I need help with my life
Lately I have been feeling like I’m going to be stuck in the same place in life. I’ve graduated high school and decided to take a gap year to find out who I am, what I want to do etc but I’m feeling very behind in life. I’ll be 20 in a couple months and I feel like I’ve done nothing to make myself happy. I feel like I’m just surviving and everyday is the same and I’m unmotivated to do anything. I used to want to be spontaneous and free but with everything going on right now I feel like I can’t be free and happy. I don’t want to just survive and see what will happen each day, I want to live and take control of my life but I don’t know how..

Hey, I am younger and I have a story to tell you and maybe it can help. I still go to school and I got to this place in life where I felt lost and had really no true friends to go to. I kept all of what I was feeling to myself and then later took it out on other people. I said and did things just because I had no motivation to do good anymore. The only way people saw me was when I said or did something bad. I got in a very deep and dark part in life where everything I used to love disappeared and I just could lay and do nothing for days on end. I started thinking about sad things if ykyk and really saw no good part in life. But, then everything changed in matters of hours when I thought to myself. "The only reason I am not happy is because I feel like I have nothing or no one to live for anymore." So I found people and active things to do even if I was down. And trust me it changed I went from a sad low person to someone who strives to be better always looking for new fun things to do. Whoever you are. You got this. Never stop being yourself always find the good in things and yourself. God bless you and your life.
