now, if only I can work out the part about what I want from life (I still don't know that), I can work towards being happy
right now I wouldn't say I'm happy (I wouldn't even say I'm content), I'm here because... well, because I don't hav much of a choice

Thank you for sharing your truth RagingVortex.
I am sorry that you don't feel happy or content.
It's okay not to know what you want in life. That's the stage before finding out! I still have quite a lot of figuring out to do in my life too.
This may sound counter-intuitive but you could try something...think about what makes you feel sad, disappointed, or hurt in your life. Write it down. That can actually be a way to figure out your values if you reverse the items on the list. For example, if you feel sad when you spend a birthday alone...that means you value connection with others...so you could make it a goal to build some new connections. Or if you feel hurt or disappointed when you friend talks about their wonderful partner, that likely means you would value having a partner of your own. Do you see what I mean? Also, feel free to PM me any time. For a hug or to share an idea or anything. Peace to you and thanks again for writing
