We spend almost our whole life trying to figure everything out instead of enjoying what we have. It's not until you're on your deathbed that you finally realize what your life was all about. But by then it's too late. We don't realize how precious life is anymore. We try to find a further meaning. We seem to forget that your life is exactly that. YOURS!! No one else. What you do with your life is all up to you. You can be guided. You can receive help. But it all comes down to it being your choice. You don't even have to read all this. But if you do, I can only give you advice. And my biggest advice that I've come to listen to with my life is simple, especially when things are getting out of hand and stress overwhelms me; Stop whatever you're doing. Take a step backwards, take 5 deep breaths, then look up at the sky and close your eyes. Think about where your life is at. Think of friends and everyone who has been with you in your journey so far. You're never alone. So I say again: We spend almost our entire life trying to figure out our lives when in reality, you need to enjoy it. Start enjoying your life. You deserve it.
