Existentialism – A Definition
Existentialism in the broader sense is a 20th century philosophy that is centered upon the analysis of existence and of the way humans find themselves existing in the world. The notion is that humans exist first and then each individual spends a lifetime changing their essence or nature.
In simpler terms, existentialism is a philosophy concerned with finding self and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility. The belief is that people are searching to find out who and what they are throughout life as they make choices based on their experiences, beliefs, and outlook. And personal choices become unique without the necessity of an objective form of truth. An existentialist believes that a person should be forced to choose and be responsible without the help of laws, ethnic rules, or traditions.

That is from my hands. I wrote it last night. True Existential angst.

YOU WROTE THAT!?
woooowww! that's amazing! you're a good writer!
what is it supposed to mean exactly?
As far as what?
as far as what- what?
You asked what it was supposed to mean. What did you get out of it, and what didn't you get?
well, at the end, did she kill herself? why?
I suppose it's rather ambiguous. I would rather you answer those questions on your own, but it's more of a slumber. Heaven is a world in her head.
yeah, i don't get it :S
What is there to get really?
lol, the story :D
i think if it wasnt for existential angst, rock n roll wouldnt be what it is today
Gimme some Dostoyevski anyday!
Soren,Kierkegaard and Camus are delicious as well:).
Stop the world I want to get off
You can still get off. Since the world and you are moving, it feels as if the world is not moving. Thus you should have no problem jumping, and be satisfied that you will fall straight down.
