I find my life has no point currently.

Yeah, I planned a Saturday in Seattle. I even found a Thai place that serves pink soup, a Thai street delicacy that many places do not serve.

Looking forward to hearing about your adventure when you get back.

Boy oh boy ,,most of the above positive suggestions do a good job of making great suggestions, and Love Thai Food must look up Pink Soup. But seriously ,if you can get away from screen time.. It will pay the best benefits, I feel . A physical task that you could develop an interest in . Could be a benefit . Or even if you need extra push, sign up for a class, for something physical that may benefit you. Or grow to be a side job. or just help people?

It looks like it might have to wait until a week from now. Freeway closures for road construction. I will go to the farmer's market instead, see some free live music, pick up some kombucha and some fresh produce, watch the people for a while, wave at every dog passing by.

Dang it.
But a good backup plan.

...I want to feel like I am a part of something larger than myself. I want a sense of direction. I want to feel like I am helping others in one way or another....

I think nearly everyone feels the same way. I know many experts consider this desire to be connected to something outside oneself to be a biological need. Throughout history, most people met this need through family. Before modern transportation, extended families often lived together or near each other so that most people always felt connected to others who loved them. I find that nothing comes close to the benefits of good relationships and rewarding social interactions. Studies have found that the happiest people had good, close relationships while depressed people tended to be alone and feel socially disconnected.

It's unfortunate that limited transportation makes it difficult for you to meet and interact with others. I too have found that TV, the Internet, and other non-social activities can't make me happy. I wish I had good advice to offer. I just wanted to say I understand, feel similarly, and hope things get better for you.

Excellent back up plan ....sounds lovely . Sorry on the Freeway..When younger had learned of the lovely past time of people watching. Found often, that I was afraid of people being anxious about my watching them. So often either dark or blue coloured glasses and a cup of coffee became part of the routine , for the watching part. And lovely ,you were able to add healthy food shopping and music,to your experience.
