I continue reading all these comments by people say that “life gets better”. I don’t know what their definition of BETTER is because for me life has become more of a shit hole. More people are leaving me as life goes on and soon I’ll be going through this ordeal all alone.
If life is so much better when your older, why are so many adults depressed, why do so many take their lives, why do so many run away? Yeah, I guess life isn’t that fucken great after all!!!

Life always CAN get better. There are good things that could happen to you to make you’re life great in the future. I think the idea is that only a (relatively) small portion of the population is depressed/suicidal/unhappy or whatever, and the vast majority are at least content with their lives. So, statistically speaking, it should get better, you should revert to the mean level of happiness. At least that’s how I view it. Life is full of opportunities, it’s extremely unlikely that one person gets served only bad ones.
I am 29. I for one am pretty sick of people telling me ‘life gets better’. Because it’s not that simple. It goes up and down, and knocks you around, and the problem is when it’s down, the road ahead looks impossibly long.
‘Life’ is too massive and complicated thing to pigeonhole as something that magically ‘gets better’. I find it more constructive to focus on each small step and not this massive thing we call ‘Life’ and ‘the world’ or ‘people’.
Maybe life doesn’t get better but maybe you can. Maybe I can. I don’t know, I guess we’ll find out.
Not here is right.
Roaming soul, you are completely right, the people that say “life gets better” never had problems to begin with. not real problems anyway. I’m not even an adult yet but i can see how truly monotonous and mundane life is
@LOL, you are looking at things too generally. Don’t look at ‘Life’, just pick out the small little things which have beauty and try to focus on that. If you’re not an adult yet, what do you know about life? Give it a bit more time. Maybe ‘Life’ won’t get better but little things in it might. And it’s only monotonous and mundane as you make it. And problems are relative – never compare your problems with other people’s. It will only make both of you feel shit.
I hope you can see what you have to look forward to.
