Idk maybe if I just sick around a bit longer, maybe something good will happen.

I was in that state 10 years ago. Something good did happen and I'm happy I stuck around for it. It was worth all the misery. In fact, the misery raises the value of all the good things.

Did you do something for it happen? Because sometimes I think "Nothing changes, if nothing changes" is true and but then again I get tired of doing things, I'll spiral back to "I'll just stick around" mood.

Yes, I changed a lot of things, but I also met a lot of wonderful people that made my life much better.
I do believe that you have to take action. I kinda love being lazy, but I never feel particularly good after an entire day on the couch. The more I do, the more I accomplish, the better I feel.
