When I hated life, I was making more than I am now, worked for no one... had a beach avenue apartment downtown Vancouver, had reached my goals actually. And thus, I was bored.
I felt I had reached the end of everything I wanted to do and therefore had nothing left to live for.
Turns out I was quite wrong as the goals I had were good goals but not really what I wanted in life. For most people, goals are given to you by friends, family.. society. Be successful, get an education, make money, own nice stuff.... and we strive for them because that's what life has taught us we should do.
When I started a family, I had people berate me for losing my freedom, can't travel, can't just sleep with random women, can't just do what ever I want... that's what someone else thinks they need to be happy. Maybe for them it is and good for them for finding it.
I know now what I need to be happy, to want to live my life every day. I just had to find out what it was.
