i know 4 friends who choose to leave this life earlier than normal and they might have taken the easy way out but they're probably free from all this chaos we call life.
Free from the chaos, sure, but they will also never see their kids grow up, their nieces and nephews turn into whatever they turn into, they'll never see another sunrise, they'll never hear their favorite song again, and they will never see the waves crashing on the beach again. Be careful not to glorify their exits.
As far as the original post is concerned:
My family (especially watching my niece and nephew grow up)
My girlfriend
Music
Concerts
PJ tours
Playing guitar
Reading
Skiing
Golf
Road trips
Hanging out until the early morning with good friends, drinking beers and talking
Guinness
Wine
Spicy food
Sushi
Pool
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
For me its music. its the reason I get out of bed. It comforts me. It soothes. It energizes. It blows my mind. I can go to a concert, and after it feel like I witnessed some religious experience, like it was life affirming. It gives my life purpose. It is everything. I am a straight edger and think that without music my life would be a worse wreck than it currently is (I am in the middle of a Quarter life crisis, trying to find myself and purpose).
this is such a cute post. no offense, but i remember being your age and actually thinking i had to figure it all out NOW. trust me, you need a few more years under your belt, then you're allowed to have a "crisis".
i get out of bed every day between 6:30 and 7:30am because my toddler wakes me up. and then i need to send my older son off to school. then i get the baby dressed & fed and to the sitter's. then i go to work (i do listen to music on the way). then i do my job, which i really enjoy, then i leave, pick up the midget, go home and start dinner. then i enjoy the evening with my guys- the kids & my husband. we get everyone bathed & we hang out a while, then get the kids to bed and have some grownup time. then we crash.
so, i guess i'd say my children & husband are my impetus to get my arse outa bed everyday. oh, and the knowledge that life is a glorious gift, to be opened again and again, every day.

Live it, you don't really have all that much control over it. Just give your 110%, because thats all you can do. I don't think anyone here can give you the path your looking for. All I know is in my 25 years, I've tried a couple of them, and none of them turned out to be what I wanted. I wouldn't change the past even though I'm currently starting all over again, and all that effort wasn't wasted. I value the experiences for what they were.....my life.
There is no path, destiny, or plan.....the important part is you and what you get from it.

Seriously, get that recorded and mixed properly.

the only thing I need to keep me going is my family. I have 3 daughters and a husband that I am the sole financial provider for. Luckily for me, I love my job!

Ok then.....
Then you should just wear your sunglass all the time and tell people you don't play by their "rules". Punch a couple of people in the face now and again to get your point across.
But I can't tell you how to be a bad ass......you just live it.
Music for sure! PJ in particular. Can't do without it. Also, my husband, duh, and exercise.
