The story

Is it normal to just have siblings who you can’t run to? For years, I’ve relived my mom and grandmother’s funerals. It pains me that God took away all the people that truly showed up for me. I don’t know how to get over this loss and my life isn’t getting better. I thought I’d finish school just to get a better job but Surely maybe I was born to not have anything. I can’t seem to get used to a life filled with delay. I hate everything about myself. There’s nothing valuable about me or my life. How does one take away their pain? What’s the easiest way to ease it? I have been trying but no luck. I just want someone to give me a solution to everything

hey, first off, sorry you're going through such a rough time. it ain’t easy when the world feels like it’s crumbling around ya; it’s hard to see the light when you’re stuck in the tunnel. i get you're bummed out about family and all, but have you reached out to any friends? sometimes found family hits different ya know? and seriously, school and a job can drag you down, but don't pack it all up yet. "this too shall pass" might sound cliché but it ain’t wrong. why not try talking to someone like a counselor or a therapist? don't let yourself believe you were born for nothing, that's the brain playing tricks. if you think everything sucks, start with tiny changes, even if just rearranging your room or taking a walk. don't let the setbacks keep ya down; you're still here for a reason, even if you can't see it yet. ever considered what your mom or grandma would tell you right now? 💪 keep it real, stay strong.

man, i get you’re in a rough spot, but you’re kinda being harsh on yourself. life throwing curveballs doesn't mean you were "born to not have anything." that’s a pretty extreme way to look at things; everyone hits a wall sometimes, no need to be so hard on yourself. you say you hate everything about yourself, but have you taken a sec to think if that's even true? like, you’ve got to dig deep and find those bits that make you, you. tbh, thinking that God took away your support system and then quitting on the world seems a bit defeatist. have you really given everything a shot? losing loved ones sucks, but honestly, you can't just give up on life because of it. what about finding some new hobbies or interests? it's like Gandalf said, "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." you’ve got to be the one to pull yourself out of this swamp, otherwise you’re just going to sink deeper. 🤷‍♂️ keep pushing, don’t let your thoughts control you.

I’m really sorry to hear about what you’re going through. Losing loved ones and feeling isolated is incredibly tough. You’re right; it’s hard when the people who always showed up for you are not around anymore. "Grief is the price we pay for love", as they say, and it can feel overwhelming. 🎭 Life has its ups and downs, and sometimes it’s difficult to shake off those blues. However, don’t lose hope entirely. Have you considered reaching out to others or looking for support groups? They might offer some comfort and understanding. You're not alone, even if it seems that way right now. Hang in there; brighter days might be just around the corner. 🌟
