How did you know I was born premature?

Why do you still believe this?

I used to have what I hoped were visions of the future (They turned out to be just fantasies) being happily married, being a father, and making music for a living. Instead, I can’t even get a coffee date, I might as well be infertile, and I work a dead end job.

You cannot let these negative factors define who you are.

I’ve wanted to overcome these things but it’s like my efforts are never good enough.

You cannot let such obstacles continue to get in the way of what you want the most.

You've stated it a few times at least in various threads.

Sometimes I feel like it’s a sign that I was doomed to be unhappy in this life.

How much does the belief that you're doomed to feel unhappy contribute to you feeling unhappy?

It doesn’t help but the fact I haven’t been able to rise above my struggles makes the feelings apt. My older brother used to boast that being conservative was awesome because it let him socialize with the majority in the area and he got to “f**k b*****s” (His words, not mine.) while in his view, liberals were virgin or gay “losers”. He doesn’t really boast anymore because he’s had a divorce, two cancelled marriages (Though his current wife was originally part of the second cancelled marriage), and he has four kids with a fifth coming who take up most of his time. However, he still loves Trump and thinks Biden will destroy his beer business.
