Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot about my life recently since I started to have even more free time to be depressed.
I thought a lot, and realized that money cannot make you happy.
You can’t buy feelings, happiness, connection or meaningful relationships, when that is what matters the most in life. I come from a pretty rich family. I was spoiled since young, and till this day I get whatever I want, I do whatever I dream of, and I’m still depressed! In my world that is filled with money and happiness, where I have loving parents that offer me whatever I need, I don’t feel happy, because I’m alone. I have no one to talk to in the worst moments, nor best moments. Someone really close to me at all times, someone who’d be excited to talk to me, to listen to me talk, someone who’d hold me in their arms and tell me they adore me; this would fix my life more than a million dollars would.
This brings me to another point that I got really aware of just yesterday, after a message that Ive made a post about. When you have everything you want/need, nothing seems special anymore. Let’s take my travels as an example: if I was a person who had never left the borders of their country, and my parents would tell me: “this year we’re going to Japan”, I think I’d die from happiness, I wouldn’t be able to stop talking about it. If you’d tell the same thing to my current self, I’d just say “again?”. I’d still be happy, but it’s not the same anymore, less excitement and intensity of the news.
When you get every single thing you need, there’s barely anything that would positively surprise you. You’re used to getting spoiled, saying a word and getting what you want. There’s nothing to keep you going, not a goal, not a dream, because most of the time you’re used to having everything your way.
As well as the fact that being spoiled and naturally intelligent has made me a weak person, very helpless. I can’t imagine having to save up for something or dealing in hard times. I can’t imagine having to study and worry about grades. I can’t do anything good because I’m used to things being the way they are: handed to me like on a plate.
My life is perfection, but I’m so so terribly lonely, and it never seems to change. And money can’t change it either
If yall have any thoughts lmk, I’d love to hear yours opinion)
