ExpandScores Breakdown )

According to the score I received freshman year, my life has gone downhill. Sadly, I'm inclined to agree-- though perhaps not to the extent it suggests in some of those areas. (My body's the only thing doing better, and I suppose that's viably true; I exercise now as I did not back then).

The really sad part is I think that's totally accurate about the spirituality-- that it's been practically halved. When I thought about death before last year, it usually involved some sort of hopeful, rewarding afterlife or reincarnation. Now, when I think about death, I think of just the absence of everything-- and for some reason that doesn't bother me, it almost sounds better. Yet the fact that I do see it that way sort of does /-: because I think it makes me less hopeful, more nihilistic, and more stressed as my life feels more grounded in the present-- like this is all there is, so I better find all that I've ever desired because I only have so long and there will be no other chance, and no reward for having given up anything for any other purpose. (My "Life" score breakdown even suggests that I take this outlook!). I don't want to turn selfish like that.
