Thank you for reading my comment :)

I'm sorry that you are frustrated with your life at the moment. I've been very frustrated with my circumstances at times. Though I don't want to say that I know exactly how you feel (because I don't), I guess the only big part of life philosophy that I left out of my original comment is knowing what I can and can't control, and planning around that.

I happen to be in happy relationship atm, but it actually happens to be my first relationship, so for literally all my adult life before that I worried that I would never find someone to spend my life with. But I realised that I didn't have complete control over whether or not I met someone, and planned for how I would live my life if I didn't (cats and foster children, btw). Now I sometimes worry that there might be circumstances out of my control that mean I might not be able to have children, or adopt, or foster - and so I plan my life around that. Equally, either one of us might lose our jobs, be seriously injured, or experience any other things that might throw our life completely (or even just slightly) off the rails. And so I plan for how I could make happiness for us despite our problems in those situations.

I know that none of those things might happen. I also know that they might happen, and I might not be able to recover from them in the way I have planned. But just the thought that I would not take unexpected circumstances in my life lying down, and that I would fight for the happiness of myself and my family, quells the anxiety of the 'what if's. And I also know that there is no joy or hope in the alternative.

I wish us both success with what we want in life, but I also know that we have the strength to find happiness and meaning whatever comes our way :)
