What you’ve talked about is a real issue with society. And it’s unfortunate that people live this way thinking there's no solution. But, like you’ve said, the solution is always finding something bigger than you, something worth pursuing and pursue it and when you do, this habit of self hatred which stems from not doing something better with your life will go away. I'm not that proud of myself for now because I've fallen off the real me and I procrastinate sometimes. But, the idea of hating myself hasn't come into the picture for me because I know it's life that I'm dealing with and sometimes that's how things have to happen. There has to be detours to get back to the real route. But, I don't say I hate myself. Infact, I love me because where I've come from and where I am now in my life, I have to be proud, no matter what....
