Do you have a wife? Friends? Family?

If so, try to make them as happy as you can. It will fill you up with joy too.

Have you ever had a passion about anything in life? Something you liked as a kid?

If so, go ahead and try to achieve it! And go all in. Dont hasitate. You have nothing to lose.

I know its hard when you feel so down, but bite your lips and do it. You will feel great later. Trust me.

I was no different before I got a girlfriend. I started making more and more friends. I found my purpose to make others happy. Then my some of my friends disowned me and attempted repute me as a problem. I have very limited friends which are more considered acquaintances and a girlfriend who is emotionally unstable and relies on me for support. I feel used and ridiculed, especially with GCSEs about a month away. My grades are appalling, my parents look down in disappointment and my teachers , to quote, "have no faith" in me. My purpose, I felt, was to make others happy, yet I cannot make myself happy. I've always been good at making doing things for others but not myself and that has always been my flaw. With this slowing devolving, self-deprecating world, there is no point to living. We will all die. Nothing can change that. That is our purpose, to live and die. Everything else is optional. We are hard wired to live, that's why I view those that commit suicide strong as they were able to detach and let go of everything. I, on the other hand, am not so strong sadly.

So my advice to you SleeplessBoy, is do what makes you happy. No matter what it might be.

If anything still makes you happy....

Not what you're looking for?
