emptiness

Feeling a little empty today. I feel like I have no purpose in life. I do the same things over and over again. A day usually consists only of me doing chores, piano, school, read, draw, and YouTube. It gets boring now. My mom suggested for me to search for more volunteering opportunities. Hopefully this will fill the void of emptiness in my life.

It sounds like you are young. Please know that life will definitely change- it always does. I am 62 years old and I find comfort in routine. I agree with your Mom and others- volunteer work will help give you a different perspective.

I remember when I had the luxury of feeling bored. Then through many years my life became filled with struggle crisis working and unproductive pursuits for a meaningful relationship. Oh, yea and health issues. I administered a volunteer program of people who helped those disabled for several years. I enjoyed that part of my work. I'm only offering you an alternative perspective from my real experience. Maybe it will help.

I totally get that and hate days like that. I hope things improve soon. I volunteer at a cat rescue organization and it definitely cheers me up.

Hi KingkittyS, It definitely is challenging when everyday seems like a repeat of the last one. Seems like the only thing we can do is keep on trying new things, with the hope that our efforts will pay off. Sometimes having some goals that we are working on helps one feel better. I tend to feel better emotionally when I making progress. It is difficult, though, to press on when we feel down in the dumps.

I am dealing with financial problems and loneliness and some days are very difficult. I figure that if I do my best each day, that is better than not do anything productive.

sorry to hear about you’re overwhelming life can seem like just a chore believe in self contributing to a higher purpose is self worth and identify keeping mind activated is of value you are connecting to and resonating with self being important leaving negative exchange behind using the energy to uplift you are positive and giving that environment a sense of achievement you have hope being in contact with change and others who share you’re interests will help you’re challenges being more appreciated hope lightened burdens
