Shaun I’m so goddamn proud of you man. You are a true inspiration to me as an older cousin, I admire you in so many ways, you’re amazing and you should know that! You’ve accomplished so much in life so far and I know you’re gonna continue to do so going forward!
Hey Shaun! Long time no talk! I just got finished with the video. First, I want to say that you're hilarious, I've always enjoyed talking to you, and everytime I think about Metroid Prime I think of you I get the struggle of not being sure how to find meaning in life and what you need to find happiness. I also get feeling like a lost teenager rather than someone in their 30's, I've felt like that before. Living on my own has for sure helped. But I do sometimes struggle with finding forward progress in life. There's no one answer that works for everyone of course. I know some people find that meaning through their religion but that simply doesn't work if you aren't religious. Some people find meaning through their career, but that doesn't always feel satisfying on a deep level. Personally when I'm at my worst, it's hanging out with my friends that makes me feel like life is worth looking forward to. I get what you mean when you say that you are your happiest when you're making someone happy. That you are sad when they're sad. It's not always healthy, but I naturally pin a lot of my joy in life out of trying to make someone else happy. You know, giving. Giving time, giving effort, showing I care. Maybe it's the aspergers like you said, I have that too. I feel like I can relate to most of what you're saying. I'm okay in this moment, but I've felt a lot of this stuff. I understand feeling viscerally, cosmically exhausted despite having money and support. I know you don't need me to say that you're going to feel better in the future, because you already clearly know that. It's just about figuring out what the hell you're supposed to do right now. Everyone knows you'll do it though man! Just takes time and effort, as always. You're a good dude and you've got this. I'm always around to talk if you want to!
