The next year of my life where I work a minimum wage job (overnight shift no less) to make ends meet while I finish the degree I should have had 2 years ago.

I'm escaping reality. Seriously, reality sucks. Have you seen it lately? Just a friggin fiasco that is.

Also, in reality you can't have an epic sword battle to this music.

I come to the Escapist to escape from boredom.

What? I'm allowed to not have a tragic background!

I'm escaping from my shitty loner childhood that still likes to make itself known and from my current situation where it seems like nothing ever goes right and I get the feeling I'm stuck where I am.

Fun times, fun times.

I'm on here procrastinating about sewing. But I have a lot to have done by next Sunday. So I should stop posting and start working.

I'm not sure I've got that much to complain about, but I'm a freshmen in college and FUCK is it hard. In high-school I didn't hardly have to do any studying at all. Now I have VERY quickly found out that if I don't study I am screwed.

edit: Also, don't EVER take a class at 8:00 in the morning when you always go to bed at 2:00 am. It will fuck you up

Loneliness, school, family. Pretty much everything has been said already. x3 Trying to not take my anxiety meds as much, it's been pretty rough.

a mundane life where I can't be immortal, have super powers, slay mythical creatures, solve every problem with a huge sword/blaster rifle, everyone doesn't look like perfection, true freedom and a good hat.

Real life and all of its mundanity, pretty much. What else is the internet for? It's something larger than life and therefore infinitely more interesting than what I experience in real life every day.

I'm escaping more or less, myself. Or rather the utter failure I seem to feel like these days. Got no goal in life nor do I know what should I do with my life. I mean I'm studying at a university, but that's only to get some education for a real job, any job, I feel like I'm doing this just becuase of my sense of duty and maybe pressure from society in general. Got some friends to hang out with sometimes, but never had a girlfriend...

All of this seems to be connected to my all around laziness and lack of motivation. It's like, the mind is weak so the flesh isn't willing either or something.

I mean, I see the normal life ahead of me: graduating, getting a job, perhaps a girfriend/wife, maybe getting kids, growing old and in the end, passing away as your crippled, sick body gives in, without really having done anything worthwhile. Depressing thought, these be.

Games and the internet provide a nice little distraction from this feeling of utter incompetence and meaningless existence, for now. Starting to get a bit worried on how I will end up doing in the end...

I hear ya. Sometimes I wonder what's the point in doing anything. It's not like anything I do will matter in the grand scheme of things.

My lack of motivation. I do a whole lot of different things, but don't currently have anything I'm passionate about. Currently I'm halfway around the world from home for 6 months to try to find myself. I'm still fluxing but had a bad session a few days ago where I felt seriously emotional.
