I hate everything about life, how can I be more positive?

I'm serious I am so negative. I hate my family the most though. They made me like this. I want to be independent in life but I can't.. I'm Arabic, and so I can never really go out and live. My sis fell in love and got married but that's rare I'll probably get married to an Arab I dislike (not forced marriage but I it has to be an Arab ugh) I hate Arab guys.. I can't really wear tank tops, sometimes I can wear shorts but barely. Its like 90° out and I'm dying. My family is racist, sexist, homophobic, and prejudice. I accept everyone. I hate Judgmental people!

They think I'll never get anywhere in life. The girls in my family accept the 'girls must do all the cooking and chores' role! My dad wants me to get an education but mostly get married. I get yelled at for having headphones in all the time. But music is my ONLY escape. No real love. No freedom. No choice. I hate this life. I understand that it could be worse and at least my parents don't "force" me bug yeah..

And I cang move out because I have no money because I can only get a part time job at jewel and they aren't calling me back. Idk why they won't let me work any where else. I honestly don't see the point of living and why we should be happy. I cry everyday. Wat can I do

    I myself can be very pessimistic at times and not like life very much. But the important thing is that I AM HERE. How can I make this life better for me and others around me? That is what you have to focus on. If you ever are having a hard time finding the beauty in life just remember that there are others just like you. Many others that feel the same way you do and are trying to reach out just like you are! Isn't that in itself beautiful. That you aren't alone? Is that not one reason to cherish life? Furthermore, I am glad that you are not judgmental and you accept everyone as equals. That is the way of thinking that leads people to true happiness. Music is not only an escape. It is a passion and another reason to live. Hang in there, I'm sure you will find another reason to live because you have a beautiful mind. Beautiful mind's hold beautiful power.

    Much Love,

    Oh, I don't blame you for feeling so upset :( I used to be like you. I came from an extremely religious background. No boyfriends, modest clothes only, no music they didn't approve of. Super strict. It's really hard not to be negative and bitter when everyone around you is oppressing you. I only escaped when I finally got kicked out and my best friend's family let me move in. I'm not saying get yourself kicked out, but keep in mind you won't be under their control forever. It may seem like it, but you just have to keep fighting. I won't tell you that you need to just get over it, because that's not fair to say. Just stay strong. I'm sorry you're having to go through it :( If you every need to talk, you can always message me! Good luck! xx
