C'mon, Yoda? Venkman? Really?

After reading Being and Nothingness I realized that all the excuses I make for myself are simply bad faith. This really changed the way I think about myself and my relation to the world around me. I am actually more free than I realize, if I choose to be.

More recently, someone asked me, "what are you searching for?" This wasn't exactly advice, but it made me think. What am I searching for? If I decide on a clear goal, I might just get what I'm searching for both in the short term and in the long term.
