I tried to explain the same concept of feeling lost at my age to my ex. She doesn’t get the thought process of why I struggle since I don’t play sports anymore. When my entire life that’s all I knew. I signed my life away to the sports demons and now that I don’t play anymore I struggle mentally with it. Some people don’t understand it but it’s cool to hear you get it Icy fr

Your community loves you man. You are my favorite gears player. Precisely because you seem to be sincere and say how you feeling. You seem like a real normal person, you are so relatable. Unlike the others who just joke around and talk sh "t and seem to be weird as hell. Know what i mean? Anyways, i understand that you don't like gears 5 but people love you. Lately there was a tournament which was won by a 17 y/o kid from Brooklyn or something who was owning everyone even avexys. And everyone missed you, everyone was like " WHY NO ICY?, WHERE'S ICY? ". When domez and avexys make videos together, a lot lf people say it would be great if you where there too.

Nick, your purpose is to praise god man! Don’t put so much love into competing and gaming, when all of this fades, what do you have left ? Just pure dark emptiness, or it could be freedom too. Just don’t beat yourself up over those worldly things. There’s no gaming in heaven you know? not like this. You’re but a tiny spec of nothing in the entire universe. Yet your light shines through reaching to the hearts of people. Gaming is just a very small part. You were called just like many others put on Earth to do so much more than this. I’m really glad you take your time with your family outside of gears and create some real loving memories together. I myself got really tired of gaming after playing them for so long to the point that I felt empty and lost, gaming just didn’t delivered anymore, and all of a sudden it came to me that I need to spend more time with my family, like I used to when I was little, and I felt that happiness again come back to me. I felt alive again. I contacted my friends I used to make music with, invited them over at my house, and we had a great time together again! As we grow older we understand life is more about real emotional connections and relationships, about how much time we spend together with our family and friends, about creating memories, and less about trying to be good at this and trying to find a reason or a purpose to live for something so limited as gaming, when all you really need is right next to you, or a phone call away. We’re all depressed, suppressed, and fucked up, but we deserve more than this. There’s more to life than this! What will happen when E-day drops? the magic will be there for a minute at the start, then you’ll get lost into it again for some time, maybe not exactly like before cause now you’re older, and you’ll realize you can’t just repeat this process over and over again. You know very well the definition of insanity. I wish all the best to you man! Keep your head up. You’re a good person. You gotta ask.. what would your life be like if gears didn’t even existed? You’re giving this franchise way too much attention when really your attention is needed elsewhere, when your spirit actually craves some other form of living. You know it’s not this game that defines you, but it’s you yourself man! I guess what I’m trying to say is do the stuff that really makes you happy man, when gears it sure seems like it doesn’t. You want this game to be good, but I really don’t think it will ever be the same. You know everything has an ending, except God’s love is everlasting.

@venturefray2 ай бұрын
For those that say God doesn’t exist! Ignorance is bliss, eh? If you live inside a basement, unaware and uninformed, disconnected from the truth or what’s actually real, of course you can’t recognize Him. And he won’t show himself to you either in a more personal way beside the fact that all this creation is proof that a creator exists. A God of order which makes everything stay in place, look at the moon, the sun, and other planets, why don’t they collide into each other? Are you that blind and misinformed to see that if the moon were to be misplaced just a tiny bit, everything else on earth would go to shit? Or take the sun for that matter, how lucky or should i say blessed are we to even have a sun so close to us, and to provide us with all the natural resources possible, all other planets like Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants, Venus has clouds of sulfuric acid, Mars is unbreathable, Pluto’s temperature and pressure are extremely low, all these other planets in our solar system get so little sunlight and are uninhabitable. How lucky are we to even have something called daylight and to be able to see during the day. How does the sun always knows where to be, the summers aren’t too hot that we can burn, and the winters aren’t too cold that we can freeze. A little farther or a little closer and the Earth would either burn or freeze. How come the sun seems like it cares about us? And why would it care about us? How is this vessel this body yeah! able to withstand the temperatures within the limit and not above or under. How are we so lucky to even have a moon? How would you create electricity without the moon? How would you be able to see in the dark of the night without the moon? Why would someone create humans just to put them in the dark and in terror? Do you even ask yourself these questions, bud… is it so difficult to see this isn’t and can’t be undoubtedly just a coincidence? God couldn’t be more obvious than that to us, yet you deny His existence. The chaos also exists in this world, and you’ve seen how a heart can turn cold, you’ve seen the crimes, the murder, the lawlessness, the despise, the hatred, the terror some can invoke, and all of this comes from the god of chaos which is Satan. You would believe in his doings, but you wouldn’t believe in the righteous one. How does one exist without the other? Bible says the path to hell is large, and many will follow through, but the path to god is narrow, and less will come through. Which one are you? Jeremiah 29:13 says “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” All you need is a revelation. If you don’t want to know about Jesus, then He will not reveal himself to you. Why is it so that absolutely everyone curses on his name still, unwillingly or even willingly? He took upon him the sin of the world, and gave his life for us. And what are we doing? We take the lord’s name in vain like it means nothing. In His name is power, is greatness, is love and is ultimately life! His word is revelation of the things that were, the things that are, and the things that are to come. It is easier to make mistakes, but it is harder to not do them. Yet we love bathing in sin. It is so much easier to make fun of someone or to be mad on somebody, but it is 1000 times harder to forgive that person. Yet people are choosing the larger path again. Forgiveness will set you free! It means freedom. Hating someone is easy. Loving them takes more effort. It is easier to be in disbelief than to believe. Should I continue?? Why all other planets in our solar system rotates counterclockwise (prograde rotation), except for Venus which only rotates clockwise? (retrograde rotation) This is still a topic of scientific study amongst scientists. Not even they couldn’t figure it out. Who is the ultimate scientific father of this universe? Maybe God made it like that because he can and that not everything has to make sense to believe it. He wanted to see that not even their theories could find any solution or explanation to this specialty. A point to where even their math fails. But NEVER God’s math! When he created the universe, He probably just did it for the laughs, for the lolz, when probably there’s not a single reason behind it of big significance. You don’t have to see in order to believe. This is the lesson here! You don’t have to understand everything to give it meaning. Even though there’s many things which prove that He exists. You still want me to keep going? Do you still think everything is just a coincidence? Psalm 103:15-16 it reads “As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and it’s place knows it no more.” Make something with your time, instead of sitting by in full denial. God be praised! 💯💯💯 Give thanks to Him that He’s keeping you alive, it is Jesus that’s making your heart beating still, He’s in full control. The air you’re breathing is life! The same way he breathe life into your nostrils, the same way he can take this breath away. When everything is said and done, and you find yourself alone in the dark in a tough spot all by yourself having a stroke or your first heart attack, who are you gonna ask for help?… You’re not alone. God is not your enemy, he’s your friend. He’s in full control! Don’t be like Thomas the unbeliever. He then finally saw Jesus alive from the dead in both flesh and spirit, and just like that he repent! John 20:29 it reads “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” God is good, and His mercy endures forever. Amen! 🙏 ❤

I don't have any answers for you but i think you have to find things you can put that energy into, whether it's a craft, a hobby, fitness, whatever. It's definitely gonna be tough to sort of rebuild your life but that's probably what it takes. My friend is figuring that out over time. Good luck man.
