I’m sorry you feel like this and it makes me sad we live in a world where many people do feel like this. I think the problem is when you only have yourself to rely on and there is no “cushion”. Everything seems to be set up for wealthy people now who can pick and choose what path they follow
“At least you have work ethics and dedication, demonstrating your commitment to improving your life. I know you feel upset by life, but try to make the most of the present. Sometimes, it’s hard to envision a future, but remember that you still have your two legs & arms, mental well-being, and experience in the present moment. Use this experience to make better decisions. Another piece of advice is to focus on health and longevity, which for me is primarily a motivation when facing setbacks and failures in life.”
You’re working to survive, take a break if you can. Go do something you haven’t done before, experience something new. Life is stale for you right now because it’s just been survival mode for you. Enjoy life right now, not tomorrow but right now. So see a movie, fall asleep watching the movie. Just get out, it will brighten up in a time. Just try something new every week. Even if it the #6 item on a fast food menu and you haven’t tried it before. New experiences, don’t let it get stale
Find something that you love to do and then get so good at that thing that people will pay you to do it for them. Wishing for a better hand won’t do a goddamn thing. Life is very unfair. All you can do is play the hand that you’ve been dealt.
35 is still pretty good. I’m turning 43 this year and am starting to feel like trash. I wonder if a consistent exercise routine and eating well would do wonders for my personal happiness.
My last day of work was today. I’m not sure what I’ll do next except try my own business. In the end it all seems very meaningless. Working working working to make money, to spend it all on bills and putting it in a savings account, to hopefully one day increase the numbers more and more until what? I want to live now, desperately, but I’m not sure what that looks like.
What makes you happy? Entertain that, and find your now purpose instead of your future purpose. That may look different when you get there.
Good luck to you.
