Skate 4 bro!

This. ⬆️⬆️⬆️ If you are able to, adopting an animal from a rescue would be great. Dogs especially are greeting you at the door with the tail wagging in happiness that you are home. The first dog we adopted was overlooked a lot by others because she was standoffish. She loved my daughter and followed her around the pen in the meet and greet. They even asked us if she was “the one” since she was chill and we said we were an active family. She was weary of others because she probably came from a place where she was abused. She didn’t like or trust grown men until we showed her they were ok with the pack. (She liked my husband immediately when we met her.) She was loyal and loving, and sadly we lost her to cancer about a year and a half after we took her home. But she would relax fully with us, and we were blessed to provide the safe and calm environment where she was not on edge all the time.

Oz is volume is my answer, use newtons or lbs

Curiosity could be a good reason. Just pick a random subject and start reading about it. Your world gets bigger and more rich when you chase and cultivate curiosity.

I think everyone feels like that sometimes in their lives. But think at it, wouldn't it be a waste? Like hey we're here and we have the chance to do good, so why not? I know everything feels pointless in that state of mind but already talking about this as a problem is a sign that we have some will to get over this, and that we're not gonna give up, so try giving this feeling all of your energy. We'll find our way brother! Until then let's just walk and enjoy the journey

I know you said this but. Go to church. You will find hope and motivation there

This might be silly, but have you seen the movie "Soul"? It really transformed how I was looking at my own search for meaning and kind of helped normalize how I was feeling like everyone else had found their purpose and I just couldn't seem to find mine.

Yo u ever feel that if you don’t find a reason or anything else just to live, a passion, a goal, someone else, by a certain age, you’re just gonna end it! Like get a gun and go somewhere where they’ll never find your body, or find the right assortment of pills to make you fall asleep and just take you away while you sleep. Or is it just me???🤔

Lots of amazing comments and advice. Just wanted to say that I was really struck by your comment about not feeling much interest in chasing things anymore. I 100 percent feel this and only recently have realized that that feeling, not wanting to chase things, is actually pretty awesome and goes counter to what society tells us to do. Society tells us to chase and chase and chase all the things you mentioned: religion or our work or our getting more stuff, whatever it is. So it's really a profound thing instead of saying, okay what's next or what more can I be doing, to just say, I'm just going to be. For me, that's meant dabbling in hobbies I never would have imagined doing. (I tried rollerblading again, for instance, which I hadn't done in like 20 years. Pointless? Kind of. Really fun? Definitely.) It's meant reading more. Trying creative writing, even though I'm probably not that great at it but it's fun. But it did mean sitting in the uncomfortable space where you are for a while thinking that something was wrong or that I just needed to find the next thing or the next goal. I'm slowly getting better at recognizing when I'm feeling that desire to find something to chase, or feeling unmotivated in general, and shifting to asking what might bring me joy. And if I try something and it doesn't bring me joy, cool! Now I know. I'll just try something else.

Sending love!

When life sucks the repose is to figure out what would make it suck less

And mybad alot of words didnt spell correctly i was typing fast or i forgot to put a couple words in that were laft out

Idk if anyone said this already but i feel like life has no meaning aswell and maybe it really doesnt but i think your suppose to find a meaning in life . and if you cant find one let your family be the meaning because i learned if i killed today thats not just it my mom wouldnt live or anyone of my family so that should be your meaning in live is to just accept everything and make your family happy theres people who can go to a funeral cry and then a couple years it dont hurt as much anymore but there will always be that one person who it will affect forever . i wanna kill myself everyday because i want think theres no purpose and i want to kill nyself everyday but that would be selfish because theres people who really care and thats what keeps me going and just try to do your best because no matter what excuses we have in life god will judge them and no matter if we think its right or wrong or we have the best reason for what we do god s judgement is the truth weather we like it or not so let god creating you be another purpose to life and im not religious but ik no words or decision can ever be more right then god

Same!

There are also some YouTube videos out there if you are unable to do this. The one thing you will never hear people in hospice or in the later stages of life say is " I wish I worked more".

honestly, I find meaning in the littlest things to help me through. Just being grateful for what I have and always thinking I’m lucky, when truthfully I’m just another middle class kid.

I felt (and feel) the same way. Honestly, what helped me a lot was just kinda participating. For a few months, I just said yes to everything. Every invitation, every event, every person asking for help, etc. Even if I really didnt feel like it, it got me out doing things, and that beats sitting around at home doing nothing any day.

I don't want to say it gave me any meaning, I get that elsewhere, but I realized how much I was holding myself back and was a lot happier for it.

I have a really crappy life 5 kids two ex-wifes and a crappy job, but I find joy in the journey. I've had a lot of good experiences, and I have had a lot of bad ones. It's the simple things that give my life meaning for example, wiping ice cream off my youngest daughters smile, or even calming on of my some down after they've hurt them selves some how and Doctoring them up. I think the true meaning of life is experiencing it for what it is, kaotic simple enjoyable misery and still finding a way to be the best part of someone's day.

Don’t you think that with this realization you have earned the ability to do anything you want to? Your options in life are limitless and you can do anything.

Absolutely! I feel like I went through something similar recently. Oddly enough, I started to feel that same sense of wonderment delving into litigation of esports and the video game industry (I’m a lawyer) but currently practice in a field in which I have no interest. Keep that inner sense of wonder alive brother!

That's when you find someone to help you with the weight, I think.

It can be a friend, a mentor, a parent, a teacher.

If it's arm paralysis, whether metaphorical or not

It may be time for a doctor.

This, this is what I needed❤️❤️❤️thanks, you made my eyes tear up, and i don't cry easily thanks thanks thanks i wish you the best
