I’m feeling a little lost today. It could be the unemployed status, it could be the ‘everyone else is so successful’ mindset. I know we all feel a little empty inside sometimes. I’ve always felt lost, not knowing what I like, not knowing what I want out of life; and as expected, once i quit my job, the feelings came rushing back. Maybe I need a sense of duty, of purpose. Maybe I’, just scared. Not knowing what lies ahead scares me, knowing I want so much out of life but not being able to achieve it all scares me. And I know I should just start doing something, I should shouldn’t’ I? I’ve tried so hard to figure out what I like, but perhaps deep down I really do not want to know. I don’t know why I am writing this because I am answering my every question. I just don’t feel alright today, as lost as I can get I guess.

Hi there.
I just want to say that it is ok to feel lost. School, family, college- none of them prepare us to what is to come. Believe me, it is in human nature to be scared of the unknown. You are rushing about everything, afraid of the fact that you will never feel useful… It is time to take a breather. Stop for a moment, look around you, life is actually all black and white- we just make it complex in our prespective. Just analyze everything around you before diving right back in.
This is not going to find you a job or something to do, but I hope it will calm your nerves.
Good luck💕
Thank you so much! I so feel better, life just gets me so overwhelmed all the time sometimes. Thank you :')

oh mate, I know how you feel with the ‘everyone else is so successful’ mindset. It hurts so much, it’s turns people bitter and cold, so try not to let it hurt your wonderful soul. It’s scary to not know what will come. But that way you can sometimes choose what will come, make life your own adventure. Forge your own path, blaze a trail, all of it. You don’t have to do anything if you don’t want to. But in order to feel something, to find something, you have to put yourself out there and look. I’m a bit of a hypocrite here, but I’ll start looking if you do 😂
We all get a little lost. But sometimes it’s for the best. Sometimes when we’re lost, we really end up in the least expected places, and they could be the places you need to be. And if you’re really lucky, you’ll get found. I know it’s hard, but don’t give up, OK? Just keep breathing, and exploring. We’re all here to have fun after all. I hope your day gets better <3 Stay strong
Yeah I realize I gotta start looking, the longer I avoid it the more painful it becomes, sadly :( Thank you so much, will try looking into more thing, and definitely try not to overthink, it is a lot so many times. I swear my mind is my own prison. I dont know if other people feel the same way but I always feel guilty towards my parents no matter what I do, but long story, one thign at a time. Thank you for your encouragement. :)
I know what you mean. I’m always here if you wanna talk :)
