Someone with open ears, chalkboard of info, warmth of a touch. Go find her I mean him, easier said than done. I'm praying I want her here. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85171680 I wish you the best and I hope you find her. I'd like to find my person too, but I wonder if it would be unkind to show up as someone who is thinking the relationship will ease my existential unease. That's a lot of pressure and responsibility to put on someone. |

They really are just thoughts coming from youthful nostalgia and remembering one of the times when life felt exciting. I am 37 now though, so probably won't be going down that route again.

Quoting: LucyLucid I don't have any advice but have noticed a lot of people going through similar struggles. I've been a bit down myself as of late. Hugs to you and wishing you the clarity and inner strength to pull yourself up out of your rut. |

(OP) User ID: 77090011 United States 01/30/2023 08:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no fixing this life. You MUST settle your account with the Lord God Most High who we all sinned against by entering into the human flesh. Prepare your soul for what comes after. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6320573 www.kleckfiles.com This should be the purpose of your life. Nothing else will matter when it's over. Before doing that settle relationships in this world. That’s a cause of a lot of unconscious pain that doesn’t go away unless we deal with or at the least reach out anew to those who have hurt us or we have hurt. The most sensitive souls cannot outlast the lesser sensitive ones. Do the hard, unfinished stuff always. Everyday. You might be surprised That's good advice. There are people out there who deserve apologies or affirmations from me. Reaching out is difficult, but I think that would mean something. I could stand to make a 'My Name is Earl' type of list.

When you embrace that you notice the small things that begin to have meaning, like a sole bird singing at 4:53 AM. 2. There are a few others that feel the same. There is a quantum of solace in knowing that. 3. This world is not as it appears. 4. God loves you more than you can imagine. |

I loved seeing a performer pour their heart and soul out over a song. Alt country, punk rock, rockabilly were favorites. Do something that gives you the feeling of being young and discovering something new. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67748548 United States 01/31/2023 07:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hear you OP I’m the same. I’m one of the rare people that loves their job I work as a cameraman and my hobby is photography anyway. Lately the world just seems off, it’s the jabs it’s a depopulation plan unfolding before our eyes. I’ve lost a lot of motivation and so have my friends too. The things that keep me happy are: Animals, exercise, cycling, Spotify premium, weed in moderation and GREAT BOOKS. You can download all the classics for free. Some are life-changing. The vaxxed are acting weird AF too. Chin up. Keep going. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 85130586 Japan 01/31/2023 08:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Read your thread and have a few general comments. I personally, and I think most everyone, has experienced what you described. I believe that as we age, the periods become less frequent and of shorter duration. You may be experiencing something of a mid-life crisis as you have unrealized potential (by your own description) an unsatisfying personal life and no blueprint for the future. Let's start by recognizing you are an EXCELLENT writer and very good at expressing yourself. At the same time, you laid out your situation with a minimum of self pity. That alone makes you stand out at a forum like GLP...and you are not blaming anyone for your current situation. Another positive. What you need to do first is identify the ROOT CAUSE. The root cause could be mental or physical...and it is difficult to know which applies here. Therefore, I would recommend you address both concurrently. If you haven't read it already, look at the COSMIC DEATH FUNGUS thread on GLP. I have been studying it for several months and it has a solid basis in science. Making a few additions of supplements and cutting down or eliminating carbs/sugar is a great start. Also look into OMAD and/or fasting. Cut down your online time on sites like GLP which tend to create an acidic mental environment with all of the constant doom and gloom. I check in a few times a day for no more than 15-20 minutes. Use the time made available researching nutrition or better yet, check out a few books and do some actual reading. Think about a field that is of interest to you and take a class at a local community college. It will provide some structure and human input in a controllable fashion. Pay attention to your diet as well. Eat healthy and cut out most junk food. It is actually cheaper to eat foods which are healthy for you. I could go on for pages, but from the above you can see there are many POSITIVE changes you can make RIGHT NOW that will start you in a better direction. Finally, if you are looking for a side hustle, I am looking for an online assistant and your comm skills suggest you would be good at it. Let me know if you have any interest in discussing further. The people offering religious recommendations are well intentioned, but ultimately we are all responsible for our own happiness and satisfaction...which comes from our choices and taking responsibility for our well being. |

User ID: 84500805 United States 01/31/2023 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I feel the same way OP. I used to have so much more motivation. I used to garden, woodwork, build things, grow things, travel, have all these big dreams. Today I was looking at my backyard, filled with leaves from last October. I’ve thought about raking them up several times. But then I think, what’s the point, a Russian nuke will take them out soon enough, or I’ll die from the poisons in the food put out there by the Illuminati, so the world can be depopulated, so the earth can go back to nature. I should spend some time putting rain gutters on my house. But who cares, Chinese troops will be marching down my street soon enough, why do I want to put gutters on a house they’ll soon own anyways? I have paint peeling on my shed and the outside boards need re-nailed to the frame, a job that would take mere minutes. I’ve let that Slide Over two years. I don’t give a shit anymore. Why bother to build a life when humanity has been checkmated by Satanist’s? I hate feeling this way too OP. I used to feel like I was going to conquer the world someday. I used to have goals and ambition. Now what’s the point? I wish I had some motivating answer for you that would snap you out of your funk and launch you back into living life. But I’m right here with you, wishing I could muster up just a tad more “give a fuck” Last Edited by 580Dandman on 01/31/2023 10:43 PM Dandman |
