After the last post managed to get a strong enough response from anonymous viewer (which is cool, spooky, and conserning all at the same time), I am going to avoid talking about my life in the past week and instead... um...Oh who am I kidding? Apparently I lack the ability to construct a fair opinion using words.
Besides, I've got exams coming up anyway. I could use the extra time.
So to whoever it was, if you are reading, I can't tell whether your comment was constructive or not, but you know how to make someone's morning less happy using the internet.
I'm stepping off the soapbox while I recollect myself.

Louis, if you re-read my comment and consider the points I raised, I'm sure you'll find that it was not meant in any way to be a personal attack of any kind and the intention of it was to be purely constructive.
I sought to alert you to the close minded approach with which you appear to regard both yourself and your peers. Your prejudices and preconceptualized views on the lifestyles and choices of others restrict the valuable experiences and enjoyments of life.
Understand that I'm not advocating that you transform your character and who you are. What I'm trying to convery, is that perhaps you open your mind and reconsider the black and white approach you view things with.
If you choose to believe that my comment was left in an attempt to offend you or some other form of derogatory remark, I fear you'll become defensive about the issue as this post would seem to indicate, retreating and thus failing to consider and truly reflect on what I wrote.
I stand by everything left in the previous comment, what you choose to take from it is up to you.
After a day of work I came back and realised I may have overreacted a bit (as I tend to sometimes), and you certainly do raise a point.
I realise I can be quick to judge people, I do not know for certain whether my mindset has been this way for a little or a long time, and I hope to try and avoid making harsh assumptions like these in the future.
It would be helpful (if possible) to know what I could do to improve my outlook, as I prefer to follow instructions than make my own.
I still intend to take a short break from posting, firstly for study/exam purposes; secondly, to reflect on what you have said and come up with content that is less controversial.
Thank you for not making your comments derogatory, seeing that they were not meant to offend makes me feel better. I understand that you wish to remain anonymous, but would it at all be possible to share which country you are from, at least?
I hope I have picked up what you are trying to say, and hopefully it will reflect on what I post on this blog in the future.
Thank you again, whoever/wherever you are.
I went to school with you.
For what it is worth Louis, I think anonymous cares about you and wants you to have a more fulfilling, happier and richer life (richer in the sense of contentment not financially). All the comments were just around how you see the world only one way and pour scorn on others who are not the same as you. You make these views very publicly known. It will be a magnificent thing if you can take on board any of these anonymous views and open your mind a little to the greatness of other people who are different to you (as most are). Don't be defensive or punitive - just take it as I think it was meant - well meaning.
Louis, I belive that we can never fully get what we want in life. Hell I've worried if I have wasted my life even though I am relatively young.
Buck up an remeber these two things:
"That no life lives forever
That dead men rise up never
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea"
and MY personal philosophy (that I barley follow if the strech marks on my face are any indication):
Smile! You'll live longer
