Do you ever...
Do you ever feel that something is missing from your life? Whether it be a person or something else? Im not sure what it is, but lately it seems like there is something or someone that i need to be apart of. Maybe i need to do more things to better myself as a human being? i dunno. Whatever it is i hope it eventually comes my way.

ya, like kenji said. its normal darren.
i assume you will start to feel beeter as the weather improves and you get outdoors more. camping/hiking/beaching/laking/sporting this summer will cheer you right up. if that doesnt work, there is always prostitution.

It's just a part of being in our prime age group. 20-30 is the time for you to accomplish and establish yourself. Maybe this feeling your having is just the youth in your pushing you to go find new ways to improve yourself.

^I find being active and outside makes a HUGE difference!
I think the "something's missing" feeling especially comes when your life is a little too routine. Try doing something different, or shaking up your schedule every once in a while!

I'm only 18 but I always feel I'm not living up to my potential. Sometimes I just blame it on the town I was raised in; there's no culture to provide interest and ambition for young people. Most of the time I realize it's just my inhibitions and my habits. And once in a blue moon I start to think maybe I should finally get around to finding a girlfriend for the first time in 5 years and start to build some kind of structure in my life. These guys are right; it must be a normal feeling. "The times they are a changin'." Young people are beginning to become successful right out of highschool, and the newer generations are raised into a world with much more potential and opportunity. I think we're just expected to expect too much out of ourselves. I know my parents believe me to be some technological prodigy because I can open up a Hotmail account. All they ever tell me is, "why aren't you working with computers and making something of yourself?" I just say keep on truckin! Life is crafty, and you can never know what it has really got in store for you until it wants you to know.

That thing so many of us are looking for. That thing we look for in other (people, drugs, pets...) to fill our lives, can't be found in anything or anyone, only within.
There are people who enter our lives who help bring out and help blossom that thing we're missing. There are drugs which allow a short lived empathy with others, which make us think that sometimes drugs fill that void. There are pets and hobbies that help us focus on the positive qualities of ourselves and others. But it's still up to and you and I to fill the void, nothing else will completely your life, no one else will make your life meaningful and worthwhile day in and day out. Only you. This sounds like a tacky pipe dream, I know, but bear with me. That thing some of us our missing is love. Love for ourselves. The kind of love each and every one of us has to have to be able to fulfill one half a successful relationship and love someone else in turn. That's all really cheesey and weirdly borderline religious god-is-love-love-is-god crap, which isn't wasn't my intention, but which is what came out and what i believe in. Just keep positive man, it's gonna be cool, that void won't be a void forever.

I think you've got it right. People who are successful or end up being successful in their life are always on a constant quest for perfection. Don't settle in your life if things don't feel right.
