It's hard to give too much advice without coming off as incredibly pretentious, so I'll keep it brief. I don't know how much of an effort you've really put into your SC2 dream. A lot of people say that they want to be a pro-gamer, but not everybody puts in the time and effort required. If you are within the minority who has put in the time, but it just isn't working out, it may be time to back off of that goal. You seem to be recognizing that it isn't a likely possibility and that's honestly a good thing. Having all of your eggs in one basket can lead to serious tunnel vision. You'll be so fixated on one thing that isn't working and you miss out on many great parts of your life because they have been made out to seem worse. You may feel like you've placed yourself in a situation where you are "failing." You're not. You CAN'T fail at achieving happiness for this amazing reason right here: On September 10 2012 10:34 travis wrote: it's not something you go and get it something you already have just change your attitude and be happy it's just attitude, view Failing would require happiness to be a thing that you find. If you don't find it, you fail, and you're not happy. Well, happiness isn't a thing that you go get. It's something that you find within yourself and your attitude. Fill your life with stuff you like and find enjoyment in those things. My mom gave me some of the best advice about happiness (specifically when it comes to a job/work): Everyone says, "Find a job that you love, and you'll never work a day in your life" Well, the fact is, it's not practical for everyone. Some people can make a living doing what they love for a living, but some (if not most) can't. The problem is: the things that many people love most won't earn you any money. And THAT'S OKAY! You don't have to love your job. Your job isn't your life. Fill your life with things that you love, and your job, suddenly, isn't that important. I know that you didn't state that your job is the main source of your unhappiness. But a feeling of unhappiness from a lack of a dream job seems like a similar issue. I'm neither an expert nor someone even somewhat qualified to be giving advice to someone in your position, but hopefully this helps a little! | ||

Or maybe that's just depression talking. Cheers. This is why I'm glad I'm not smart. All the smart people I know are depressed. You think to much. For me it's pretty simple. A blowjob, a beer, and a good Lions football game. | ||

Yet ironically I see myself chasing after money until it kills me, because I'm a masochist that wants to keep working  | ||

I've had this name since high school wrestling. I was soo pissed when I saw the name of that movie. I don't know if you can check when my account was created but it was before that stupid movie. On that same note though and still a funny story, I did dance for a bacholorette party once. Me, my brother, and a bunch of his room mates danced for a local bar owners wife. He came back during our dance. Needless to say, we are all barred from life from that bar. Good times. | ||

I still try every day to find something like it or better. The only problem is that I don't think I'll recognize it until I lose it again. Such is life. | ||

I don't know why it is. My life's comfortable, financially stable to say the least, my gf is awesome... I'm just sad. But nobody really knows, because I fake happiness like a motherfucker with everyone I know because I don't need sympathy or help and I don't need to repulse anybody with negativity. Not sure what's wrong with me. You're all strangers though so it's ok | ||
