I actually very recently stopped having bouts of horrible depression which started after I realized I no longer believed in the religion I was raised in (and that pretty much WAS the foundation to all of my thoughts and beliefs before) and during that time was very pessimistic and cynical toward just about everything. I really enjoy the mindset I have now compared to then, however I still don't have an idea of what to think when it comes to any kind of "meaning" of being alive, sense of any real purpose, and etc.
I think my main concern for the short term (over the next 6 months roughly) is to find a new way to make a decent amount of money to cover my bills and needs without having to send myself into the prison that has become the typical American workday, also known as "Office World". I can't help but feel though that if I had a more solid foundaton for myself existing in the first place, everything else would fall in order much faster. Life might be easier if I didn't like the think so much  |
It sounds to me like you are on the right path. As you make your way over the next six months, keep your eyes open for things that inspire you, as this may help you discover your message.
I believe our message changes throughout our lives, and it does take a certain amount of living before a clear message can be discovered. Of course, the amount of living required varies from person to person.
I am confident you will find yours if you keep looking.
