nope, not lost at all. Happy in general though. And there isn’t really a point. But, ‘a point’ has nothing to do with being happy. ;)

Just doing stuff is pointless. Sit down and brainstorm a list of directions and possibilities. Share your list with people you trust.

Direction gives life meaning.

You won’t find “meaning” anywhere on its down. You create meaning in what you do. What meaning does exercise have? If it slims you down, makes you feel healthy and confident, encourages you to run races, bike races, socialize, get to know people, then it has a lot of meaning and value. See… direction is everything.

Stop worrying about making the right decision. There is no meaning to life. There is no right choice. You just choose something and work at it. When it doesn’t work out, you try something else. Focus on the interactions with people, focus on the positive things you learn, experience. Enjoy as many experiences and relationships as you can.

In complete absence of everything, in an eternal void…

well, maybe even if your life seems pointless, perhaps you were meant to impact someone else’s life in some small and seamingly insignificant way. And that person impacts another and so on, and so on. And in the end, the world was a better place, just because you were there. :)

well there is nothing other than life. Its all youve got.
hassle is just another part of life. and if you want to kill yourself. wellt hats just game over.
but youve got to realize that though the romance and excitement of suicide may go on,you won’t knwo about it. You will just cease to exist. Theres nothing after you live.
Unless you believe in the whoel afterlife thign
which just makes no sense

Making yourself happy should be the first step. You can’t make others happy, if you don’t know what it is either!

And yes, everybody hurts eachother eventually. Thank god, if people didn’t nobody would learn anything! And people would stop valueing things like respect and love. Seriously, you can’t be happy If you aren’t hurt regularly. It matters how you handle those situation, and for that, well you neet to be hurt.

Depression comes from inaction.

You’ll feel better just taking action. Making plans. Talking to people.

Waiting around makes you passive. Being passive makes you depressed. Being depressed makes you wonder what the point of anything is. As there is no point to anything, you just end up sitting around feeling crappy.

Go out and change your life. Make some mistakes. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not living!

Absolutely.

When I felt really sorry for myself (my wife died in January 07) I marched myself down to the local sports shop and signed up for a 5k running group. It led me on an incredible journey of learning to run (I was fat) and I ended up running a half marathon a year later, biking 360k over a weekend, making new friends in a bike group, etc. I joined a movie group and ended up finding my current girlfriend who is so different from other women I dated after my wife died that I feel I am the luckiest man alive. I can’t believe how much my life has changed… all because I took regular little steps to DO stuff.

When I sit around, I feel like crap. When I act, I feel great.
