No matter how much I plan, or how careful I am, life always throws me curveballs that ruin my plans and make it pointless. Regardless of what I do my life always goes to shit.
Planning is pointless since life doesn't care about your plans.
Fuck my life.
"Life is what happens to us while we're making other plans."
Sometimes it's stuff we find enjoyable, and sometimes it's stuff we find painful, but the truth is that nobody has total control over what happens to them. The only thing you do have some control over is how you chose to respond to what happens to you. If you decide to give up, go off to the woods, find a cave and crawl into it to wait for death, you're free to do that, but you might consider that you'll then be ensuring that nothing positive can ever happen to you. If you decide it's all hopeless and you chose to see only the negatives in the stuff that happens to you, then your life will go into a downward spiral of negativity.
For me planning has always felt a little too much like trying to predict or control the future. You're right, life doesn't care about our plans and most of the time it seems like life enjoys shitting all over them. Still, planning can be useful. Life is like being on a rowboat in the ocean. You have to point your boat somewhere but no matter how hard you row in that direction the current is going to take you wherever it damn well wants. Who knows where you'll end up. Just enjoy the ride, I guess.
Life in general is pointless. You can either make the best of it. Or you can do what you seem to be doing and whine about it like a pathetic idiot. Your choice.
