Is there any way to get back that feeling of direction to one's life you used to have years ago? Is it possible to feel fulfilled again, despite knowing all the nice things that will ever happen to you probably all happened already and it's only downhill from here?

If you happen to find something, be sure to report back.

try picking up a guitar or something and get that sense of accomplishment and improvement back
the shit you are talking about is just your brain being wrong

I pray, but most people in our age group have a problem with that for some lame reason I don't care about.

is that casey neistat and the rodge?

I'm a musical brainlet, but I started working out recently, to atleast funnel the boredom into something i can feel accomplishment at the end of the day, at least in theory. It's a decent way to kill some time, but in the long run it doesn't really give me a good feeling I fear.
I've actually been praying every night for like 3 or 4 years now every night kind of as a way for silent meditation. One of the reasons I feel the way I described is that this particular small daily ritual doesn't give me anything anymore aswell. It feels like evry other thing that lost its value to me, sadly.

i want to add that happiness in life stems from movement, things changing
it is when you stagnate you get depressed
it is not important what you do, it is important to do SOMETHING and that is what a lot of young men cannot get their heads around, understandably. "why do something that makes no sense?" for your own good thats why
Oliver Jenkins
I absolutely get that, like I said, I do stuff besides mindless time killing. From an outside perspective I'm probably moving forward, but the fact that I'm moving forward alone doesn't give me any fulfillment. Mpoving for moving's sake might be more depressing than doing nothing at all. If you stagnate you atleast know where you are and where you will be in the future: at the same point where you started. I don't lack movement, I lack direction.

ah yes the illness of our generation
i could advise you to find a greater purpose to pursue but there are barely any other than making the best of your human experience i think
i mean one might get into politics or something but are they not all corrupted?
btw i am in a similiar boat, the kind of guy who thinks a lot with something blocking me from actually doing something. i recently picked up a guitar and AM feeling better that's why i recommended it but i feel you are at a worse spot emotionally :(

Funnily enough, I used to be quite avidly into politics and shit but that interest took its natural course aswell and died down just like other passions. Maybe I'm missing that child like wonder of discovering an entirely new interest, getting into it and making it your own. It's just hard to get any motivation to try to find something like that in the first place if every day feels shitty and emptier than the previous one. Also, many possible things require people to do it with and I'm just not interested nor really the type of person to find people to do stuff with. I know that this is a self sustaining system, but I've grown too apathetic to really get up and fix it, you know?
