I don't know how to reply you OP.

I was dating for about a year, and we often went out to take snaps, chat, and we did pretty much everything together, now we're done. She's gone. I have folders of files we shared, days we shared, memories we took. I'm feeling clueless about everything, like I'm lost in my mind and in those files. I miss her, but I'm missing the moments we share, her smile, her eyes, her hair and her soft skin. For a instance I let my camera beside, and thought about quit for a while. I was forced by others to get back to it. Something have changed tho I was a fan for vivid colours, now I'm just Black and White. My profile changed, my photography had change. I dropped out my university because I realize I was putting too much effort in something I am not.
The last month has been a ground break in my entire life. My heart is like shut and broken, and my brain is numb most of the time, taking pills to sleep and anti-depressants to wake up.
Once I felt myself hitting the rock bottom, I had to take my camera and make something. So, even if my photography sucks, I know I can't let it go. It's something I am, something I cherish for good, put effort into it, and I can reach somewhere with it. I can even reach my plenitude while I'm lost into this loneliness I call my life atm

Maybe, you're the only motivation you need to it...

It is empty. Everything is empty.

If you dropped out of school over a woman, you've made the biggest, stupidest mistake of your life.

>>3116208
Nah, I didn't dropped out because of her. I was stuck there before. But the same time I was totally deluded about my degree, she break up with me. Everything came down as a snow ball

Well, I mean college is a giant investment and financial burden that you shouldn't carry if your heart's not in it or it doesn't benefit you.

I hope you find your way and prosper.

there is no intrinsic meaning to anything anyone does. life is what you make it. dwell on the meaninglessness and be depressed, or put it out of your mind and set arbitrary goals to work towards to keep yourself distracted. one will lead to happiness, and one will lead to despair and probably suicide.

i know it's not as easy as 'snap out of it', but step one is setting a goal. without goals you have nothing.

I take photos and print them for my future kids. Because a few years ago I found a box of hundreds of pictures from when my parents were young up until I was 4 and I could look at them forever

It is like a paiting. It starts blank, empty, so you can color it any way you want, there is no preset objective.

I feel the same, I only use my camera when I'm outside the country, which is only a few times a year.

Like this guy said, you take them for your own enjoyment fifrst and foremost.
In the end if you can impact one person, then its worth it.

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.
― Pema Chödrön

But then again, keep doing photography. The "thing" falling apart is your mind's attachment to everything related to it and other things.

An comedy movie, ironically, gave me the motivation to keep going. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Though far from a photography movie, the motto for LIFE magazine in it was touching.

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and feel, that is the purpose of Life"

That quote always stuck to me, hell it's even engraved on my cameras. Take them for yourself, and hey if others like them, good on them.
