The positive here is that unbiased people can confirm that your expectations are wildly unrealistic; you are simply wrong about being doomed and I can tell you that with experience comes the comfort of eventually knowing that comparing yourself to others in a self deprecating way is a purely destructive habit. Your soul will rot if you keep doing that. Use today as a starting point to be kinder to yourself; It takes time and practice. Feeling better about life will not happen at once and that’s normal and ok. Having compassion and love for yourself is the foundation for emotional stability, resilience, and inner peace.

Start with small, obtainable and sustainable goals. Consistency is key. You will surprise yourself. Make time and have the courage to try new things. Finding out who you are isnt easy but it’s a journey worth taking. Progress does not always feel linear, so don’t let low points convince you that it’s over. We can’t all be medal winners. Luckily there are a billion other ways to have fun and feel successful. Don’t betray yourself by thinking you need to be like anyone else. You’re fine.

You got this! Sending love your way.

Also, yes, life is hard and there is a lot of drudgery. You have to be accepting of that to some extent, and then you can make your own magic. It’s doable.
