I felt the same a few weeks back, this was when i left Directi & joined some other company,I had a good job, Good college , I am probably the only one in my entire class who makes some decent cash, Everything good. Still a feeling of Emptiness was killing me. Fortunately i was lucky enough to find a question for myself.

“If this day sucks, what would be an ideal day in my life?”

Boom, I had literally prepared a list of things that i would want to do everyday & not get bored…It was seriously stupid but still worth doing it, Today i at-least know what are my immediate goals & longterm goals….

I’m glad I stumbled on this post. I’m 22 and I feel the same way. I thought going to college and picking a definite career path would provide stability and purpose but now as I’m preparing to graduate I’m not sure I made the right choice. I never really wanted to go to college; it was just something I did to convince myself that I could plan my future and make decisions and that in the end something could work out for the better. I wasted so much money and time and now I don’t really have anything I want for myself. l’m more unsure of myself now than I ever was and I think maybe I just won’t really enjoy anything that comes my way; that it doesn’t really matter anyway because I’ll be unhappy with any practical job.

How can we know what we’re meant for? How many missteps can we take until we find it?
Twenty something is still pretty young though, right? We still have years ahead to figure it out. However directionless and uncertain we are now it’ll probably work out in the end, right? Probably not how we wanted it to but we’ll find something meaningful… hopefully. Got to keep searching I guess.

Have you seen the price of gold recently? And have you heard of the phrase “worth her/his weight in gold”? Nuff said!!!

Man. That was depressing. This isn’t dark humour. It’s just depressing. A great read, but depressing.

Depressing isn’t always bad. As one of my idols once said.

“Happiness? Well I know it’s good and all that… but… who ever did something because they were happy?”

Look at it this way. Maybe you haven’t got what you planned on having when you were fifteen but at least, you know, you’re forging a path. Or at least motorcycling it down to Goa. You wouldn’t have done that otherwise. Think of it as Experience.
And stay away from anti depressants. :P

The problem with a post like this is that some people take it rather literally. I would like to take this opportunity to let people know I AM NOT DEPRESSED!

Bosey: I AM NOT DEPRESSED.

Lawyer Girl: You spell aptitude with a “d” not a “t”. I did take one and it said I should study law. Stupid test. As for touching an HCHHSSTT and turning her to gold… what’s the point in that?

Note to Bosey – Bosey i cant agree with you more !!!!! this son of yours needs a good shake up – and you know whats funny ? i think he gave up at 15 itself!! the eternal pessimist- and i thought iiii was bad. Thing is .. there isnt a thing that he has touched which hasnt turned to gold. He just needs to figure what to touch next ( and no Pot, dont say an HCCSSTT whatever).

Note to Pot- DO A FREAKING APTITUTE TEST !!

My God! If I had felt like this at the age of about to be 27 I would have killed myself! One would think you really have nothing to look forward to… all I did was write about loneliness and four people have gone up in arms about why on earth I am feeling lonely! I am 61… I reserve the right to be lonely and depressed. I truly don’t have much time left to make un-realised dreams come true! But you? What right do you have to dig yourself a hole and bury yourself in it? Wake up…I know you haven’t slept… and smell the coffee. It really smells good if you gave yourself a chance to appreciate it. As for parties without booze… there’s NOTHING stopping you from doing the same any day of the week! And I strongly suggest you do…
