but you should probably just keep it to yourself because it's kind of frustrating when people that don't know others insult them. But whatever right? I'm complaining right now, mostly because I don't believe anyone is going to take this seriously, because it's half serious anyways. It doesn't matter one way or another, or it shouldn't anyways, about what other people say. We're just people, we're not supposed to act any particular way, and it's not like we read that imaginary guidebook, because there is none. No one knows how to act in any situation, people just handle things the way they think they should. It's not like we can get mad about them, because you'd probably of done the same thing. It's hard to say what you would have done in a situation you just witnessed, because you weren't in it. I mean, it's perfectly fine to think about it to maybe better prepare yourself for it, but if it ever comes are you going to remember how to act? Probably not. Same goes for me. I'm no superhuman, this is all my opinion, it's not like I actually know if any of this shit is true... and as far as I'm concerned it's not. This is all something that I just thought of like 10 minutes ago, just random thoughts for the day.
I'm trying, myself, to live day to day, minute to minute.
