You all here are so amazing, thank you for helping. I would tag everyone that helped but I still kind of suck at the chans.
I think I've known what I've needed to do but finding the strength to do it is hard sometimes, and I haven't been sure where to start or what to do first. There's so much I need to do and want to do in life it seems insurmountable. It's much easier to make up some lame excuse to myself and not do anything.
I've been a voat regular for almost 4 years now, but I think I will move over here. They've taught me a lot, but I cannot stand the pessimism.
I was just typing out what an "Ideal version" of myself would do, in attempt to get help on what I should do first, and I think I've just come to a conclusion on what I should strive towards, besides daily maintenance. Working out, meditating, praying, cleaning, etc.
I've always wanted a hobby where I create something. I default to thinking of something like knitting, woodworking or something, but I've always wanted to learn how to cook well. I don't know why it took me until now to connect the dots that cooking is really creating something. I think of my moms fiancee, an untrained professional chef, and how he brings happiness to others with his amazing cooking, and I've always wanted to be able to bring others happiness like that.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fulfill that path?
Sorry for rambling
