mostly just doing the things that I’m somewhat passionate about.
often I’m used to tag around people and do the minimum of what’s expected of me.
so finding my own way through great emotional stimulation is the thing that works lately. (even though I don’t have certain life goals etc)
maybe a change of scenery?
or doing more things that excites you?
I think that sometimes great decisions don’t stem from a certainty so don’t dwell on not knowing what to do. I accepted that it’s normal and the best thing for me is to do things that make me happy

spent the last five or so years in a maze of ennui and self-pity, but i have in the last 18 months slowly been clawing my way towards something resembling the life i want to be living.
i can see the end of the tunnel now, but strangely that amplifies my impatience. when things seemed more hopeless it was perversely sort of freeing - i didn’t know where i should be going, so i wasn’t in a rush. now that i have the full map in my hands i have nothing left to do but drive towards the end. that’s exactly what i wanted, in a sense, but now i have the burden of actually executing on the promises i made to myself - turns out that’s harder than making the promises in the first place! who knew

honestly what helped me was doing different hobbies
i always liked reading and writing but it wasnt until i decided to do a filmmaking course that my live for filmmaking came back
sometimes you gotta try new things and even old things to help you figure out what you are passionate about
you could even combing two things you love
its trial and error but definitely follow what you love or take time to explore what you do

Write it out, like you’re doing here! everyone has already said you’re super young so find hope and peace in that whenever you‘re panicking about what you should be doing. Don’t worry too much about love, that’s going to come at its own time. your career will take shape over time and you always have chances to change it.
How do I feel grounded (context, i’m 30, feeling decently settled). I constantly make lists of what I need to do or want to do (these are separate!). Today I need to do xyz at work, I need to make plans for this weekend, I need to buy new cat food, I want to work out twice, I want to cook something with zucchini, I want to listen to a new podcast episode
Some other things: I always try to have an artistic outlet. I ask questions about things I don’t know (this is everywhere, work, at the cafe, in yoga class, I Google if I’m curious). I go to therapy and when I make goals I only think of my own happiness.

have you ever bought a mystery book from a bookstore thinking that it will just be a crap book left over from the unsold ones ? I was willing to take the RISK.
AND I was left with one of the best books I’ve ever read: “The Great Believers”
check it out ;))
