Personally, volunteering is something I do that helps me fill that sort of void in my life. This summer I'm spending quite a bit of time helping setup and running run/walk events that help support various charities throughout the city I live in. It's only mid-way through June, but I've already made a couple new friends and have had an awesome time.

I don't make over 100k. I make a bit over 80k. But I do work a job I really enjoy with coworkers who are super awesome. The money I get, I'm not super rich nor will I ever be, but I pay my bills, having a steadily growing amount in savings and investments while having money on the side to buy a lot of nice things for myself and others.

Nothing in life is really free, but the cost isn't about moneys. It's about time. Whatever you do, it's your time that's being paid. No refunds. And as depressing as that may sound, it's actually a good thing. I feel I'm happy with my life because, even though I don't earn a lot of dollars compared to those here who earn 100k+, I spend my time well. Each day I wake up and think, "It's a new day. Another opportunity for something awesome to happen!" And I don't even remember the last time I went to sleep thinking, "Darn, I wasted my day." I plan things out and do my best to make each day fun. Almost anyone can do this, because you don't need to make so much money to make each day awesome. You just need the right attitude and a bit of planning. And it's soooo easy to start too. When I started, all I wanted to do each day was enjoy a good bowl of cereal, learn one new thing, and make at least one other person smile.

And I'm no expert in love, but to me it is that willingness to take that much valued time and sharing it with someone or something you really like to make things extra sweet. Like hugs or stickers or very good hot sauce. lol

@eternalmemory: As I've already shown, I also made $100,000+ dollars a year but as you will see as you progress through life that money isn't everything. Actually compared to being happy, it isn't even close.

While it is true that age really is just a number and it is life experiences that define our value and maturity, belittling others with every post shows something in itself. To be honest I was exactly like you when I was on this site before. Always putting other people down (except for fitness threads) and thinking I was better than them...but then I grew up and realized that I am them. While my personal problems and theirs differed, now I see we all have problems that we need help with. We also all have strengths that push us past our struggles. To compare yourself to others as a mature person, is belittling to yourself. One day you'll realize that.

I think you are confused between love and being in love. Love is the means that binds us to family, God(perhaps), friends. It is a feeling of happiness and enjoyment being around them. Being in love is different, it is not only the feeling of happiness and enjoyment of self but wanting the person you're in love with to always be in that state. At that point it is not a trade, you won't do something for him/her and expect something in return. But knowing that you made her smile or lifted her mood even for a slight moment your effort becomes worth it. In essence being in love, is becoming one person. An extension of self that their moods reflects your own and vice versa. I realize that you may be closed minded to this experience, but perhaps after you've experienced it yourself, you may have a change of heart.

Not too sure where you are assuming I implied you were a neglected child but if so my apologies. If it makes you feel better to be a little bit more open minded towards my comments, I'm 29. Or in basil time, I'm a Grandpa.

@eternalmemory: Stop boasting about your achievements as if anyone besides you actually cares, especially your chest and height, it is completely irrelevant to even bring up on this thread, and the others, I don't mind you wanting to help this thread starter, but it's like you take every reply as a chance to show off and add so much useless things into your comment in the process.

@onlinemusic: While I don't disagree with eternal about taking charge of her life. Her down talking you is absurd. You and Ziggy bring each other up. Besides she's only 22, she's a child herself; especially the way she speaks about love. So don't take her seriously, quotes or not.

@zigen: Do you ever lie, lust, or break any other commandment? lol We all sin, to sin is to be human. Besides, you're an adult. You need to do what makes you happy in life.
