    Depression. I am very lonely. I have no plans for the future. Everything feels meaningless, most of all my existence.

      Life is a struggle to make something from nothing. You may not feel you have direction, but you are on a path to becoming a more fulfilled being with each day and experience.

      Your assertion that life is only emptiness is largely true. The only meaning is what we create.

      Try to love yourself, feel every feeling you can, and appreciate you get to be anything at all.

      Happiness and purpose is just a perspective, one that I have chosen. It comes and goes, it’s always a battle.

      But i used to be empty. I used to be nothing. I wanted to stop existing.

      Nothing has changed as far as my outlook on the world, but I have found meaning in the meaningless. I have filled my emptiness with worth.

      I think it comes down to appreciation. I’m alive, and that’s pretty crazy. Might as well enjoy myself, fuck the rest. Don’t do shit you don’t wanna do. What’s the point?

        Appreciated words. I feel like the difficulty level of life is too high for me, I’m not skilled enough at living in this world.

          I hear you there buddy trust me. I was not long for this world either. I quit. I shot drugs for over a decade and just sank to the bottom, uncaring.

          No one is skilled enough. Look at the world for evidence. We are vompletely unequipped for the task at hand, but I think that’s what makes life interesting and worth living.

          Make the best of your pain. Feel it. Accept it. Maybe you will find something in plain sight you missed before. Always keep looking. It’s a battle.
