Why's life got to be the way it is :/

I'm tired of this rat race I didnt ask to put in. My childhood was robbed; and life rn is just an endless cycle of wake up -> work -> sleep -> rinse and repeat. Ugh I just want to be happy and content man.

I'm not suicidal or anything, just feeling kinda down rn

    There's a really good book on this that you might have skipped because the title seems really dippy, but it's called Stumbling on Happiness. It's about struggling with not being happy, and it helped me a ton. It's not about how to be happy, it's about how to cope when you're not and what happiness even means. It is definitely worth a read. Not a frivolous book at all actually.
