Ha! If only it were that easy. I've spent most of my life being a goody two shoes, only doing what other people told me to do and never really exercising any individual free will. Passion? What passion?
I'm aware of the irony of reading what more people, this time strangers on the internet, are telling me to do. I doubt I'll see the answer in a web browser.
For the time being I'm simply trying to do something I've never done before every week. It doesn't have to be drastic, maybe something like trying out a new recipe or taking a photo of a different neighborhood or going for a moonlight run at 3am. Sort of a "throw lots of things at the wall and see what sticks" approach.
- littledude 15y agoi took a look at your past comments. i'm getting a little personal but i hope you don't mind. you have the financial resources and seem like a mature person, you should move out. think of it like an investment in learning the skills to be fully independent. it'll also build self confidence and trust in your faculties. separating yourself from the social conditioning of your parents will give you the breathing room to develop your own intrinsic goals and interests.

- PerryCox 15y agoThis is probably the best advice in the whole thread. Nothing could be a better investment in yourself then living on your own. I for one didn't realize how much parents take care of for you. Once I moved out on my own I really got a sink or swim feeling, and that was the jolt I needed.
- kpennell 15y agoMove out, or better, move abroad. There are a ton of fun places out there to see, live, make friends. The time away from your scene will probably help you reassess what you care about.
- groaner 15y agoHeh, I don't mind. Anything I say on the internet can and will be used against me. I appreciate your advice and it's definitely something I plan to follow.
