Survival List

Think back, way back. Back to the time when you had the power to choose chocolate or vanilla and could take a poop by yourself. What made us happy back then? Think. We didn't have a care in the world. We didn't really need any sort of substance or tool to make us happy or put us in a good mood. Living was enough for us and from what I remember it was great. Fast forward to today. What do we have to do to make ourselves live? Sure we have more things to worry about than sitting in the dirt and getting bugs in our mouths. But has it really changed that much? I remember going to just walk around my house as a little kid and just being happy with looking around. Today I wonder if anyone else still does that. I go on a bike ride just about everyday and do the exact same thing. No iPod shoved in my ears, just the enjoyment of nothing. A great portion of people I know can only do that after they take some kind of hallucinogen. Yesterday we had fun just being in existence, now what makes us happy or occupies our time? Is it emptying bottles, getting a fix, or is it the person you had sex with recently that you never going to talk to again? Why do we need a substance to make things better? I don't use any substances to make myself feel better, happier, or alive. Your going to have to tell me.
