When you feel like life has shit on you and you might as well give up... Don't!
You gotta get that strength and motivation, to not give up, to not quit, even if you feel like falling flat on your face. Just pull that shit out of you.
Couple days ago I accidentally inhaled a lot of bleach fumes, thought I was permanently brain damaged LOL. Fuck that, I stayed positive and instead of pissing and moaning I just said Well, what is there else to do but move on?
No matter what happens, know that you have a choice in how to react to the situation. Unfortunately it took me a long time to realize this. Fatalism can be a bitch.
I mean. Sometimes life presents you with the question of -- why did I or him or her get dealt such a shitty hand? Like the man stuck in a wheelchair since age 3 who can only communicate with grunts and horrible moans. He will never have most of the experiences as the majority, will always be in pain.. Does HE choose his reality?
This is the last philosophical dialect I've been having with myself. Is it our choice to be happy, or is happiness a result of outer experiences of bodily health and achieving goals and such like that.
This brings me to the next point. Culture...
I navigate reality by using the channels culture has provided to me, I've been through all the different education institutions, had jobs, had a girlfriend, etc etc. is it a weird thing to ask if this is less or more meaningful than other ways to live outside culture?
by meaning I mean what is most fulfilling. Do you (whoever is reading this garbage) feel like you have a unique special purpose, or a cultural purpose, or is our purpose simply biological?
None of this shit is important, nothing will be solved in this thread. (I'm making this easy for you guys)

I don't know 
I find it most pacifying to try and be in a witnessing perspective on my life. -Life is one big joke I think...It's not very funny though at times.
I don't think purpose needs to be applied to life, but in this case I'll play along. My purpose in life is not biological, at least not yet. I've avoided culture for the past few years and have focused on myself. I think I kind of understand myself and am now trying to integrate myself into culture, while still trying to figure out myself.
It's all very complicated I think...Simple when raised with properness at an early age...But sticky when you've let everyone else create you over the years and then you realize you aren't what you've been led to believe.

For me the only way forward is to give up. Quit. Drop out. Fuck the world. Burn bridges.
