One of the most difficult things in life is to come up with a purpose in life. I think I just lost it. There are plenty of things I could do, know how to do and would like to do, but I can discern no purpose in doing so. There's no distinct why, who or what for which would make it appear to me like a useful activity. Instead I'm just sitting here, stuck pondering and desperately trying to motivate myself. Motivation which isn't coming.
I'm honestly afraid. Afraid of not feeling like I have a purpose in life, of feeling like I can or have made a difference. Instead all I can see are things which have failed or are in the process of failing. Why am I even trying?
What I'm also afraid of are these thoughts which keep popping up more and more often the past few days, of death, of suicide, of ending things. Is that really what I'm moving towards? Is it the only possible conclusion to this unfathomable life I have had so far? Is it anything more impressive than a bug dying somewhere in a world which doesn't even notice?
Maybe I'm just really tired. Maybe I just want to lie down for a while. Maybe it's okay if I never get up again...

There is always hope. Even in the darkest hour there is a glimpse. :)
I think it's just there to tease me :(
The motivation will return, it just takes some time to get your goals clear and start working towards these goals.
Periods without motivation and not doing things are good to think things over and to realize what you want to achieve.
Unfortunately you'll realize this after such a period of nothingness, when you found your motivation again.
Maya, I also went through such state of mind. But believe me you need to just talk to your beloved. You just need some motivation and you'll be on track of life.
If I had a beloved that might work :P For now I'll just have to do with my best friends :)
