Veh. Not telling.
Hm. Well, here goes.
~ Today is terribly terribly average. In fact, so was the day before and the day before that. Perhaps, it might be safe to predict tomorrow may be another average day.
Anyways, I keep on finding myself stuck in the same pit. I do not really care enough about something to care. Nothing seems new to me.

Have you ever had those days? What brings "a spark into your life"? (>.<)

I know the feeling. There's no point now in trying to find something that interests you, because nothing will. Just embrace the nothingness, enjoy not having to worry about anything, do something completely random that you've never done before. When I'm in these states I tend to walk a lot, I'll just spend a whole day aimlessly wandering around trying to get lost, you discover all these new places and new thoughts, it's very relaxing.

I just got out of the army, and my last year was extremely routine and average. Truth is, I miss it a lot. I miss just sitting around all day reading random crap on stumbleupon then wandering around in the middle of the night. I miss not having to look for a job and worrying about money and stuff. I miss living on autopilot.

Don't know if any of that what helpful, but I hope... I don't know, whatever. The main point is - embrace nothingness, embrace not giving a fuck about anything. Nihilism.

Where puppies and rainbows abound!
Oh yes, but nothingness is so dreary. Life offers so many opportunities for distraction. I'm not restricting the following advice only to people who share more of my own personality traits, but seeing as we're all human, apathetic, engrossed in a mind-numbingly monotonous lifestyle or otherwise, I shall share nonetheless!

Well, there are several pieces of advice I could give, my dear.
The first is buy a puppy. Very superficial, and it depends very much on the type of puppy. But puppies can be terribly fierce and excited and bothersome and shall keep your attention for long intervals of time -- or intervals in the form of short bursts -- if you let it.
Then again, this is dependent upon how much you care for this puppy. If you do not care for the poor little unloved creature, then we shall move onto the next piece of advice.

An old acquaintance of mine spoke to me about traveling and how he saw no use for it. His reasoning was that human nature was the same everywhere one went, and although the environment would be different, it would be still the same world, through and through. And thus boring, unexciting, and worthless trying to discover.
As the poster above me seems to have much more life experience than I when it comes to, well, anything really, I am hesitant to challenge his, very lovely, I must say, words to you. But I agree when he says that it's very nice to take walks places. As you're probably already aware of, things are happening all the time, new things, recycled things, mundane things, shocking things -- although sometimes there comes a point in your life where little can shock you -- and you may just come across either the latter or the former. It can be amusing, at least -- and I'll say this anyway despite my distaste for speaking about personality types too overtly -- to a Ne dominant, to watch life before your eyes unfold, to take it in, to analyze and learn, and then to reflect and return.
Or maybe don't return. Get lost and find yourself in a panic.
Panic brings about fear, which brings about rapid-fire problem solving, which brings about distraction!
And isn't living all about distraction?
Basically what I'm trying to say is that walks, daytime, nighttime, or travel anywhere to any place, whether it be new or old, although new is preferable, is a good idea.

Although I certainly still recommend the puppy.

^ Happiness is fleeting. One of the cruelest things you could do is buy a puppy for your apathetic unhappiness only to be bored with it a moment later, not to mention they don't stay puppies forever.


Have you ever had those days? What brings "a spark into your life"? (>.<)
Yes, everyday. I notice that whenever there is a "spark", I'm being physically active and/or spontaneous/impulsive, getting out in the world and doing stuff helps the apathetic inertia a lot.
