You are a beautiful soul. Stay open, be in the present.....be you.... and radiate that energy......smile. You never know when you will meet that special person. I have no doubt they are looking for you right now.......

Hello random human, let's talk. LOL.

No seriously though, I too enjoy these wonderful things in life. Deep, intellectually stimulating conversation on late nights is the way to go. Partying and surface connection can't beat the authenticity of anything emotional. It's hard to find people willing to truly connect on that level but they're out there. As far as music and art, luckily that's a solitary activity, so you can have that at least! Venture away!

And I hope you find the people that make your soul sing.

Work, university, student loans, mortgages. .. it burnt us out. Turned us into working zombies

Stop drinking and start living. Only you can meet new people who aren't partying all the time.

Have you considered spawning a small humanoid? Nothing spells raw emotion like a miniature puke and feces explosion machine.

Oh man those sound like wonderful things! You should go for them! I bet you could find someone to talk all night about dreams/ambitions/inspiration. After all, you seem to know that that can happen already ;-)

Those people exist. Probably a few of them in the commenters above. I remember it being especially hard to find in Vancouver though, and it gets harder and harder to find the older you get. Sometimes these people fall out of our lives for whatever reason, so when you recognize one grab on, and hope they see it too.

We get it: you hate children (and somehow believe this makes you so superior). Now, maybe you can stop obsessing about it, and not bring it up all the time in unrelated conversations (confessions).

By all means seek people who inspire you. But be weary of expecting other people to fill your cup.
