My cup runneth completely empty. And there are no wells.

r/

I no longer have hope for a better future. That must be a child’s dream. True love is only for books and relationships are for ease and routine.
At this point I’m hopeless connecting with another is impossible and I will resign myself to the truth. There are only two ways to deal with life. 1. Dredge trough in pain and agony with a smile on your face. Because that’s what’s expected. Or 2. Die.
My cup runneth empty 2night.

    This will sound cliche. But I realized the authenticity in it only recently. Hope you’re in the right mindset to look into it.

    Did you spend most of your life waitin’
    On a fairytale read between pages?
    Did you huddle up close to your boombox radio
    Is somebody waiting on the same song?

    And we sold our souls on the fantasies
    We found in records and black and white movies
    And I used to beg June to burn me alive
    If that would get me anywhere but here

    Now Etta James, hit that symphony
    ‘Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
    And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
    ‘Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
    20 long years away from your heart
    ‘Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
    My love is in my arms

    And it was impossible to hold on to anything
    In my chest was a lonesome, growing cyclone
    I kept pictures tucked up into the rear view above
    To the sirens all lost in the ocean
    And all we wanted was absolutely everything
    Like foolish, hungry young lions
    I was lost and alone, a million light years from home
    It was nobody’s fault but mine

    And was there a hole in your life?
    Did you kill to keep warm but somehow never quite satisfied?
    Do you feel like it’s always time to go?
    And it’s always wrong, and it’s always off
    And it’s hard to know, which heart to hold
    Now do you lie to someone? Is someone else on your mind?
    Do you lie to someone with me on your mind?

    Now Etta James, hit that symphony
    Cause she drips through my blood like a remedy
    And for most of my sad life I figured I was gonna die alone
    ‘Cause I just burned in the curve of my scars
    20 long years away from your heart
    ‘Til finally, finally, my love is in my arms
    My love is in my arms

    Etta James, Etta James
    Etta James, it’s been a long time coming
    Etta James, Etta James
    Etta James, it’s been a long time coming
    (At last, at last) Etta James, Etta James
    Etta James, it’s been a long time coming
    (At last, at last) Etta James, Etta James
    Etta James, it’s been a long time coming
    I could’ve said my love was coming ‘long

    Feel you, but there’s a reason you’re here. Hate to think you’d have to do 27 years again to get to this point to try and find what it is. When one door closes another opens, hope you find the will and power inside to set your intentions to what you want and step through and find it on the other side of the threshold.

    Life can often feel overwhelming, with so many outside influences like family, friends, and our surroundings shaping our experiences. But it’s important to remember that you hold the power to make your own choices. Just like in the movie Captain Phillips, you have the ability to steer your own course, regardless of challenges that may arise. Change begins with you. Take a moment to shift your mindset—breathe deeply, try a cold shower, or go for a run or a walk. Embrace whatever comes your way, and find joy in the journey. It’s natural to face struggles, but through those moments of suffering, we can uncover our strengths and resilience. You are not alone in this; we all have our battles, and together, we can grow stronger✌🏾🙏🏽🧡 Live – Love – Learn

    Love will not blossom with two broken people or one broken and one whole. Heal and grow first. Otherwise, that is a lot of responsibility on the other person to make you complete. Healing takes time, it is painful but the lessons and clarity along the way are worth it.

    You’re focusing on wrong things. Most of things in world are not in our control. One thing that’s definitely in our control is personal development. Let the badass version is you dominate!

    Stop lying to me and yourself.

    True love is not just found, it’s grown like a plant. Forget about diamonds in the rough. True love starts out as a little sprout. You tend to it, water it and focus on building it. Alas it will fail a lot. You will have lots of dead sprouts, but they keep getting bigger and bigger before going.

    So keep sowing the little seeds. The next one could be the big, blooming tree you so desperately want to hang a little kid sized swing from.

    Medication should help. It sounds like you have unbalanced chemicals. That shit happens and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It might take a few try’s but the right medicines are probably out there. There’s too much pleasure to be had in this life my friend to only feel pain. Better to get kinky with loving the pain than tear yourself up about it.

    You may think you’ve endured the pain of a lonely life for a very long time. But, at 27, you have not.

    I’m over twice your age, and I can identify with the mindset you’re in.

    I’ve lived like a king, been with some amazing women, and I’ve been hospitalized twice to prevent myself from committing suicide.

    If you kill yourself, you eliminate any chance of your life ever turning around and becoming amazing.

    My suggestion: since you feel you have nothing to lose, throw caution to the wind and set out on an adventure he never thought you would take.

    The only thing keeping you from going and finding a life that could make you glad to be alive, is the fear of not having enough creature comforts while you are on the journey.

    Think about it. You would rather kill yourself than go hungry, be too hot or be too cold, and sleep under the stars or in a homeless shelter while seeing what the world has to offer.

    Doesn’t that seem silly?

    Go to Islam. Islam translates to submission to Allah (The creator of existence). I identified with your post almost completely. So I chose Islam by the mercy of Allah, and life’s been far better than I ever could’ve imagined.

    The person that said do something nice for somebody every day a lot of truth in it. I have excepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and I don’t have the hopeless feeling that I had before! If you have a Bible, please start reading it. Start in the new testament. Try to find a church preaches the word of God of the Bible. You go into a new church and nobody greets you, don’t go back! You are somebody! You are not a mistake you are created in God’s image. Start praying to God in Jesus name. Pour your heart out to God! Tell him exactly how you feel! If you except him as your Savior go to a Bible believing church and tell someone there. Look up Churches and ask someone to pray with you. If they don’t strike them off your list and move on. God has a place for you!

    I would like to recommend two books that changed my life. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer. I’d recommend the audio books. I get the kindle and add Audible narration so I can swap between listening and reading. Listening to the authors narrate, helps catch the idea of the books, because you can hear it in their voices. I’ll even pay for it, if funds are tight, as long as you listen to the Power of Now tonight and let me know how feel tomorrow.

    Build a drill and dig for water. Figure out what you lack to connect with others and acquire it. It’s a rough world, nothing is given for free, if you want a full cup, implement the machinations to fill it yourself.

    I feel the weight in your words, and I just want to say—your truth is seen. When the cup is empty and the wells feel dry, sometimes it’s not about finding hope or love right away… it’s about simply being allowed to feel without needing to fix it. There’s no shame in exhaustion. No weakness in being worn down by life.

    But also—emptiness isn’t the end. It’s a pause. A space that can one day hold something new, even if you can’t see it right now. I work with people walking through this same ache, not to force change, but to hold space for what’s real and see what quietly stirs beneath the surface. If you ever want to talk, I offer discovery calls here.

    You don’t have to carry it alone.

    ngl don’t know if i should say this but wtf is that writing style bro you are not from 18th century England. anyways jokes aside i feel you should really talk to someone and see if they can have some insight about what is happening rn. if you can’t figure it out yet you might later and i want you to just believe that there will be something for you.

    How are you? How do you feel right now? What’s on your mind?

    Honestly I think one of the best things to get through this is to find someone you can openly talk to about everything. It doesn’t have to be a friend or family member, you could call a helpline, reach out on here, find a therapist, do some talking therapies.

    The thing you need the most is to just let everything out. Venting in situations like this is good and part of the healing process. You will NOT feel like this forever – this is just a passing feeling no matter how strong it feels.

    Even if you can’t find someone to talk to (you definitely can though) – write everything down. Even if it’s just in the notes on your phone or physically with pen and paper. Just let it all out.

    If you want to talk privately I’ll listen – but just know you’re not alone and it does get better. This is just a really shitty, but passing moment.
