Discussion What would make your life worth living?

[derpyderpins]

Before it can be identified, I need rest, which I can only get through financial freedom, so I guess that's step one.

nothing, I am already done

Who even knows. I was in constant meetings yesterday at work. I somehow survived and for some reason at the end of the day I sort of felt normal. I stopped for some groceries. Thought to myself, hey maybe I can get through this. Actually slept a little. Now? I'm right back in it. Thinking I should attempt again later. What's the point of all this? I hate it. I hate this reality.

I don't think there's anything, maybe a girlfriend and a decent job but I know it's not happening.

One gazillion dollars and having friends that actually like me

Love and purpose.

Simple as that.

I'd like to say things like: being able to have a job (ideally a meaningful one), having financial independence, having people whom I can trust, and so on. There are potentially lots of things that could be changed to make my life worth living, I suppose.

Ultimately, however, the real answer is that I would have to not be me. The only thing to make my life worth living would be that it not be my life. A magical genie could grant all my superficial wishes, but if I am still myself at my core, my life can't really be worth living. Self-sabotage is seemingly one thing I'm exceedingly good at. So if I were thrown into a perfect life situation, I'd manage to ruin it by virtue of being myself. The only thing that could make my life worth living is fundamentally changing my very essence, at which point, it's not my life that's been made worth living, it's the life of a better person who deserves to live in the first place.
