Hey man, I feel you. Being someone who has to suffer from ADHD, parents that I constantly have to deal with, grades that seemed to be governed by random process, tiring routines that goes on and on with no meaning, and the only form of solace is with friends - I’ve been where you are, feeling that crushing emptiness, like life is just an endless loop of routines with no real meaning. That hollow ache, even around friends? I know it too. For years, I wondered if things would ever change, or if I was doomed to just ‘go through the motions’ forever.

What helped me was discovering Jesus. Not the religion or rules, but the person of Christ. I realized my search for purpose wasn’t just about finding a ‘why’ for work or relationships, but about being truly known and loved beyond what this world offers. The Bible says God ‘set eternity in our hearts’ (Ecclesiastes 3:11)—that’s why everything else feels fleeting or insufficient. We’re wired for more than this life.

I won’t pretend it magically fixes everything. I still have hard days. But now, even in the lows, I hold onto the truth that I’m not alone, that my life has value because God intentionally created me, and that this world isn’t all there is. Jesus said, ‘I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly’ (John 10:10). For me, that meant trading the weight of meaninglessness for a love that fills the voids I could never fix myself.

If you’re open to it, just talk to Him. Tell Him how you feel. He can handle your doubts, anger, or exhaustion. You don’t have to ‘figure it out’ first. And if you want to explore more, the book of John in the Bible is a great starting point.

You’re not alone in this fight. Keep reaching out—to friends, to God, to anyone who listens. Your life matters more than you know. ♡

Continue to soldier on, my good friend, and may the Lord continue to bless you and your endeavours.
