I don't know where the purpose of my life is. I looked where I last saw it and it isn't there anymore. It's like losing your keychain. All I can do is hope I forgot it somewhere at home because I sure can't go outside without it. I wanna find joy in things again, and it is so difficult to get you shit together when everything feels so meaningless.

The more I look for the keys the more I fear I lost them for good. Which makes me not wanna search for them at all and just distract myself with random stuff. I think that describes my situation quite well.

Anyway I'm sad. But I hope you all are doing okay!

I know this feeling myself.

I don’t have all the answers but I usually start by asking myself this question “What do I really want?”

Then I write down a list of things as they pop into my thoughts.

Usually, there are some easy things that I can do immediately, so I do them as fast as I can to get a quick win.

Checking off an item off the list becomes addictive!

Then, if possible, I plan on how to tackle the remaining things on the list.

Some things might prove to be impossible to accomplish but I console myself with the knowledge that I did succeed with a lot of them.

You can do this too. Everyone can.

Remember that you are not alone!
