Does anyone else feel like they can't have dreams or passions anymore? I try to create dreams and life goals, but they all seem unattainable. I mean, I can't even accomplish simple things in my life, what tells me I could accomplish bigger things?
I used to love drawing and writing stories, but now I can't bring myself to do either. I feel like my writing's not good enough anyway and I don't have a notebook to write in. Let's not even start with art. I compare myself so much to others that I don't even want to draw anymore because I suck at it. In my mind there's no point doing anything unless it can be praised. I can't even find inspiration anymore.
Another problem of mine is the great desire to throw things away and delete all my accounts. I've thrown away things I cared about because of this urge. I've seem to do it out of a desire to control at least something in my life. Idk.
This was a bit of a ramble but it's nice to get it all off my chest.
Yes, so so much, I rarely leave the house these days, I think covid has given me the perfect excuse. Currently trying to be motivated to do things I used to enjoy but even thinking about it is exhausting. I do the same with trying to throw everything away. It almost seems as if the less you have the easier it is to manage but it's not what happens (at least for me)
It's good to know I'm not the only one, and yes when I throw things away it doesn't really make things better, only temporarily. I think if I didn't stop myself I'd literally throw everything I own away. Sometimes I think that it's really me that I want to throw away.
Not a ramble helps me and othrrs
My opinion
That's a.it is
U
Lkke most of us
Need a sounding board or. Club or fellow
Because we lose perspective
And we are our own worst critics

Help with perspective
And I'm.impresdd with anyone who writes or art
As my famikybarexall critics
But
From the bleelachers
Which fries my rear no end
V
U

My perspective

No.prrsdure of course but we love seeing what others are doing
i feel the same way. i was a decent soccer player in high school and a couple years after school. i still love the sport, i watch it and play a soccer video game but i just cant get the motivation to go out and play. I WANT TO SOOOOBAD .. i just cant.
I completely agree with you. It’s hard because at one point there is all these goals and dreams and then once you start comparing yourself to others it’s so hard to think that you can get there. I find that sometimes even taking little steps can be hard because it’s going to take too much to reach the goal or dream.
I think it’s a problem quite a large number of people face. What sort of thing were you writing? And what sort of thing inspired you before?
I loved writing fanfiction mainly, and I was generally inspired by the band I wrote about or daily events or sometimes things I saw on TV. Now I'm not as into the band so I'm kind of struggling to figure out what to write about
That’s cool. You said you weren’t as into the band anymore but what about the daily events or tv stuff? Or could you join with someone and write together so you can motivate each other or help each other with things?
