I'm 22 years old and am pretty sure my life is over.?

Same here. I'm not giving up and I don't think you should either. While it's nice to have a job, and to have a big sum of money in some bank account, there's really a lot more to life than that. It's tough to acknowledge that and really see that however when there's always so much terrible news about the economy and we see our friends or other people seeming to be doing so well and having such easy lives and we wonder what's the matter with us. You see a kid with a bloated belly or a toothless old man in some third world country with a mile wide smile and you know how they can do it? Because in spite of not havel dollar one to their name, they know they've got the love of someone and that as long as they have that, whether it's family, a friend, or out of the kindness of a stranger, they'll be all right and that life is full of possibilities, for better or worse. As long as you've got the sun shining in your face and the world beneath your feet, you've got a wealth of potential to do damn near anything you want. You just have to do some hard thinking, make some tough decisions, try some different approaches, make a few sacrifices be they habits, friends, family, etc, and just don't give up on yourself. I do know it's hard, but any minute now, the darkness and confusion vanishes and the way gets a lot clearer, just hang in there. Wishing you love and luck.
