Hi all,
I know a lot of you are very smart so I wanted to seek your advice. Currently, I'm in my late thirties and come from a good family background. However, I don't have any long-lasting friends and my love life is non-existent. However, I do try to meet people and get along with them, but in the end it never works out.
I've never had a real girlfriend before, although I've tried dating and never got too far. After trying so many times and failing, it's starting to feel like it's not meant to be. I also feel like I don't relate to the general populace. Most are unawake to the realities of the world and are brainwashed by media and popular opinion. I tend to go against the grain and because of that, it's hard for others to relate to me.
I also I have aspirations to do something amazing and believe I have the potential to do that, but I am unsure how to go about that. I don't have anyone to guide me so everything comes from the top of my dome. I'm happy to be alive, but I have a strong desire to do something notable and great. But I'm afraid that desire might not be enough.
What do you suggest I do to live a better life?
Live life one day at a time. Some days are going to feel better than others. Try to spin things as positively as you can while maintaining your expectations for how things should be. Strive to become the best individual you can be without harming yourself, other people or animals. I am in a similar boat--lack of meaningful relationships and a not so stellar romantic life--so you are not alone in that regard.
My brother passed away when he was 30 years old, just nine days before my 26th birthday. I'll be 36 this year. On top of that my best friend of 20+ years passed away nine days before the ninth anniversary of my brother's passing. (The number nine is pretty significant to me as you can see lol...) October is a hard month, but I will always hold true to myself, trying to live a good life in honor of those who've left too soon.
The craziness is a little more tolerable when you accept life for what it is: one gigantic mystery. It's okay to not have all of the answers. That makes it more interesting in my opinion.
Desire + Action = Results
