It's never too late man. Don't give up hope.

Too late to what?

Well you say nothing works out for you. Those are just bumps in the road.

Try to see it as it all happens for a reason. And you're still alive, it doesn't always have to be downhill and it always won't be.

If you can try to find the positives in every situation, it won't be as bad.

I believe more in coincidence than fate...i think i took your first post the wrong way...thanks
Not that nothing works out...to every beginning theres an end and an end a new beginning.. (not in every case,but you get what im saying)
Saw that movie captain fantastic last night...pretty good...
Guess everyones different and my beliefs leave me on the streets..i conform to a point in society at the very least where i have self respect and can eat but dont want what other people have..until im walking down the road in the rain passing by houses with the lights on smells of food and families in the window...when im out i want to be in when im in i want to be out....

Christ, the Buddha, and many others thought desire, or attachment, to be the worst possible thing to happen to people...I dont know about that. I'm not frikkin enlightened but I do see desire as perhaps an Achilles heel...Maybe getting rid of it would help many people including myself.

If ''desire'' is translated as greed, lust, or covetousness then perhaps it really is the root of all evil. If we stop wanting things we dont have...then what happens?

@Cantchangeme isn't that how it always is? wanting what you can't have? I mean, people see you traveling and wish they could do that and you're looking in seeing someone with a home and you want that. The grass always looks greener on the other side, right?

I used to feel this way too. I just became grateful for everything I do have at the moment and it will eventually change anyway, because it always does and change is always great or how will we ever grow, right? I'm personally just teaching myself to live in the moment and enjoy it.

I hope we're on the same page now....

I don't know the details of your story but it sounds like you lack a sense of fulfillment, which I do know a lot about. And that's a really bleak, depressing existence, but I don't have to tell you that. What I can tell you is that enjoying life comes from the inside, not from what you have.

people have found happiness and peace in pretty shitty places without much, I think gratitude has a lot to do with it. I look at it like this, being grateful for the good parts of your life makes positive energy, and for reasons beyond my understanding, that positive energy attracts positive people and creates positive things.

everyone gets their happiness and peace in their own way. Some choose their family, some people choose religion, others meditate or find spirituality, the latter being my choice. Sitting or lying down with my eyes closed, with or without music, and just appreciating and feeling peaceful and realizing all the shit I worry about is totally meaningless refreshes me and gets my mood up.

so, idk man, what I wrote is probably bullshit to you because I know when I felt the way you did, it sounded like bullshit to me, but, for reasons which are too long to explain, I just ended up giving in to spirituality and I'll be damned I'm a new person. So find what works for you, a house won't fill the void as you already know.
but don't kill yourself, feeling like dying and then one day not feeling like dying and liking life is a crazy awesome feeling and you will look back at this time and just be so happy you don't feel that way. I tried to kill myself twice in a week last month and after the second failure, I said fuck it, if I gotta live then I'm gonna be happy
