Zacharydoo, life can be so hard and discouraging at times that it can seem like a never-ending battle instead of the great gift it really is, and I'm sure Triple Bogey meant only the best for you in trying to help you think of things that, if you could possibly see your way clear to do some of them, would help bring you a happier life.
Make every step you take, a step "up". Do something every day, however small it might seem, that will move you forward in the direction of your goals.
If you just aim for progress, not perfection, I think soon things will start snowballing -- the more progress you make (even if it seems very small to you to start out with!) - the more you'll
want to make.

So I just turned a milestone age not too long ago and now, I'm starting to feel the clock. My parents are telling me the pickings get slimmer as you age and my familial relationships and friendships are growing more distant naturally. I'm picturing 5 years down the line with some fear.
Has anyone here found love late in life?
I'm feeling very down. I'm still working on myself to become a better person. I wonder if I can still be called a late bloomer...
Edamame721, I'm sorry you've been feeling down and I hope you're feeling much better now.
From my little limited observations in life so far with the people I know and know of, love can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time! I've known of older people in their 70s who found each other and are as happy together as teenagers! Please don't get discouraged at all! Just relax and enjoy life and enjoy new friendships and exchanges! Do something nice for someone else, something simple and positive, send a card, phone someone to say you're thinking of them, just anything! Be open to meeting new people! Be rich in your friends!
We never know what is around the next corner, and oh what a difference a day can make! <3
