How do you stay hopeful ?

I started self improvement recently as a 19 year old, but it feels like no matter how much i try i feel like i’m gonna be stuck living this boring and unsatisfying life. Sometimes I just wanna leave everyone in my life behind and start new at a new place but obviously that’s not possible.

I also wanna make new friends and expand my circle with people i share similar values and interests with but it seems hard to do especially when everyone’s already in their own bubbles with their friend groups.

I basically don’t like my life right now and i’m trying to fix it but it just seems impossible somehow. How do you guys stay hopeful throughout your journey ?
