Some hours ago, my friend/next door neighbor got evicted from his place and is now on the ship to the province. That guy, he's been going here for so long, being a pain in the a** and at the same time he's nice. Its like he's a part of the neighborhood here and him being a bother has been normal for now. Having him leave is like a part of life just went away. Made me realize how change moves slowly and yet happens so fast.
Though seeing how he got evicted, I realized that I need to think of some way to get my life somewhere before everything gets taken from me. Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with my life. This country I'm living in sucks, its hard to get a job that can earn you enough for a happy life, opening a business here can make the gov't screw you out of your money and send you to prison (my uncle opened a shop and the gov't charged him millions for taxes and registration) And right now, my parents are planning to sell the place we're currently living on. Again because of the gov't overcharging us with taxes.
Because of all these... I really have no idea what to do with my life. Anyone else here feel the way I do or otherwise?

So well spoken my friend life is so uncertain and we as humans have to continually remind ourselves that we must work to live and not live to work.
Firstly I would say do not be too hard on yourself and do the best you can but keeping in mind some set goals. You may have to consider relocating to achieve a bit more money success and or learn a different trade. Even keep the probability open that perhaps something else minimal to your experience in order to simply obtain the basics.
Secondly do not look at others successes and or downfalls as a negativity towards your own future. Take all experiences as lessons so you too do not commit similar errors.
Lastly but certainly not least simply do the best you can, and not allow other to do so for you, if the best for you is not much simply be happy and say to your self this is the best I can do.
I wish you success with happiness my friend as so many of us are in similar boats.

Thanks, I agree with you. Everything just came like a shock to me when my next door neighbor vanished. Him annoying me is like an everyday part of living here. Having him gone kinda gave me a shock on how life suddenly changes.
But thanks, hope we all get success. ^^
