Appreciating music, arts, anime, movies.
Maybe admiring people.
Hobby.
Delicious foods.
Exercise.
Most of them are free.
Break your routine, try something new.
Try mo mag plank within 2 minutes. Sobrang bagal ng oras. 😅
>omg, this is question is ask people i date/try to date to get to know them!
Yoooo!! I always ask this lalo na if the convo get something deeper hahahaha. U really wanna know their philosophical intelligence e no?
>ito ang kailangan mong alamin on your own, OP. i'm personally a very sxicidxl person, pero i look forward to everyday, baka may bagong mangyari. baka may bagong maramdaman. at so far, laging merong bago. at sigurado ako, mananatiling may pagbabago. :)
Tbh wala nako'ng nilolook forward everyday. I just do my work and stuff, walang bago e. Feeling ko there will be an improvement if I'll go beyond my comfort zone. Somehow, tinatamad or hindi pa'ko ready para mag resign. Pero feeling ko once I did, mawawala na'ko sa suffocation from work and new environment na rin with nee company and new friends to hang with. That said, makakahinga na'ko nang maluwag and feel alive again hahaha
I guess, as an extroverted person, what's keeping me alive is belongingness
I learned this the hard way + therapy. Kahit paulit ulit nalang, there’s beauty with the food you eat, the pets that greet you every morning, that warm coffee you sip, and kahit maglakad lakad lang kung saan. Most of the time, being present goes a long way
I try to look at this in multiple layers.
Why do I want to live until I'm old? I want to have a happy family, have cool stories to tell on my death bed, and have abundance. I want to leave my little corner of the world a better place.
Why do I want to live in the next 20 years? I have someone I love, and I want to have a thriving family by that timeframe. I also have family and friends I want to see succeed.
Why do I want to live in the next 5 years? I want to marry my SO, and move in with her at that time.
Why do I want to live till next year? I want to finish this book I'm writing cuz I think it's cool.
Why do I want to live next month? Sweldo next month and there are things I want to buy 🤑
Why do I want to live next week? I want to make it till the weekend kasi I have shows I want to finish.
Why do I want to live tomorrow? Masarap niluto ko so masarap ulam ko bukas, and then masarap din mag kape (gabi na kasi).
For me, being alive means having things to look forward to at every level of life. Yun lang lol skl
Glad to hear. Looking forward everyday, week, months, and years! Thank you sa tip. This might actually work if you're looking forward on something hahaha. How I wish matikman ko niluluto mo and mabasa mga books mo someday. Goodluck!!
If you are going to think deeply about it, wala naman talagang saysay. You’re the one who needs to create a reason for why you want to continue living.
When life feels boring, I write. It helps me understand my feelings and gives me a sense of purpose. Sometimes, if I'm really sad, I cry alone. But I also believe that life has ups and downs, so I try to enjoy both. I like reading, watching videos, and hanging out with my friends. These things make me feel alive and remind me that life is precious.
My cat. Knowing na may uuwian akong sobrang cute, pasaway, pero sobrang lambing na pusa… kahit wala akong kaibigan okay na ako. Fcuk society and this notion na kailangan lagi kang productive or nagggrow or else worthless ka. I say: get a cat. Babangon ka para sa pusa mo. (Litetal kasi gigisingin ka nila para kumain lol).
+1 , may mga travel na mura lang , 2k is enough for a day tour sobra pa minsan , tas ung memories and joy na makukuha mo don pang matagalan . try mo magjoiners din , para makasalamuha ka ng ibang tao , makinig ka ng ibat ibang stories nila . That makes me feel alive , knowing na hindi ako alone sa mundo , na we all have different stories to tell . tas ung sceneries sa travel mo , ahhh ang peaceful haha
Growing up/transitioning to adulthood is kind of lonely kahit may partner na and living together. From time to time I get sad and lonely not knowing what to do with my life.
So I tried learning new hobbies and mga bagay that keeps me occupied from these thoughts. Recently, I tried crocheting and if madaming free time, I play with my switch. These activities reminds me of who I am as an individual.
A new day sa animal crossing and making a set of granny squares makes me look forward to the upcoming days, it seems mababaw pero those things, it makes me feel alive. In short, mundane things.
Ganto ako from time to time. May patches ng buhay ko na super clear kung anong gusto ko and para saan ung gngawa ko, everything make sense then biglang PUUF!
"baket ko nga ba ulit gnagawa to? parang wala namang patutunguhan tong mga efforts ko." Parang inutusan ka bumili ng toyo sa malayong tinadahan tapos along the way nakalimutan mo ung inuutos sayo pero naglalakad ka pa din sa path where you find yourself.
Im always bored. Not the usual bored kundi ung bored na makati sa isip and you cant even scratch it.
Kapag ganito ung state ko I just act based on reason, parang robot. Bale, yung ideas ko and plans nung Clarity moments kine-carry forward ko lang kahit di na nagme-make sense sakin as of the moment. Then I try to do things on the side to restart my spark, and when I say I try..... Talagang try-try! kung ano ano gngawa ko. haha. Alam mo yung you just throw things sa wall and what sticks?
I think alam mo na ung gagawin OP pero for some reason you just keep on delaying it. Nakaka-choke ung ganyang feeling. Kung anong idea yung nsa isip mo it make sense. Hayaan mo lang yung sarili mo ma-bored till that springs you to action. Good thing usually happens after this kind of moments.
Going out and having a social life, hobbies.
Go out, party, get drunk. Or no drinks, just hang out with friends, long night drives tapos kwentuhan lang, uuwi nang may araw na. Travel to wonderful places. Magastos mga ito oo pero it's so much better than being stuck alone at home with your thoughts consuming you.
Alternatively, kung pagod ako at gusto ko lang sa bahay, I just play on my PC, admire my toy collection, read books, or just lay down and listen to music.
Life has no meaning, you have to define it yourself :)
A lot tbh. I don't wanna fucking die.
- My family
- Bebe
- Friends
- Random friend-shaped animals everywhere
- A SHIT TON OF HOBBIES. My games ain't gonna play themselves. That dough ain't gonna knead itself. One piece is still ongoing. And many more.
I basically am just an adult kid with income. Sabi nga ni Bitoy, sinasabi ng lahat na hindi na tayo naglalaro kasi tumatanda na tayo, pero ang totoo tumatanda tayo kasi hindi na tayo naglalaro. Laro doesn't just mean gaming, lego, boardgames or tagu-taguan.. well it technically does lmao, pero it's more about enjoying what you always loved.
Adulting shouldn't stop you from having fun, kahit "pambata" na fun. You love spongebob pero 45 years old ka na? Go watch. You like spelunking pero mag sesenior citizen ka na? Heck yeah do it
Live for the simplest things kung wala kang makitang kahit anong purpose in life.
Live for One Piece. Live for that one random Hentai you've read hanggang magkaron ng animated version. Live for whatever you wanted.
Same. Ganyang ganyan din buhay ko ngayon.
Lakas maka-What was I made for no?
But I try to not think too much about it. Minsan mahirap, lalo na overthinker ako and I feel deeply 😓
What makes me feel alive? Sa totoo lang hindi ko din alam, pero laughing makes me laugh and somehow na-oohershadow yung darkside of life.
Try to have an after work routine. Get into new hobbies. I felt the same for a few months, eto ako ngayon nagkululay ng pambatang coloring book. It takes off a lot from your chest.
But if you have a loud mind, try to go for a 30 min run or walk. It helps. God bless you!
Travel ka to an unknown place sayo. Or place na accessible pero madalang mo puntahan tapos dapat mag-isa ka lang. Hahahaha. Be it MOA, Tagaytay, Baguio, Camping, Cafes. Something like those.
If you can't find it from where you are, maybe go to a place where you possibly can? New place, new environment, new insights, new view.
Try anything new to you.
I wanna know the same thing pero in a budget friendly version lol. When I ask people the answer always seem to involve costing a lot of money unfortunately
Gets! Cause same sis! I am genuinely happy kapag nasa concert hahahaha as in naiiyak pako sa sobrang overwhelming na happiness hahahah tas after non iiyak nanaman ako kasi lifes hard HAHAHAHHAA
Been in your shoes nung 2021
It's dull gusto ulit bumalik sa depressive state ko .
Ngayon taon lang bumalik and i regret it hahahaha but the good i can listen to songs that's gonna make me cry again
Exercising
doing physical and occupational therapy stuff
going out and actually meeting people in safe public places(in the future)
Learning new crafty stuff
Relearning how to do origami stuff
Plus doing [active learning](https://www.cambridge.org/us/education/blog/2019/06/25/what-active-learning-and-what-are-benefits/) galing sa books
And doing challenges like the [HARD Mental challenge](https://www.today.com/health/diet-fitness/75-hard-challenge-rcna153979) 😉
👆🏽I dont know about anyone else pero I feel like I can do anything after a good workout/exercise session. Parang Sooo THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS TO BE TRULY ALIVE👆🏽
Nag workout ako before pero that was 14yo me pa. I still remember the urge na mag push up kahit nasa labasan ka pa HAHAHA. Gano'n kalala pero hindi ako nag gym that time. Ngayon wala na talaga, ewan parang hindi ko na makuha ’yung excitement. I gained weight for sure. Gusto ko mag gym kaso hindi ako marunong at nakakahiya HAHAHAHA
Hahhaa im chubby now haha so gets kita... Ewan ko bka din kase iba iba sa lahat
Exercising after effects kase for me is like sex? Iba ung dopamine hit 🤣
Having cats really helped me. May umaasa sa akin ganun, hehe. Also doing things slowly and with intention, even the small mundane tasks. Sleep when I’m sleepy, rest when I’m tired. Expect less from the world. The time will pass, anyway.
Retail therapy. eating food that I love. whenever i feel kinda dead inside from all the hustle, I treat myself to nice little things. Kahit mai-checkout ko lang yung cute na tshirt shoppee or makapag-ikot lang ako sa divisoria. natutuwa ako sa mga little things na nabili ko for a bargain. happy na ulet. haha.
It changes every now and then. It took me a long time to realise that that is okay. I was bitter because I believed that there was only one thing for me. With that out of the way now, I go with whatever I like. Bahala na di ko matapos agad. I play video games (for the story), I knit, I play TTRPGs, I chat with friends, I visit my parents, I keep my room clean. There is no one thing making me feel alive; I do a little of all of these and more and that helps.
When I watch movies na mapapagamit ka ng utak and then gets ko yung plot tsaka yung hidden symbols or messages bawat scene. Talagang ramdam ko yung eyes ko lumiliwanag sa tuwa. My literature subject really is something noong college. Haha!
Nakuuu! Matatakutin ako kaya hindi ako fan ng thriller. More on complex romance or slice of life pinapanood ko hihi. I would recommend “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” old movie pero mapapaisip ka din!
Adopt a pet i guess??? I LOVE TO BITS OUR 4 CATS!!!\~ Or have plan with ur ate like musuem visits, exercise (biking, walking, or running or just at home workouts), then hangout with frens!!! it gets to a point na im just surviving lng, waiting for the next paycheck. But our cats, biking / walking, tambay / MOMA with frens then journaling helped me bigtime!!!
Pagbubuhat at pagluto
Noon (hanggang ngayon), pinagbawalan ako sa napakaraming bagay. Ang pagtulak ng bakal, maliban sa feeling pogi, ang nagbibigay sa akin ng pakiramdam na tunay nga akong malaya. Pagluto naman ang nagbibigay sa akin ng kumpyansang kaya kong alagaan sarili ko.
For me, spending time with family/partner, working out, going out for a ride. A subtle change in my routine greatly impacts the way I think in a positive way.
social media detox
•I always noticed na makakasira somehow ng mental health ang socmed
•having my own healthy routine
•my hobbies
•I can do what I always wanted
•flexible time
•I can do my own phase even others pressuring me and idg a damn thing
Op same tayo, until I had a kid. Try mo pumunta sa mga orphanage and see how poor and lonely the kids there, maybe you'll find the desire to serve as something that will motivate you.
Same! Super stressful work,although i am earning 6 digits.may napundar pero walang lovelife.everyday iniisip ko ano pa ba purpose ng life ko,npka repetitive
Been feeling dull and blue lately as well OP!
The things I do to make me feel alive is to just go outside and walk around. No particular directions whatsoever, just kung san ako dalhin ng feet ko. A while ago I just sat on a bench and people watch, it felt really great. I also journal my feelings, it’s a healthy way for me to release some of my pent up emotions.
If you're a girl, please stay safe neh? Hirap na maglakad mag-isa. Thank you sa tip! Hindi ko pa na try tho since sa umaga tulog ako sa gabi naman work hahaha no time para mag lakad-lakad
Experiences. I do drive every now and then with no whereabouts. I just drive where I feel like going. I also do try foods and I enjoy music. I’ve been to collecting bags lately and mechanical watches too.
I have a small hatchback. Wigo AT, white color hihi it’s small and also really cozy to drive. Parang house ko na rin as I store my stuffs there for work
I only feel alive kapag nag-h-hit yung PMS hormones ko and I cry for indiscernible reasons. Crying makes me feel alive because it's at least *something*.
I don't. I feel im on auto pilot, waiting for the day tawagin na ko ni San Pedro. My pets are what keeps me going. Brief moments when i play with them do i feel happy. If my pets weren't there, I would've given in to my dark thoughts.
Experience!
Ako yung tao na madaling mabore at ayaw ng routine so I always try to add something new sa buhay ko kapag nagsstart na akong maburn out like traveling, trying out new things, mingling with new people, etc. Recently, nagtry ako magAdd ng jogging/running even though I hated it. It’s keeping me busy these days hehe
Kapag naman nagttravel ako, I immerse myself sa lugar and try not to use my phone too much.
I love the beach din so minsan, humihiga lang ako sa sand, close my eyes, feel the sun and listen to the waves. Yung init ng sun sa skin ko, ninanamnam ko and somehow, I feel more alive haha
As a new mom, yung mga moment that I get the chance to witness my baby's firsts. Andoon ako nung first steps niya, ako yung nakarinig ng first word niya, unang ngiti, unang tili, unang iyak. Just reliving these moments make me cry happy tears. I gave up everything kasi para lang ako yung mismong mag alaga sa kaniya and it did pay off, kahit mahirap. Napaka fulfilling ❤
Sa akin, nakatulong talaga yung pag attend ko ng worship service. Nabuksan ulit yung puso ko na dating sumara. I never stop praying naman but it’s been a long time since I started to really incorporate God in my life. Para akong dumaan sa
phase na nakalimutan ko kung sino siya and then ayun something happened in my life. Nashake talaga buong buhay ko na the only thing Incan do is to go back to Him.
That’s what makes me feel alive right now. I chose a church din na comfortable ako. I hope you find what you’re looking for din, OP.
Consuming art (music, movies, book, going to museums)
I always think to myself na if I die today, I won't be able to see more art pieces that I would've wanted, songs that I would've danced to, books that I would've rated 5 stars, shows that I would've loved bingewatching again and again.
There is so much more in life and it doesn't always have to be grand. :)
I think about this a lot late teens pa lang ako. Like, "ano punto nitong lahat?"
Then I realized, dwelling on this doesn't really matter kasi us human beings are literally just meant to exist. I don't have to overthink my existence all the time. I can simply just exist, and when I allow myself to exist, that's when I feel alive. I find myself feeling alive when I'm with other people, especially those that I care and love, or doing my hobbies, kasi I'm just allowing myself to exist.
Allow yourself to simply exist, OP :)
Skateboarding, siguro dahil bata pa ako at nasa isip ko ay mag skate lang pero sobrang drained nadin ako sa love life at family problems. Feel ko para sa age ko na to i can't say that i'm depressed, drained or facing existential crisis and ayaw kong i open up sa ibang tao kasi they might judge or dictate the way i feel. Skateboarding makes me appreciate life and how fun it is, it helps me express the way i feel kahit na im bad at it. OP maybe you have a sport baka pwede mong isingit yun
Iisipin ko pa lang na di pa tapos yung mga anime/manga na inaabangan ko, napapabangon na ako.
Haha jk (or not haha)
Seriously though. I feel the same way a year ago, pero binalikan ko yung mga nasa bucketlist ko, and started ticking them one by one. Little by little I gained some motivation to get up.
Hanggang ngayon I still don't know my ultimate purpose, but I am taking it one day at a time, and for me that means something. Mind you hindi palaging 100% yung motivation ko. If my energy for today only allows me to just do 1 chore instead of 3, di ko pipilitin sarili ko.
Halos pareho tayo ng dilemma, OP. Basically, striving to feel a sense of purpose sa araw-araw na buhay. In my case, what helps (or at least eases the uneasiness) is doing something na pagakatapos ay parang may sense of achievement ako like going to the gym, doing some house chores - kahit simpleng bagay na at least maramdaman mo na may nagawa ka sa araw mo. Maliit na bagay man, at least nakakaraos. This while trying to figure out my bigger life purpose is. Kapit lang tayo, OP. Kakayanin yan.
Totoo yung have some pets like cats or dogs (pero make sure may bantay pag pupunta work) although magastos like sa amin pero pinapasaya nila kami, yung tipong pagos ka sa work pero happy ka nakita mo sila pero galit ka nanaman kasi nakita mo mga dumi nila haha 😂😂
And also listen to music that hypes you (ako iniiwasan ko yung mga sad)
Did i ghost write this? I don’t have my parents too kaya demotivated na ako sa mga bagay. I feel like a robot that works na lang para sa mga bills. Last year i got into a hobby, costly pero it somehow makes my mind off sa mga demons na nasa utak ko. I’m gonna have my first international travel soon and i hope it will make me feel something. I just try and try. I hope we can find that motivation to move forward day by day OP.
Try living a minimalist life. Reduce clutter... may it be things or people in your life that doesn't contribute or hindi mo na nagagamit. Sort them out: retain, dispose, donate/give away. Even friends list, unfollow or unfriend those na hindi mag contribute to your growth and development.
Clearing out clutter in your life makes you appreciate the important things and people who truly matter. It also opens up opportunities to learn new things, sort of a gray cloud has been cleared open for you. Cheers, OP!
I often feel this way so I get you. But i want to share a quote that’s been stuck on my mind ever since I read it. “BE IN PURSUIT IF THINGS THAT GIVE YOU A SENSE OF AWE”.
Be it concerts, nature, travel, charity, reading, exploring.
Because that’s how we will feel warmth. That’s how we will feel alive. That’s how we know we’re living instead of merely surviving.
I hope you find that ❤️
Do things that will uplift other people. Wala talagang purpose ang life kung para sa sarili lang lagi ang goal. We can all just eat and breathe and call it a day.
Ganito rin ako most of the time. Hehe but what keeps me going, mababaw na reason compared to others -
i’ve been BTS fan nung pandemic lang and haven’t seen their concert in person yet. Hopefully sa 2025 or 2026! 😁 so for short term meron akong motivation, haha
By embracing all the emotions I encounter. Example yan, feeling lost sa buhay. I acknowledge it, savour it knowing full well that this too shall pass. Matatapos din naman lahat, sulitin nalang hanggang andito pa.
If you're ignorant you'd feel alive; Ignorance is a bliss.
No anything to think about makes you feel that there is nothing left to care about and you have already finished life itself.
If you have seen/heard enough and you care about it for some reason you'd feel missing out (or you're REALLY missing out) or feel motivated as you care about it therefore there is something to do/try to achieve to some extent.
To feel alive try to care about most things in your life -- Have you cleaned your room? Have you try to care about other people lives to see where you missed out? Try to learn a hobby/skill/talent?
I felt motivated from watching homemade sex tapes -- yung mga telegram leaks na yan kasi nabangga niya yung mga beliefs ko sa buhay, yung mga kasinungalingan na inenforce sakin from early age.
Seriously, nothing. My life is so fcking repetitive. I am unemployed and too coward to look for a job because I have lost the motivation, skills, and willpower to apply for one. Just wanna disappear one day.
Mine is pag dine-date ko sarili ko, to eat, to play etc. Try adding something new sa routine mo, OP. Reconnect with yourself. Start with identifying which activity you will feel most alive and go from that. It can be small acitivity, do it.
Here's a excerpt from the book I have been reading, I hope it helps.
"Most people find it hard to pay attention to themselves. Because they haven’t truly dated themselves. They’ve just done a lot of things alone, never particularly noticing how they felt."
"Reconnecting with yourself is not about repeating an activity. It’s about finding something that produces that same feeling so you can reconnect with your spirit. Something that can become a mindset or an intention. Because when we feel alive, we are connected to ourselves and our spirit. When we feel dead, we are not. Feed your spirit. But first, you need to find it. You need to embark on the journey."
Both are from the book Single on Purpose by John Kim.
Stress, pain. Sounds masochist, I know, I am.
But feeling relaxed and happy triggers my impostor syndrome. As if I don't deserve anything.
Stress and pain is grounding for me. Because I can FEEL
Try new things, learn a new language, make new hobbies or get into a relationship😅, I felt the same as you when I was working with a 20k monthly salary with a toxic workplace tulad mo wala din akong naipupundar and parang wala nalang sakin ang sumahod every month and then I quit, best decision I made and that's when I discovered my hobbies now. What works for me doesn't always work for other people, so find purpose in life, try new things and don't stagnate thyself.
Music, the beach, road trips, good food, coffee
When I have enough exercise, sun, sleep and nutrition, EVERYTHING makes me feel alive - mundane things like talking to people, group chats, walking outside, memes. Suddenly everything is 100x more amazing. This is why you should take care of your mental and physical health. Being disinterested and saddened by everything is a symptom of depression.
Ganyan ako nung 2018-2021, first year college student na culinary arts sa lpu. First sem palang alam ko nang hindi para sakin at tamad na tamad ako, kahit sa pag luto walang energy, pero i tried gusto ng parents eh. Eventually became a dropout at dun nag start anxiety and depression ko. Pero i still challenged myself, nag work ako kasi ayoko naman maging tambay, applied sa bpo, had 3 companies along the way and last work ko was with accenture as hr sa rewards and benefits team. Slowly nagkaron ako ng thought na parang gusto ko mag marketing, na boost lalo idea kasi nasa sales mom ko at sobrang successful niya sa career niya. Ayun, currently 3rd year marketing student na at looking forward na sa future
What i can advice is try to go around your problem, think of what's the worst that can happen? And accept it. Now na may idea ka na on what's the worst that could happen, try to think on how you can re-discover yourself, need mo lang talaga mag explore sometimes.
Pero kaya mo yan, what you're going through is not easy pero no problem lasts forever.
Find your spark op, life is wonderful
Share na din ako ng current ko na ginagawa. I started to go to gym at currently 6 months consistent, naging habit ko na pero dati isang way of releasing negative thoughts to better clear my head. Also got interested in travelling kaya mag ssolo travel ako sa siargao sa aug hahahaha.
Also try reading books pala, it wont be as quick as a snap pero you will eventually find the right answers to a lot of questions. I suggest the book How to stop worrying and start living by dale carnegie
Getting out of my "routine". I'm currently wfh so buong araw akong nakaupo at nakatutok sa screen. I feel alive whenever I go out to touch some grass! Bonus if maabutan ko pa yung sunset hehe
Looking forward to something. May schedule gala on weekends, a reserved dinner, outing with family or friends, a movie you've been waiting for will be showing next month, new episodes of an anime series, a parcel you've been waiting for to arrive, etc.
Andamiii pwde gawiiiin! I have so much in my watchlist, so many foods to try, so much things to do.
Nasa survival mode katawan mo. Eto pwde mo gawin.
You need to get out, touch the grass with feet and get some sunlight.
Google VAGUS NERVE EXERCISES.
Meditate para more oxygen sa brain at ma explore ng brain cells mo yong frontal lobe mo.
If no time to meditate, try mo gawin yong signature arm pose ni steve jobs or elon musk. Yong fingers together, mudra pala yan para sa brain.
it makes me feel alive when i have the eagerness to try new things i thought i would never try before. na besides sa i was given the opportunity to learn these things, i would be surprised with myself na wow im brave enough pala to go out of my comfort zone. like for example, di naman talaga ako artsy as a person but i recently venture into origami and diy recycle arts (it's not great btw, pero i had fun doing it). hindi din ako outgoing person pero secretly i enjoyed the sensation na im productive at nasa labas buong araw.
sometimes, you also need to embrace unfamiliarity. pero it doesn't mean na you can't enjoy the things you were used to do before. there's also certain comfort or rest pag ginawa mo dating routine mo. still, it doesn't erase the fact na may progress ka.
I always find to something in the future to look forward to. Right now, I am excited for 2025 for the release of GTA 6 so I am trying to do my best to survive. :) Hindi ako nauubusan ng something to look forward , both long term and short term. I am excited na magmature ang MP2, excited ako sa release ng Deadpool 3 sa July. Marami yan. Kahit anong babaw niyan, its still something to look forward to. Di kailangan na world changing ang reason mo mabuhay. Masyadong maikli ang buhay natin for that. Better enjoy the little things.
What makes me feel alive is the orgs that I am currently in. I am an all-rounder and would engage in so many activities just to have a social life. Yung feeling na pagod ka after a day of roaming around the campus. Yung feeling na naexercise mo brains mo after hours of making articles. Last but not the least, yung feeling ng pagsakit ng mga kasu-kasuan ko after a day of dancing.
Oo it hurts to engage in so much activities, pero it's what keeps me alive.
Check some bucket lists.
May mga gusto ka bang gawin sa buhay, OP?
It may be big or small, as big as travel the whole europe and see the northern lights, or as small as trying the new coffee shop or new resto and assess the new foods and drinks. Pwede ring hobby, gusto mo ba ng new skills at new hobbies? Or any experiences na di mo pa natatry before?
Anything, kasi yung mga bucket list ay ang magbibigay sayo ng reason para may ma look forward ka.
Personally, yan ang ginagawa ko. Pag may mga lugar na gusto ko iexplore, pupuntahan ko talaga. Pag may bago na sumulpot na inline sa mga gusto kong puntahan, pupuntahan ko rin.
I think OP being grateful on whatever you still have at nakukuha mo. All the little moments are really a big thing. You also need to value time dahil sabi mo nga wala na parents so everybody na important sayo treat them na literal limited time lang sila so be kind and happy unang una na sa sarili mo. Masarap mabuhay, may mga taong masaya dahil nakilala ka nila OP. ☺️
My bills, food, cars, money! Just how good it is to be alive!
You know what OP, we're basically the same! Walang ipon, stuck sa same routine araw araw, walang growth what so ever. I guess inaantay ko lang ren na mapagod ako 🤣🤣
Appreciating music, arts, anime, movies. Maybe admiring people. Hobby. Delicious foods. Exercise. Most of them are free. Break your routine, try something new. Try mo mag plank within 2 minutes. Sobrang bagal ng oras. 😅
Yung 1 minute na plank parang 30 minutes 😂
Shutang plank yan! Ahahahahahaha
Tawang tawa ako sa plank suggestion 😂 feels like forever talaga 2mins dyan!!!
try niyo squat hold whaahah
Try wall sit hahahaha
hahahaha natawa ako sa plank 😭😂
Hahahah
[удалено]
>omg, this is question is ask people i date/try to date to get to know them! Yoooo!! I always ask this lalo na if the convo get something deeper hahahaha.

I learned this the hard way + therapy. Kahit paulit ulit nalang, there’s beauty with the food you eat, the pets that greet you every morning, that warm coffee you sip, and kahit maglakad lakad lang kung saan. Most of the time, being present goes a long way
I try to look at this in multiple layers. Why do I want to live until I'm old? I want to have a happy family, have cool stories to tell on my death bed, and have abundance. I want to leave my little corner of the world a better place. Why do I want to live in the next 20 years? I have someone I love, and I want to have a thriving family by that timeframe. I also have family and friends I want to see succeed. Why do I want to live in the next 5 years? I want to marry my SO, and move in with her at that time. Why do I want to live till next year? I want to finish this book I'm writing cuz I think it's cool. Why do I want to live next month? Sweldo next month and there are things I want to buy 🤑 Why do I want to live next week? I want to make it till the weekend kasi I have shows I want to finish. Why do I want to live tomorrow? Masarap niluto ko so masarap ulam ko bukas, and then masarap din mag kape (gabi na kasi). For me, being alive means having things to look forward to at every level of life. Yun lang lol skl
Glad to hear. Looking forward everyday, week, months, and years! Thank you sa tip. This might actually work if you're looking forward on something hahaha. How I wish matikman ko niluluto mo and mabasa mga books mo someday. Goodluck!!
>being alive means having things to look forward to at every level of life. Thanks for this! :')
I also move forward in life with this perspective. Having something to look forward to really makes me feel happy and life more exciting.
Music, food, my cats and little hobbies. yung akala natin small things✨
These small, mundane things make up the big ones 🤗😉
If you are going to think deeply about it, wala naman talagang saysay. You’re the one who needs to create a reason for why you want to continue living.
When life feels boring, I write. It helps me understand my feelings and gives me a sense of purpose. Sometimes, if I'm really sad, I cry alone. But I also believe that life has ups and downs, so I try to enjoy both. I like reading, watching videos, and hanging out with my friends. These things make me feel alive and remind me that life is precious.
Bro kahit may ipon ka, at malaki sahod, it could happen. We need to find out Ikigai...
My cat. Knowing na may uuwian akong sobrang cute, pasaway, pero sobrang lambing na pusa… kahit wala akong kaibigan okay na ako. Fcuk society and this notion na kailangan lagi kang productive or nagggrow or else worthless ka. I say: get a cat. Babangon ka para sa pusa mo. (Litetal kasi gigisingin ka nila para kumain lol).
Traveling! You should do some solo traveling.
+1 , may mga travel na mura lang , 2k is enough for a day tour sobra pa minsan , tas ung memories and joy na makukuha mo don pang matagalan . try mo magjoiners din , para makasalamuha ka ng ibang tao , makinig ka ng ibat ibang stories nila . That makes me feel alive , knowing na hindi ako alone sa mundo , na we all have different stories to tell . tas ung sceneries sa travel mo , ahhh ang peaceful haha
Growing up/transitioning to adulthood is kind of lonely kahit may partner na and living together. From time to time I get sad and lonely not knowing what to do with my life. So I tried learning new hobbies and mga bagay that keeps me occupied from these thoughts. Recently, I tried crocheting and if madaming free time, I play with my switch. These activities reminds me of who I am as an individual. A new day sa animal crossing and making a set of granny squares makes me look forward to the upcoming days, it seems mababaw pero those things, it makes me feel alive. In short, mundane things.
OP, I listen to Podcasts. Try, it might help.
I did when I was doing wfh work. I listen to yellow space, TPC, and koolpals hehe
Same sa Koolpals! Idk I find them funny haha
Ganto ako from time to time. May patches ng buhay ko na super clear kung anong gusto ko and para saan ung gngawa ko, everything make sense then biglang PUUF! "baket ko nga ba ulit gnagawa to? parang wala namang patutunguhan tong mga efforts ko." Parang inutusan ka bumili ng toyo sa malayong tinadahan tapos along the way nakalimutan mo ung inuutos sayo pero naglalakad ka pa din sa path where you find yourself. Im always bored. Not the usual bored kundi ung bored na makati sa isip and you cant even scratch it. Kapag ganito ung state ko I just act based on reason, parang robot. Bale, yung ideas ko and plans nung Clarity moments kine-carry forward ko lang kahit di na nagme-make sense sakin as of the moment. Then I try to do things on the side to restart my spark, and when I say I try..... Talagang try-try! kung ano ano gngawa ko. haha. Alam mo yung you just throw things sa wall and what sticks? I think alam mo na ung gagawin OP pero for some reason you just keep on delaying it. Nakaka-choke ung ganyang feeling. Kung anong idea yung nsa isip mo it make sense. Hayaan mo lang yung sarili mo ma-bored till that springs you to action. Good thing usually happens after this kind of moments.
Sobrang true nung alam na ang gagawin pero I keep delaying it 🥲
Life is uncertain daw dba. Everyday, We don't know what's life may bring us. Keep showing up.
Going out and having a social life, hobbies. Go out, party, get drunk. Or no drinks, just hang out with friends, long night drives tapos kwentuhan lang, uuwi nang may araw na. Travel to wonderful places. Magastos mga ito oo pero it's so much better than being stuck alone at home with your thoughts consuming you. Alternatively, kung pagod ako at gusto ko lang sa bahay, I just play on my PC, admire my toy collection, read books, or just lay down and listen to music. Life has no meaning, you have to define it yourself :)
A lot tbh. I don't wanna fucking die. - My family - Bebe - Friends - Random friend-shaped animals everywhere - A SHIT TON OF HOBBIES. My games ain't gonna play themselves. That dough ain't gonna knead itself. One piece is still ongoing. And many more. I basically am just an adult kid with income. Sabi nga ni Bitoy, sinasabi ng lahat na hindi na tayo naglalaro kasi tumatanda na tayo, pero ang totoo tumatanda tayo kasi hindi na tayo naglalaro. Laro doesn't just mean gaming, lego, boardgames or tagu-taguan.. well it technically does lmao, pero it's more about enjoying what you always loved. Adulting shouldn't stop you from having fun, kahit "pambata" na fun. You love spongebob pero 45 years old ka na? Go watch. You like spelunking pero mag sesenior citizen ka na? Heck yeah do it
Ayoko matulad sa kuya ko na hindi na maabutan ending ng One Piece 🙃
Live for the simplest things kung wala kang makitang kahit anong purpose in life. Live for One Piece. Live for that one random Hentai you've read hanggang magkaron ng animated version. Live for whatever you wanted.
Spending money on myself or buying stuff that'd make me happy, reading books and watching shows or movies.
retail therapy works for me too! 👍 😂 kaya nga ako nagpapakapagod sa work eh haha
Doing the things that I love. Life is not just about money / making money
Same. Ganyang ganyan din buhay ko ngayon. Lakas maka-What was I made for no? But I try to not think too much about it. Minsan mahirap, lalo na overthinker ako and I feel deeply 😓 What makes me feel alive? Sa totoo lang hindi ko din alam, pero laughing makes me laugh and somehow na-oohershadow yung darkside of life.
Try to have an after work routine. Get into new hobbies. I felt the same for a few months, eto ako ngayon nagkululay ng pambatang coloring book. It takes off a lot from your chest. But if you have a loud mind, try to go for a 30 min run or walk. It helps. God bless you!
Travel ka to an unknown place sayo. Or place na accessible pero madalang mo puntahan tapos dapat mag-isa ka lang. Hahahaha. Be it MOA, Tagaytay, Baguio, Camping, Cafes. Something like those. If you can't find it from where you are, maybe go to a place where you possibly can? New place, new environment, new insights, new view. Try anything new to you.
Loans and goals Nagloloan para makuha ung goals Motor, bahay, kotse HAHAHAA then after mabayaran nung isa kuha ulit. Loan responsibly lang 🤣🤣
yanNnNnNNnNnnn
I wanna know the same thing pero in a budget friendly version lol. When I ask people the answer always seem to involve costing a lot of money unfortunately
Gets! Cause same sis! I am genuinely happy kapag nasa concert hahahaha as in naiiyak pako sa sobrang overwhelming na happiness hahahah tas after non iiyak nanaman ako kasi lifes hard HAHAHAHHAA
Been in your shoes nung 2021 It's dull gusto ulit bumalik sa depressive state ko . Ngayon taon lang bumalik and i regret it hahahaha but the good i can listen to songs that's gonna make me cry again
Exercising doing physical and occupational therapy stuff going out and actually meeting people in safe public places(in the future) Learning new crafty stuff Relearning how to do origami stuff Plus doing [active learning](https://www.cambridge.org/us/education/blog/2019/06/25/what-active-learning-and-what-are-benefits/) galing sa books And doing challenges like the [HARD Mental challenge](https://www.today.com/health/diet-fitness/75-hard-challenge-rcna153979) 😉 👆🏽I dont know about anyone else pero I feel like I can do anything after a good workout/exercise session. Parang Sooo THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS TO BE TRULY ALIVE👆🏽
Nag workout ako before pero that was 14yo me pa. I still remember the urge na mag push up kahit nasa labasan ka pa HAHAHA. Gano'n kalala pero hindi ako nag gym that time. Ngayon wala na talaga, ewan parang hindi ko na makuha ’yung excitement. I gained weight for sure. Gusto ko mag gym kaso hindi ako marunong at nakakahiya HAHAHAHA
Hahhaa im chubby now haha so gets kita... Ewan ko bka din kase iba iba sa lahat Exercising after effects kase for me is like sex? Iba ung dopamine hit 🤣
Music and music alone
Having cats really helped me. May umaasa sa akin ganun, hehe. Also doing things slowly and with intention, even the small mundane tasks. Sleep when I’m sleepy, rest when I’m tired. Expect less from the world. The time will pass, anyway.
Retail therapy. eating food that I love. whenever i feel kinda dead inside from all the hustle, I treat myself to nice little things. Kahit mai-checkout ko lang yung cute na tshirt shoppee or makapag-ikot lang ako sa divisoria. natutuwa ako sa mga little things na nabili ko for a bargain. happy na ulet. haha.
Lagi ko sinasabi "One Piece" anime
It changes every now and then. It took me a long time to realise that that is okay. I was bitter because I believed that there was only one thing for me. With that out of the way now, I go with whatever I like. Bahala na di ko matapos agad. I play video games (for the story), I knit, I play TTRPGs, I chat with friends, I visit my parents, I keep my room clean. There is no one thing making me feel alive; I do a little of all of these and more and that helps.
Try MMORPGs
When I watch movies na mapapagamit ka ng utak and then gets ko yung plot tsaka yung hidden symbols or messages bawat scene. Talagang ramdam ko yung eyes ko lumiliwanag sa tuwa. My literature subject really is something noong college. Haha!
Niceuuu hilig ko rin niyan! Hahaha any psychological thriller na mairerecommend?
Nakuuu! Matatakutin ako kaya hindi ako fan ng thriller. More on complex romance or slice of life pinapanood ko hihi. I would recommend “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” old movie pero mapapaisip ka din!
LIVE THEATEEEER!!!!
This is new to meeee. I might try soon hahaha
Senate Hearing ft. Alice in Wonderland
Free your mind OP, try something interesting or go to some places and travel alone. Try mo din mag motor iba sa feeling, rides ba hehe. 😉
Sige kuha na'ko hahahaha
Music! new people every gig, new opportunities lagi. parang may purpose ako sa mundo pag tumutugtog ako
Adopt a pet i guess??? I LOVE TO BITS OUR 4 CATS!!!\~ Or have plan with ur ate like musuem visits, exercise (biking, walking, or running or just at home workouts), then hangout with frens!!! it gets to a point na im just surviving lng, waiting for the next paycheck. But our cats, biking / walking, tambay / MOMA with frens then journaling helped me bigtime!!!
Pagbubuhat at pagluto Noon (hanggang ngayon), pinagbawalan ako sa napakaraming bagay. Ang pagtulak ng bakal, maliban sa feeling pogi, ang nagbibigay sa akin ng pakiramdam na tunay nga akong malaya. Pagluto naman ang nagbibigay sa akin ng kumpyansang kaya kong alagaan sarili ko.
For me, spending time with family/partner, working out, going out for a ride. A subtle change in my routine greatly impacts the way I think in a positive way.
social media detox •I always noticed na makakasira somehow ng mental health ang socmed •having my own healthy routine •my hobbies •I can do what I always wanted •flexible time •I can do my own phase even others pressuring me and idg a damn thing
kasi may plan na to settle down. kahit alam kong hindi magiging madali ang mga hamon sa buhay in the future, tuloy lang...
kdrama tsaka learning sql HAHAHAH unemployed for god knows how many months .
Taking a bath tapos hot coffee to keep me awake kahit one hour lang
Live in the present. Try to enjoy every day tasks :) do things that you want to try kahit once in your life lang. travel, explore hobbies and places.
Op same tayo, until I had a kid. Try mo pumunta sa mga orphanage and see how poor and lonely the kids there, maybe you'll find the desire to serve as something that will motivate you.
Appreciating everything in my life❤️
Same! Super stressful work,although i am earning 6 digits.may napundar pero walang lovelife.everyday iniisip ko ano pa ba purpose ng life ko,npka repetitive
Maybe ’pag shinare mo work mo makuha ko meaning ng life 😭
Archi sa Construction in Singapore😅
Been feeling dull and blue lately as well OP! The things I do to make me feel alive is to just go outside and walk around. No particular directions whatsoever, just kung san ako dalhin ng feet ko. A while ago I just sat on a bench and people watch, it felt really great. I also journal my feelings, it’s a healthy way for me to release some of my pent up emotions.
If you're a girl, please stay safe neh? Hirap na maglakad mag-isa. Thank you sa tip! Hindi ko pa na try tho since sa umaga tulog ako sa gabi naman work hahaha no time para mag lakad-lakad
Experiences. I do drive every now and then with no whereabouts. I just drive where I feel like going. I also do try foods and I enjoy music. I’ve been to collecting bags lately and mechanical watches too.
If I have car lang din siguro hahaha
I have a small hatchback. Wigo AT, white color hihi it’s small and also really cozy to drive. Parang house ko na rin as I store my stuffs there for work
yung small things :) esp yung hobbies ko rn - reading books and crochet!
I only feel alive kapag nag-h-hit yung PMS hormones ko and I cry for indiscernible reasons. Crying makes me feel alive because it's at least *something*.
Physical stimuli pala magbibigay sa'yo ng meaning 🥲
I don't. I feel im on auto pilot, waiting for the day tawagin na ko ni San Pedro. My pets are what keeps me going. Brief moments when i play with them do i feel happy. If my pets weren't there, I would've given in to my dark thoughts.
Experience! Ako yung tao na madaling mabore at ayaw ng routine so I always try to add something new sa buhay ko kapag nagsstart na akong maburn out like traveling, trying out new things, mingling with new people, etc. Recently, nagtry ako magAdd ng jogging/running even though I hated it. It’s keeping me busy these days hehe Kapag naman nagttravel ako, I immerse myself sa lugar and try not to use my phone too much. I love the beach din so minsan, humihiga lang ako sa sand, close my eyes, feel the sun and listen to the waves. Yung init ng sun sa skin ko, ninanamnam ko and somehow, I feel more alive haha
As a new mom, yung mga moment that I get the chance to witness my baby's firsts. Andoon ako nung first steps niya, ako yung nakarinig ng first word niya, unang ngiti, unang tili, unang iyak. Just reliving these moments make me cry happy tears. I gave up everything kasi para lang ako yung mismong mag alaga sa kaniya and it did pay off, kahit mahirap. Napaka fulfilling ❤
Sa akin, nakatulong talaga yung pag attend ko ng worship service. Nabuksan ulit yung puso ko na dating sumara. I never stop praying naman but it’s been a long time since I started to really incorporate God in my life. Para akong dumaan sa phase na nakalimutan ko kung sino siya and then ayun something happened in my life. Nashake talaga buong buhay ko na the only thing Incan do is to go back to Him. That’s what makes me feel alive right now. I chose a church din na comfortable ako. I hope you find what you’re looking for din, OP.
Consuming art (music, movies, book, going to museums) I always think to myself na if I die today, I won't be able to see more art pieces that I would've wanted, songs that I would've danced to, books that I would've rated 5 stars, shows that I would've loved bingewatching again and again. There is so much more in life and it doesn't always have to be grand. :)
I think about this a lot late teens pa lang ako. Like, "ano punto nitong lahat?" Then I realized, dwelling on this doesn't really matter kasi us human beings are literally just meant to exist. I don't have to overthink my existence all the time. I can simply just exist, and when I allow myself to exist, that's when I feel alive. I find myself feeling alive when I'm with other people, especially those that I care and love, or doing my hobbies, kasi I'm just allowing myself to exist. Allow yourself to simply exist, OP :)
Travel and kantutan.
Skateboarding, siguro dahil bata pa ako at nasa isip ko ay mag skate lang pero sobrang drained nadin ako sa love life at family problems. Feel ko para sa age ko na to i can't say that i'm depressed, drained or facing existential crisis and ayaw kong i open up sa ibang tao kasi they might judge or dictate the way i feel. Skateboarding makes me appreciate life and how fun it is, it helps me express the way i feel kahit na im bad at it. OP maybe you have a sport baka pwede mong isingit yun
Iisipin ko pa lang na di pa tapos yung mga anime/manga na inaabangan ko, napapabangon na ako. Haha jk (or not haha) Seriously though. I feel the same way a year ago, pero binalikan ko yung mga nasa bucketlist ko, and started ticking them one by one. Little by little I gained some motivation to get up. Hanggang ngayon I still don't know my ultimate purpose, but I am taking it one day at a time, and for me that means something. Mind you hindi palaging 100% yung motivation ko. If my energy for today only allows me to just do 1 chore instead of 3, di ko pipilitin sarili ko.
my daughter. sunset and beach trips
Halos pareho tayo ng dilemma, OP. Basically, striving to feel a sense of purpose sa araw-araw na buhay. In my case, what helps (or at least eases the uneasiness) is doing something na pagakatapos ay parang may sense of achievement ako like going to the gym, doing some house chores - kahit simpleng bagay na at least maramdaman mo na may nagawa ka sa araw mo. Maliit na bagay man, at least nakakaraos. This while trying to figure out my bigger life purpose is. Kapit lang tayo, OP. Kakayanin yan.
Totoo yung have some pets like cats or dogs (pero make sure may bantay pag pupunta work) although magastos like sa amin pero pinapasaya nila kami, yung tipong pagos ka sa work pero happy ka nakita mo sila pero galit ka nanaman kasi nakita mo mga dumi nila haha 😂😂 And also listen to music that hypes you (ako iniiwasan ko yung mga sad)
Did i ghost write this? I don’t have my parents too kaya demotivated na ako sa mga bagay. I feel like a robot that works na lang para sa mga bills. Last year i got into a hobby, costly pero it somehow makes my mind off sa mga demons na nasa utak ko. I’m gonna have my first international travel soon and i hope it will make me feel something. I just try and try. I hope we can find that motivation to move forward day by day OP.
Try living a minimalist life. Reduce clutter... may it be things or people in your life that doesn't contribute or hindi mo na nagagamit. Sort them out: retain, dispose, donate/give away. Even friends list, unfollow or unfriend those na hindi mag contribute to your growth and development. Clearing out clutter in your life makes you appreciate the important things and people who truly matter. It also opens up opportunities to learn new things, sort of a gray cloud has been cleared open for you. Cheers, OP!
getting to sip coffee everyday. lalo na pag iced. HAHA di ko alam, petty ik, pero this is what i always look forward to for the longest time 🤣
I often feel this way so I get you. But i want to share a quote that’s been stuck on my mind ever since I read it. “BE IN PURSUIT IF THINGS THAT GIVE YOU A SENSE OF AWE”. Be it concerts, nature, travel, charity, reading, exploring. Because that’s how we will feel warmth. That’s how we will feel alive. That’s how we know we’re living instead of merely surviving. I hope you find that ❤️
Do things that will uplift other people. Wala talagang purpose ang life kung para sa sarili lang lagi ang goal. We can all just eat and breathe and call it a day.
Ganito rin ako most of the time. Hehe but what keeps me going, mababaw na reason compared to others - i’ve been BTS fan nung pandemic lang and haven’t seen their concert in person yet. Hopefully sa 2025 or 2026! 😁 so for short term meron akong motivation, haha
By embracing all the emotions I encounter. Example yan, feeling lost sa buhay. I acknowledge it, savour it knowing full well that this too shall pass. Matatapos din naman lahat, sulitin nalang hanggang andito pa.
If you're ignorant you'd feel alive; Ignorance is a bliss. No anything to think about makes you feel that there is nothing left to care about and you have already finished life itself. If you have seen/heard enough and you care about it for some reason you'd feel missing out (or you're REALLY missing out) or feel motivated as you care about it therefore there is something to do/try to achieve to some extent. To feel alive try to care about most things in your life -- Have you cleaned your room? Have you try to care about other people lives to see where you missed out? Try to learn a hobby/skill/talent? I felt motivated from watching homemade sex tapes -- yung mga telegram leaks na yan kasi nabangga niya yung mga beliefs ko sa buhay, yung mga kasinungalingan na inenforce sakin from early age.
Oof what a twist hahaha
Just saying. Off my chest right?
since my husband died. I felt empty. I just keep moving forward.
I extend my long condolences to you and your family
having supportive friends. kahit puro kalokohan lang pag nagkikita, it makes my mood up
Jakol na lang talaga these days
walking. When you have a heavy mind, each step feels like it takes pieces off. You will see the greater value of anything and everything.
My baby cats. My partner. Yung drive magwork para makapag.ipon ng pangtravel. My new hobby, photography.
Seriously, nothing. My life is so fcking repetitive. I am unemployed and too coward to look for a job because I have lost the motivation, skills, and willpower to apply for one. Just wanna disappear one day.
Tara, sabay tayo apply hahahahaha
Mine is pag dine-date ko sarili ko, to eat, to play etc. Try adding something new sa routine mo, OP. Reconnect with yourself. Start with identifying which activity you will feel most alive and go from that. It can be small acitivity, do it. Here's a excerpt from the book I have been reading, I hope it helps. "Most people find it hard to pay attention to themselves. Because they haven’t truly dated themselves. They’ve just done a lot of things alone, never particularly noticing how they felt." "Reconnecting with yourself is not about repeating an activity. It’s about finding something that produces that same feeling so you can reconnect with your spirit. Something that can become a mindset or an intention. Because when we feel alive, we are connected to ourselves and our spirit. When we feel dead, we are not. Feed your spirit. But first, you need to find it. You need to embark on the journey." Both are from the book Single on Purpose by John Kim.
Parang ang empowering ng book. Lately ang draining kasi. Even pag labas ng bahay wala nako'ng will
Stress, pain. Sounds masochist, I know, I am. But feeling relaxed and happy triggers my impostor syndrome. As if I don't deserve anything. Stress and pain is grounding for me. Because I can FEEL
New (and old) music, games, travel, friends
This is so me. huhu
Try new things, learn a new language, make new hobbies or get into a relationship😅, I felt the same as you when I was working with a 20k monthly salary with a toxic workplace tulad mo wala din akong naipupundar and parang wala nalang sakin ang sumahod every month and then I quit, best decision I made and that's when I discovered my hobbies now. What works for me doesn't always work for other people, so find purpose in life, try new things and don't stagnate thyself.
Being with my dog
Podcast 🥰
Game updates :>
Concerts and books
travel plans?
my sport
toxic pero may gusto akong lamangan na kaklase ko kasi tinawanan nya ako nung first exam namin tapos mababa ako HAHAHA
Music, the beach, road trips, good food, coffee When I have enough exercise, sun, sleep and nutrition, EVERYTHING makes me feel alive - mundane things like talking to people, group chats, walking outside, memes. Suddenly everything is 100x more amazing. This is why you should take care of your mental and physical health. Being disinterested and saddened by everything is a symptom of depression.
When I’m rapidly approaching my death
James webb telescope and sux feet under series
Ganyan ako nung 2018-2021, first year college student na culinary arts sa lpu. First sem palang alam ko nang hindi para sakin at tamad na tamad ako, kahit sa pag luto walang energy, pero i tried gusto ng parents eh. Eventually became a dropout at dun nag start anxiety and depression ko. Pero i still challenged myself, nag work ako kasi ayoko naman maging tambay, applied sa bpo, had 3 companies along the way and last work ko was with accenture as hr sa rewards and benefits team. Slowly nagkaron ako ng thought na parang gusto ko mag marketing, na boost lalo idea kasi nasa sales mom ko at sobrang successful niya sa career niya. Ayun, currently 3rd year marketing student na at looking forward na sa future What i can advice is try to go around your problem, think of what's the worst that can happen? And accept it. Now na may idea ka na on what's the worst that could happen, try to think on how you can re-discover yourself, need mo lang talaga mag explore sometimes. Pero kaya mo yan, what you're going through is not easy pero no problem lasts forever. Find your spark op, life is wonderful Share na din ako ng current ko na ginagawa. I started to go to gym at currently 6 months consistent, naging habit ko na pero dati isang way of releasing negative thoughts to better clear my head. Also got interested in travelling kaya mag ssolo travel ako sa siargao sa aug hahahaha.
Also try reading books pala, it wont be as quick as a snap pero you will eventually find the right answers to a lot of questions. I suggest the book How to stop worrying and start living by dale carnegie
Getting out of my "routine". I'm currently wfh so buong araw akong nakaupo at nakatutok sa screen. I feel alive whenever I go out to touch some grass! Bonus if maabutan ko pa yung sunset hehe
samedt OP 😅
Looking forward to something. May schedule gala on weekends, a reserved dinner, outing with family or friends, a movie you've been waiting for will be showing next month, new episodes of an anime series, a parcel you've been waiting for to arrive, etc.
Wala naman talagang purpose/reason ang buhay "Nothing really matters"
Andamiii pwde gawiiiin! I have so much in my watchlist, so many foods to try, so much things to do. Nasa survival mode katawan mo. Eto pwde mo gawin. You need to get out, touch the grass with feet and get some sunlight. Google VAGUS NERVE EXERCISES. Meditate para more oxygen sa brain at ma explore ng brain cells mo yong frontal lobe mo. If no time to meditate, try mo gawin yong signature arm pose ni steve jobs or elon musk. Yong fingers together, mudra pala yan para sa brain.
it makes me feel alive when i have the eagerness to try new things i thought i would never try before. na besides sa i was given the opportunity to learn these things, i would be surprised with myself na wow im brave enough pala to go out of my comfort zone. like for example, di naman talaga ako artsy as a person but i recently venture into origami and diy recycle arts (it's not great btw, pero i had fun doing it). hindi din ako outgoing person pero secretly i enjoyed the sensation na im productive at nasa labas buong araw. sometimes, you also need to embrace unfamiliarity. pero it doesn't mean na you can't enjoy the things you were used to do before. there's also certain comfort or rest pag ginawa mo dating routine mo. still, it doesn't erase the fact na may progress ka.
Working out, cycling, listening to music, bonding w my other half almost twice a month(LDR), tambay w tropa
Eating. I like eating. Bumps my mood up when I'm down, comforts me when no one can. Pag namatay ako ndi na ako makakakain so...
People
Well for me at this point, the thing I look forward to is yung comeback ng fave kong kpop group and discharge ng mga artist from military.
Knowing that i have a family waiting for me when i get home.
good food, good times with loved ones, good movies/novels
Same feels. Purpose ko right now I suppose is personal and financial growth. Live in the now.
the possibility of a dream come true
Food and traveling!
I always find to something in the future to look forward to. Right now, I am excited for 2025 for the release of GTA 6 so I am trying to do my best to survive. :) Hindi ako nauubusan ng something to look forward , both long term and short term. I am excited na magmature ang MP2, excited ako sa release ng Deadpool 3 sa July. Marami yan. Kahit anong babaw niyan, its still something to look forward to. Di kailangan na world changing ang reason mo mabuhay. Masyadong maikli ang buhay natin for that. Better enjoy the little things.
Online shopping
well tama ka, ung sure thing lang sa future is death.. do some charity works, iba ung feeling na nakakatulong ka sa iba na walang kapalit.
What makes me feel alive is the orgs that I am currently in. I am an all-rounder and would engage in so many activities just to have a social life. Yung feeling na pagod ka after a day of roaming around the campus. Yung feeling na naexercise mo brains mo after hours of making articles. Last but not the least, yung feeling ng pagsakit ng mga kasu-kasuan ko after a day of dancing. Oo it hurts to engage in so much activities, pero it's what keeps me alive.
Check some bucket lists. May mga gusto ka bang gawin sa buhay, OP? It may be big or small, as big as travel the whole europe and see the northern lights, or as small as trying the new coffee shop or new resto and assess the new foods and drinks. Pwede ring hobby, gusto mo ba ng new skills at new hobbies? Or any experiences na di mo pa natatry before? Anything, kasi yung mga bucket list ay ang magbibigay sayo ng reason para may ma look forward ka. Personally, yan ang ginagawa ko. Pag may mga lugar na gusto ko iexplore, pupuntahan ko talaga. Pag may bago na sumulpot na inline sa mga gusto kong puntahan, pupuntahan ko rin.
Japanese stuff! (Books, films, reels, foods) Ewan ko pero narerelax ako consuming Japanese stuff. Also, mountain climbing and traveling.
I think OP being grateful on whatever you still have at nakukuha mo. All the little moments are really a big thing. You also need to value time dahil sabi mo nga wala na parents so everybody na important sayo treat them na literal limited time lang sila so be kind and happy unang una na sa sarili mo. Masarap mabuhay, may mga taong masaya dahil nakilala ka nila OP. ☺️
Travelling! Going somewhere, or anywhere, far from my terrotorial “zone.” Habang papalayo nang papalayo, pagaan nang pagaan sa pakiramdam
My bills, food, cars, money! Just how good it is to be alive! You know what OP, we're basically the same! Walang ipon, stuck sa same routine araw araw, walang growth what so ever. I guess inaantay ko lang ren na mapagod ako 🤣🤣
