Man, I'm really sorry, and this might just be a dick thing to say that you can fully ignore, but get it together.
I'm 18, and 3 years ago my mom died. I lost my mom at 15 years old. She was the person I loved most in this entire world, and I'm even tearing up just writing about this even though I am fully at peace with her death.

I know it hurts, and I know it sucks, and I dropped out of school and got my GED because I couldn't get up in the mornings anymore. Shit fucking BLOWS, okay?

But you can't let it ruin your life or your happiness because that is not what your girlfriend wants and that is not a healthy mentality to keep with you at all. Life is not empty just because somebody you loved with all of your heart is gone now.

I don't even really know what to say to you, though, because I don't think your only problem is the fact that your long-term girlfriend died. Emotionally healthy and stable people can keep being emotionally healthy and stable even when stuff like that happens, so perhaps you need to reevaluate your past and the things you've gone through and why you're reacting this way, instead of just focusing on the fact that she died and that's why you're sad.

I'm sorry man, I've been in your exact same situation and I know it will never stop hurting. But sometimes you just have to live with that pain tucked in somewhere else, without letting it interfere with who you are.

Late reply, hope you're still around to see this.

Thanks for your kind words and also for taking the time type all this. But the things you're saying ("get it together", not about your mother) are the same things everyone has been telling me.

And you're right, there probably are other things that are interfering with my mental health. I feel that I just have to live with this empty feeling untill I find something that'll make me happy again.

Thanks again, it feels reassuring to know there are other people that have felt the same kind of pain and made peace with it.

Weed is a drug used almost entirely by young people and teens. I've met ONE person over the age of 26 that smoked weed, and that was my grandfather. He died at 52 and 420blazed it up until the day he had a heart attack when we were playing go-fish.

Neither am I. I'm Dutch, so over here it's perfectly fine to buy and smoke weed. I can walk into a coffee shop and nobody bats an eye. Maybe that's why I wasn't interested when I was younger, because only wannabe cool kids smoked weed when it was still illegal for them.

>kids smoke weed.
Certain types of kids do, but definitely not a majority, at least not when I was growing up, which was only 10-5 years ago.

I guess because it's legal nobody really cares, I definitely never heard of anyone worthy of friendship wanting to hang out with someone solely because they smoked weed.

This sounds reasonable. Most kids did it purely because it was illegal in my country, myself included probably.

I'm a cinephile. I watched ~150 movies last year and I'm going to try to watch 300 movies this year. Of the movies I saw this year, Tabu: A Story of the South Seas and Woman in the Dunes were probably the most interesting.

Although I browse /lit/ more than /v/ and I read more than play video games, I want to become a game designer. I'm currently working on an RPG. I'm pretty good at all the skills for game development: I can program, 3d model and animate, and I'm good at art; I've won a few art awards.

I also like to cook and I'm learning Japanese.

Also like tarot cards and poker, and play Magic the Gathering nearly every day.

I suck at anything musical (tried learning guitar and saxophone, plus also joined choir, but I failed pretty hard) or athletic-related, but I'm good at soccer and placed in the top ten in a few cross country meets.
