Trying to make lemonade

All I can say is I suck at it. I feel like I have no purpose in life other than to exist for the sake of existing.

I struggle to find happiness and fulfillment in life.

I feel like I have no real prospects for the future. I am over the halfway mark for an average lifespan and have no idea how the rest of my life is going to go and no solid plan to prepare how to live out my life.

Everything I want, I know I have to work for yet I struggle to find that gift of being able to excel and succeed in everything I do. I’d like to think bring a good person will get me places but all I feel like is being played by life. I know not to compare myself to my peers but I can’t help to feel I am way behind them in terms of life achievements.

🥺

It sucks when we feel like this.

No direction.

And the world is going out without us.

We just want the small things that everyone else takes for granted but feel out of our reach.

It can be isolating.

It can be so empty.

We think often what's the point?

But the one thing, I have learnt in life, is that you don't give up.

There is no timeline.

We all have our different stories.

There's always hope.

As a female listener on here, people always say to me, why are you not married, why have you no kids, as if not having this means I have no purpose.

Life worked out differently for me.

I have five nephews and a niece who are my world.

I'm not empty or unhappy.

I'm very content.

I'm still learning and exploring and doing new and fun things and meeting new people.

I decide what's right for me.

No one else!

You deserve to find your way, no matter if that way doesn't look similar to anyone else's, that doesn't matter!

You cannot change the past but you still have time to change the future 💜💕
