I Wouldn't Wish it Upon Anyone (Possible Trigger Warning) - Comments

You're very welcome and feel free to send me a message if you'd ever like to just chat. I'm new here, only been on the site for about two days, so I'm still getting use to everything around here. Besides, new friends never hurt anyone.

vv Yes, I am indeed fifteen. And what a wonderful age it is.

Or, if I'm being honest. It's pretty bad. I've never felt like I fit in with other teenagers. You're right. I have a long way to go and I don't have to worry about things that I can still search for in the coming years. Thanks. :)

You are only fifteen, if the age on your profile is correct. Don't feel down if you haven't found your purpose in life, I wasn't ready to commit to much at your age either. As a matter of fact, I was still living what I like to call, my darkest days, at fifteen. Just try to have fun in life and continue doing what you love best, the rest will come when it's meant to happen. I might have just gotten lucky being able to find myself at only eighteen. I'm also now the type of person who was ready to settle for things early in life. Like the fact that I've been married for a little over nine months.

Just remember, it will come to you in good time and when it does, it will be a major relief and burden off your shoulders. I know it was for me.

vv Thank you for replying. I think it's great that you've found a purpose. I guess maybe I should have expounded upon that point in my journal. I have found a purpose once or twice - but mostly it's been temporary. I love writing and art, and I love to help people, but all of those things are sometimes hard to find the right outlet for. My love and interest in things can sometimes be... sporadic. Everyday I come across another thing that I can see myself doing in life.

But at the same time, I'm still very young, and I don't feel comfortable about settling for something yet. Knowing that I don't know what I'm going to do... is kind of liberating, in a way.

Depression is something I unfortunately battled for years and still do from time to time. You're also right; it is impossible for someone to just try and talk sense into you when you're feeling the worst. You're also right about the fact that you should leave behind the ones who make you miserable in life. Though something you wrote caught my attention, and that was that you haven't found a reason to life just yet. Perhaps it is only me, but everyone has a purpose to life, they just must find it. I found my purpose in life not too long ago and I'm glad I did, because my life was on a constant roller coaster until I did. Finding the reason to life can be as simple as being here to help others, or to inspire others through a way of art. I will admit though, that when I am at my worst, none of the reasoning to my own life I've found will mean much to me, and thinking about it now makes me feel overly ridiculous.

You'll find your purpose in life and possibly even the meaning of life to you. If you ever need someone to talk to, whether it be serious or causal conversation, I'll definitely be here to talk!
