Why am I here?

Now my mum has basically said she doesn't want me to keep asking her for advice. Which...I mean - fine? I guess.
I'm not going to sit and complain about people because I know nobody wants to hear it.
It's not productive anyway.
I don't know what the problem is.
Life just keeps not being the way I expect it to be.
People aren't as kind or as patient or as joyful or fun as I expect, life is harder than I expect, life is lonlier than it should be...
Finding fun or joy is so hard.
I am grateful that my country isn't at war, and my loved ones are safe and so on...
but is the bar really that low?
God is real I think.
But I don't see him anywhere.

Though you cannot see God, that does not mean he is not there, because he is, every step of the way. He sees and hears you daily

There's a transition into being an adult. Gotta figure it out for yourself, nobody can tell you what that is.

But life isn't fair and nature is savage. Yell and fight, maybe go with the river... Both work. But it's up to you to make meaning and make it work.

End of the day you are an intelligent human being and you will need to decide what's important and worthy of you. You set the bar, decide what brings joy, how to live.

I met a man, lost in his 20s, video games and weed were his life. He decided to become something else, he started fishing, getting fit, challenging himself. He roared and yelled at the river as he made his mark. That's not everyone, but he chose to be more and he was. He got married, had children, took them fishing.

Choose what is important in your life and seek it out.

Maaaybe do some blood tests and see if you have some vitamin deficiency. Vitamin deficiency can make you really depressed and less tolerant of everything that's happening

I also have a lot to complain about and no one to complain to. People get sick of it, sooo you can come on here and write. I think it's a good solution. It works

@nothereforpeople You might have a point with the vitamins. I keep forgetting to take them.
I don’t get a lot of sleep either bc my kid wakes me up really early every day.
I don’t want to be someone who complains all the time.
You’ve given me something to think about actually, thanks xx

@Vengabus Don't worry about it. I get it... and that's the beauty of wiritng about things online. You can complain all you want and non one's going to say anything about it

Also, sleep deprivation sucks

@Vengabus i am very disappointed with your mums attitude that is what being a good parent is all about being there for there siblings for encouragement and advice . it really comes with her parental duties a sort of contract too keep your siblings on right path with there help

Well she’s always been a bit funny. She told me to move out on my 18th birthday AND told me she was divorcing my dad. - On my actual 18th birthday.
She is lovely most of the time but then she has these moments that come out of nowhere that leave you wondering what she could be thinking. She’s messaged me again this morning and is busy giving me advice again (unsolicited this time) 🙄 lol
I’ll never understand her
