I struggle finding purpose

If you want to create art, take babysteps, if you want to find love, love yourself first. Happyness is a state of mind. Succes is for everybody different.

You sound like me, a while ago. Trust me, it's a phase, and it'll pass. It just takes a while.

You've been (we've all been) programmed since birth to think of life, and only view it one way.........women are everything, the family, the nice shit, the picket fence, the kids, the "my Tucker made honors this year," yada, yada.

I'm not saying that way of life doesn't have its benefits, but it's just programming.

Hell, in the old days, fathers used to pay men to marry their daughters. Think about that for a second. That's because being "hot," and having a hot girlfriend didn't matter.

It wasn't a status-programmed culture, and most marriages were just due to the aforementioned, and convenience -- helping each other get through the day.

The modern world you know is the product of consumerism, and status-driven "goals" and desires.

A man is taught that he's nothing without a hot girl. This is absolute horseshit programming. They sold you, and all of us, a false bill of goods.

The purpose of life is simply to exist. To have a little fun with it, and to not take it too seriously.

I think most people have this insight close to the end of their lives and it crushes them. By facing up to the emptiness now, you have an opportunity to find purpose and have it be true and resilient because it comes from within.

You love art? Start with that. Mastery of your art will take years of additional efforts and growth. Just find one simple project to start with. Go easy on yourself.

Every year grow. Listen to new music, try a new experience, set a goal. That way you'll remember every year as distinct. And gradually I think you'll find that meaning emerges slowly. Best of luck brother.

1) make business goals and achieve them.

2) get healthy and fit

3) climb mountains

4) dress well . learn about fashion.

5) get some hobbies. own them. become a master in them

6) learn a trade, like woodwork.

7) read a book a week

8) help some disabled people, or the disadvantaged, to learn empathy.

9) watch motivational youtube videos

Do the above.

When you accept there is no objective meaning to existence, you get to create your own meaning. Pick a goal, go for it, and meaning will manifest itself. There doesn't need to be a universal meaning for life to be fun.

Hmmmm, i try to limit on advice but, ummm.

I suggest looking to your childhood, it is most likely when you were not thinking this way, you just enjoyed the day. i would also look into some new hobbies, always improve and enjoy. your happiness should matter more, you have to make your own meaning. If someone told you what the meaning of life was you would probably leave still wanting more answers, to a question that has infinite answers.

love exist, you should be the first person on the list. Make your own fantasy, i found matching it up to other peoples fantasy was boring. have fun with creating your fantasy as it will turn into reality.

Success is not a tool for love, since being in a capitalistic society, it is about having the freedom to own your time. success is what you make it really, that's the fun in it, ex; to me success one day is being on the winning team in call of duty. but what's i have achieved it. it is on to a new meaning of success for me. their is no permanent success story, your always looking for news challenges and goals. i find that very fun and meaningful

i would stick with art, it's never too late. i would suggest using the lesson you learned from the experience as inspiration for you art piece.

happiness is defined differently, you should do things because you enjoy it, hahaha before i masturbate, i don't lay their contemplating asking why and am i enjoying it. then you come out judgeing the experince, it was fun and i already know i'm doing it again hahahahaha
