		<description>this is an encouraging post. I envy you for going past (or attempting to pass) the stage I am stuck in now.

Just two nights ago, I was thinking to myself and ranting within as to why I turned out so damn curious about everything. I wished I had been dumb and I wished I was so caught up in the rat race so I wouldn&#039;t be asking the big questions of our existence and what not . 

And I have been thinking very hard about overcoming this. I have restarted, for example, my old hobby of painting models, plan to have a beer, try a smoke, and relearning how to make websites...just to venture out. I want to break my self-important nihilistic attitude. I am getting sick of seeing everything through my cynical glasses.

It&#039;s very challenging though...I try to enjoy the moment and my cynicism comes right back out in force and I once again feel like &quot;oh what the fuck purpose does this serve&quot;...

But I remain hopeful. Now that I have realized what needs to be done, I feel c bit confident but it&#039;s going to be a very steep climb...atleast for me.</description>
