Have you ever just sat down and thought "why am I here? Why are the things happening to me happening to me?" or "Was I made to be great, or just die alone?" I have asked myself these questions a million times over, and my answer changes every time. It seems like almost nothing goes in my favor, like the world works against me sometimes. I know that secrets get out and all of that, but what if there isn't enough time for it to get out? Was it just not meant to be? Or did I just make the wrong move and sent it all off course? Nobody will most likely ever read this, heck, I might not ever read this again myself! But just stop and think sometimes- "Why am I here?"

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
In my experience, asking yourself 'Why am I here?' too much can turn out to be fairly depressing. You might consider the fact that we are just ants on a flying piece of rock living a limited lifetime and then passing on the baton to the next generation of ants. There's nothing special or spiritual about that fact, hence the answer to that question might very well be 'you're just a product of chance', or something to that effect.
I feel like what you have described here is something everyone thinks and/or feels every now and then. And it's fine to question stuff as long as it doesn't get to you personally.
The paragraph was written well, too bad it was just a single paragraph. however. If you can consider this premise, surely there's more you think about. Write that down as well!
Good job, well done.
Hello there! cleverclogs here for a Review Day review!


First of all, this isn't really a short story. It's not really anything in particular. In fact, it's exactly what the title says it is: Thoughts. Which makes me think that this would be better as a blog post. But you've posted it, so here I am to review it.
I don't really like how this is one big 'ol paragraph. It's a little bit confusing to read, and it's not very visually appealing either. I recommend breaking it up a little to make it easier to read.
Next, I'm pretty sure that everyone has these thoughts sometimes. I certainly do. I like how you've put into words what everyone can relate to. I'm sure that so many people have read it and let out a sigh of relief that they're not alone.
I know that this isn't anything in particular, but it's closest to poetry from what I can tell. This is just something to consider, but maybe you should try experimenting with putting these thoughts into stanza form. Poetry is an emotional outlet (and so is all writing, but poetry is more so than prose), so it makes me think that your worries would suit a poem well. I'd like to see what you could do with this in a poem.
Your grammar was great. I didn't catch any typos or the like, so either you're great at writing perfectly on the first try, or you edited this very well. I'm thinking it's the former, given the nature of this poem.
Overall, this was interesting and relatable to read, but I'm curious to see what else you could do with it. Keep on writing!
You're not alone. It's like this never-ending dark hole that you can get lost in if you're alone and you think about it too much. I've found that conversing and helping others helps me feel less alone and that alleviates the question of Why Am I Here?
We call this an Existential Crisis buddy. And, no, no I haven't. I find this is more of an atheistic thing, and I'm not an atheist so I don't really go through that.

As for why you're here? In my opinion? To help others out, to give them a hand up when they've fallen down. To make someone laugh after they've had a crappy day. You did this by publishing this work, letting me vent a little, and giving me something a bit more fun and different to review. That's your good mark of the day.
But what do I know?
-I just realized this was a short story, not an essay, I'm keeping my review because it was fun to write and I like it, but don't take it too seriously seeing as this was a work of fiction.-
This is literally me every day of my life. Description is incredibly intriguing, and only succeeded in furthering my curiosity. This is most probably an entirely pointless review but hey ho. Extremely captivating, good job on this one.
G'day
Aha! Nire here, dude!
Why should i not read this?
I should. I should.
Okay, here to review o'course!
Let's dooooo itttttt!
Thoughts! Good title, interesting, i mean. I always start with titles, never mind. And, your concept is awesome, i feel. Most general questions asked in philosophy, or frequent, if you prefer.
I believe i should answer to your first question, firstly. YES, YES OH YES, I HAVE. IT IS MORE LIKE, I ALWAYS DO THIS. AND IT IS GOOD TO THINK THIS WAY, TRUST ME.
It is pretty complicated, i agree.
WHY WE ARE HERE. WHY ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO US. WHO ARE WE MEANT TO BE.
It is obvious that you won't get all the same answers over and over again. I am studying psychology and believe me, we never feel the same about SAME THINGS. Emotions, you know? It depends on that.
While i was reading it, i thought, you need few inspirational words and all that? So, shall we? Do not worry. You will feel good.
If something's happening which you don't like, you can't really just change it but what you can do is, understand this perhaps? Try to learn from it? If that is hard, it is better to just stay away. And never worry about that, who are you meant to be. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY MEANT TO BE SOMEONE. It isn't bad if that someone's YOU. Not everyone becomes great. But, doesn't mean our lives are worthless. It is grand itself if you are just you.
Don't worry for things you can't change. Sometimes, it's better to let things go.
And, thinking about who you are, indicates you are really special. In this age of confusion and stupidity (which is good too xD) not many of us have the time to think.
Wishing you a great thinking m'friend! And,
XD
You should fix the first line
And, sorry if i irritated you with my review.
Good day!
Good thinking!
Good time!
Cheers, Nire.
