I suppose I have too much time on my hands but I often just sit and think about really overwhelming things. It's good in a way because I'm getting to know myself but it's also kind of dangerous because I could drive myself crazy. A common thought is that I don't really serve any purpose on Earth. I feel I belong somewhere else. I'm just getting by here. It's not really fulfilling, satisfying. I feel like there's another world out there. Somewhere I'd feel more at home, somewhere I'd serve more purpose. I've tried explaining this feeling to my closest friends but nobody has felt the same and think it's really strange. Does anyone else ever feel like this?

    I know how you feel. I often feel the same way. But I realized something a long time ago, everyone has a purpose. The challenge that is life is finding who it is. Your reason for waking up and breathing. It doesn't have to be a lover or spouse it can be anyone. A best friend a child a parent a sibling or all of the above. You'll feel comfortable in this world once you've found someone like that. I used to feel like you all the time and sometimes I do now but I found someone. Whenever I'm with this kid I know what I'm doing I know where I'm going and why I'm going there. I know what to say I know what to do and yeah it's overwhelming but I'd be lying if I said this kid was nothing to me cause the truth is they're everything. I feel lost when this kid isn't by my side I feel just like you do. Don't give up! Like I said it can be anyone.

    I think I know exactly how you feel. I don't believe I belong here. I'm not depressed and I'm not a teenager going through some angsty stage. I just genuinely feel as though this planet/plane of existence/ reality or whatever you want to call it is not where I am meant to be. 

     

    I get feelings of anxiety about the world as though something is about to happen. I don't mean all that 2012 stuff. I don't really know what I mean, I just get a feeling something is about to change. I've felt like this since I can remember. It's very confusing. 

    Does this sound familiar to you at all?
