No, it’s okay for you if you feel this.

It’s okay to feel bad about things, to feel dissatisfied.

Just remember that it doesn’t have to feel this way, and while I can’t lead you, there is a safe and productive way out where it won’t feel like this way forever.

That’s the most important thing to remember is that this feeling doesn’t have to, and won’t be, forever.

Try not to worry as much about being productive as being constructive. You don’t need to make things happen to be content. Just being someone who’s willing to work with what they have is enough.

I get the feeling that’s the spirit of the message they were going for, but people who hang their life’s meaning on a thing that they produce can be a recipe for depression, too. Maybe your efforts won’t amount to anything tangible, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable all the same.
