You're at the beginning of enlightenment. To want nothing, to need nothing is freedom to have everything. Your life ain't gonna end now, so that's a waste of time to think about. But now that you let go of expectations, you're free to experience the world for what it is .
Or are you still holding on to expectations? It feels like you're not free to experience anything good since you're only focusing on the negative. And focusing on labeling things as positive and negative.
The world has nothing to offer you. The only thing you can do is to work on yourself.
