Going Through Hard Times, Would Love Inspiration from Your Favorite Things!

Hey everyone,


I'm a long time fan of RoosterTeeth and first time poster in the forums. I started watching Achievement Hunter when Michael just joined and have been a huge fan of all of RT ever since.


I recently went through a heart breaking separation with a girl that I had spent two years with and planned to marry. We had a great two years and I couldn't be more grateful for our memories but the recent life change has left a hole in my life. I have always struggled with depression and the break up has really spiked my doubt in myself as well as my inspiration to stay active.


I'm very fortunate to have amazing friends that are always there for me but one of the most common things I get asked to do is stay busy to keep my mind off things, the more I focus on the relationship, the easier it is to fall into those depressive thoughts.


I'm 23 years old and work as a Software Engineer at Kohl's corporate headquarters during the day, but I struggle to stay busy at night and on the weekends. I have been putting together a small bucket list of things to do that I am constantly adding to for little things that I can do to keep busy. These are little tasks to try and keep me active and keep my mind off of the relationship, a few examples are:

* Learn a new song on guitar

* Eat somewhere I've never been

* Make a new friend in life

* Hike at least a 3 mile trail on my own


And many other small tasks like that.


As I look for more things to add to my list, I would love to know what you, the community, find inspiration from and what hobbies you guys love doing! I would really like to keep growing my list and working through taking things off one by one until I can find things that I really like doing too. It sounds a little ridiculous but I've always been very invested in my relationships and it's caused me to never really learn about myself and this seems like the best time to do so.


Please send some love by giving a little sentence and picture about the things that make you happy in life, or multiple things too! It would really mean the world to me and help me find my way in these dark times. 


Thank you everyone :)

Much Love,

Nathan
