How to live when doesn't have purpose? by kadinmaxx

I don't know anything I intend to do in my future :( I live that I don't have purpose. I feel I'm useless, I've never done anything well in the first time, always more than 2 times. Life is not only sad but also boring :(

BenjaminVasosky

Actually, life without plans is adventurous. If you can take risks and care less about your future, everything will eventually fall into place. Life will even be more disastrous if your plans don't work out. So, cheer up and move on. Read More
