1. try reading one chapter of the Bible each day for 1 month even if you dont believe in It. see it as a self-improvement and encouragement Book. This helped me alot, not in the sense that my problems went away but my perspective changed. I'm just a guy on a forum. I'm not trying to convert you, I'm just sharing what's good for me.

2. Other than that find what form of entertainment you enjoy the most (books, movies, music etc) and then try to find a hobby that has something to do with that form of entertainment....for me it's writing and making beats. simple..yet very helpful outlet.

3. And this might sound corny but dont be afraid to love others...the opposite of love is not hate...it's fear...fear of rejection, fear of ridicule, fear of not living up to your expectations or the expectations others have set for you....all of that is poison to your well-being. Kill fear and give as much love as you can even if you take nothing back. at least your conscience will be good since you did your best. Most of the time our brains and fear sabotage our relationships...not our hearts

4. Last but not least...find your own path, God(or life) has a different path for everyone, not everyone is supposed to go the same way. Imagine what traffic would be like if we all headed the same way. I mean yeah we take similar routes, but our destination and reason for being there is different. Dont get discouraged when you fail at something someone else succeeds or when someone ''makes fun'' of your way of handling things.

I hope I could be of some help with this. I'm still in search of answers and happiness too so I just do my best for now.

Happiness didn't last very long

hope it comes back soon

I like writing album reviews. Idk if that counts but it helps

I lose the sense of time when I write.

for all I know I can write 4 pages in 10 minutes or 100 minutes lol

it's really

really

really

really

hard not to fall into the pit of not liking people but im trying not to

of course it counts, it helps you get a more in depth view into the music you listen to.

what's the last album you heard tho?

note: your credibility is on the line

Well i've only written 2 so far and published 1, next is getting published in a few hours.

It's in my ktt status 🌲

Black metal aint my type of music but I'd like to read your review when it gets published

I have my first review saved in a google doc if you want to read that. That ones black metal too though. I'm gonna start writing about other genres soon cause really no one listens to black metal which is understandable

yeah I'd like to read it.

you know, even tho I'm not a big fan of black metal I can respect the amount of effort and emotion in the composition

.

Problem was never loving others
It was loving myself

damn I need to proofread my s***

broooo you butchered epiklesis 2

your review of the 8th song had me like ngl

Amazing song. Love the way it just keeps you on your feet the entire time

it's midnight where I'm at now and judging from the album's theme, bumping this song right now will f*** me up (I got phobias)

Yeah this entire album is very intense and not a very good experience for a first black metal album

If you really wanna get into black metal start with something soft like alcest

I heard voyages 3-4 years ago and it was a good experience

Actually this album sent me into a full on manic episode a couple days ago. It wasn't just this album alone, but it really propelled the episode

ecailles de lune and souvenirs d'un autre monde are my favs of theirs

I'll check out Lune tomorrow morning with my coffee

it's crazy you brought up alcest...the voyages album and some stoner metal album I dont remember the name of right now are the only metal albums I recall enjoying.
