Most days I sort of feel like I’m empty and I’m not really sure what to do about it. I want to be better and hopefully find some sense of direction, motivation, or fulfillment. I could definitely use some advice and help, please and thank you!

    The vast majority of people are wired to get a dopamine boost from helping others.

    Doesn’t matter how you do it, can be as inconsequential as noob sitting in a video game, or real world productive like volunteering at a soup kitchen.

    But it’ll help.

    Find somewhere you can volunteer. Doesn’t have to be with something you’re interested in, but it helps.

      I’ve been considering this a lot but really hesitate to commit for whatever reason. I think I’m worried I will not enjoy volunteering and then I’ll feel terrible about abandoning a good cause and failing at yet another thing 😕

        Start small; don’t commit to always being there; just do drop-ins. Or contribute to a github project. There’s lots of ways to volunteer that don’t involve running the program.

      You, specifically, having readers? Homie I know I’m not alone in following the bits of biography you’ve already posted with great interest. I’d read the fuck out of your memoir.

      Edit: read HurricaneLiz’s response. Lol, I’m one of those invisble fans they’re talking about, and I am rooting for you 😁

      Re: memoir, I like to think that each of us is some group of alien’s favorite TV show. That we all have invisible fans rooting us on. Like if they’re outside time and space they can just check out the Akashic Records and watch any of our shows and they’ll be like “omg I loved when you xyz that one time!” when they fan mob us after we die 😂
