What is your bumming around lifestyle like? I'm all curious, of a sudden. I'm currently a bum myself and am looking into getting out of this hellhole. It's different if you're financially set or on your way somewhere, academically or whatever - in my case I'm not. Not by a long shot. I wake up each morning asking myself asking wtf am I doing and where am I going in my life. Overwhelmed, I just want to go back to sleep. I'm getting old :( No more fantasy living. Heck I'm 24, last I check I was 17, I swear. (I'm embarrassed to confess my age but I want to show how serious $hit I'm in) I want professional counselling. Right now my week usually consist of hanging out of friends for movie or beer, surf the web like TA, train at my dojo alot, listen to trance, read the news, casually read topics that interest me, help a friend w/ his home renovations to which he isn't paying me much - understandably, I'm not expecting much cash from him. I know I'm avoiding the inevitable and I must figure out my life very soon, career wise or even go back to school. I do all sort of things to fool myself, prograstinating in making life decisions, like picking odd things like trying to be multilinguist, looking into photography as a hobbie, taking up a financially security course so I might be rich one day. I know I'm not dumb, pathetically lazy - maybe. Definitely scared.

I used to be like that, just sitting at home downloading music, looking at porn, watching movies until my mates dad offered me a job managing the computer network at his company. I don't have any qualifications but I got the knowledge by sitting on my arse playing with my computer :tongue2
Now instead of sitting at home browsing TA im sitting at work browsing TA :stongue:
"I wake up each morning asking myself asking wtf am I doing and where am I going in my life"
LOL I did that EVERY morning but I was to lazy to do anything about it.
I had never worked a day in my life until I reached 19 (currently)
I'm just happy im finally getting some work experience now before it's to late. |

We all knew wed look back at the tears and laugh, but we never knew wed look back at the laughter and cry.
Youll probably never have it this easy again. 24? God, thats only 3 years away for me. Ill still be in school. I will be in school until i am 27 years old. Probably have some nice debt while I am at it. All im doin these days is watching anime, drinking, hanging out with my brother. and i work 20 hours a week at a hole (BestBuy). it. I work out and run and hike and go on walks. Ill take my pipe onto a mountain and smoke for a couple of hours. Or ill do it at the mornin.
Point is, I know that Im capable enough to pick up and do well at anything. As long as you have confidence youre set (yeah theres a little more to it than that but not much).
Sounds like you arent so much worried about where you are as where you are gonna be. Right now its pretty sweet. I dont think you should fritter your peaceful hours away with bull. Either get your together or quit bitchin :D
"The Quarter-Life Crisis
by unknown
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.
You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.
You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out."

I oh so well know the feeling. I've been going through this for the last year or so and in 2 3 months it will ... SEPARATE ... meaning I will have to make a life changing decision that I simply can't :/
I've got an ok job but I don't envision being there in two years and my parents are moving in 2 3 months and I gotta figure out what I'm doing by then .... crisis!
Get yourself figured out through every step you make is what I'm being told but when I have no room to breath and think or have no stone to set my foot upon it makes me wanna lose myself :/ |

I certainly hope we're not all supposed to have our lives completely figured out by the time we're 24 or 25. I'm 19 right now and I don't think I really know exactly what I want to be doing. I do have a vague idea and I'm working towards that right now, but I'm taking my time and trying not to stress about the things that don't really matter so much. I'm just now starting to develop a sense of purpose and place although its still shaping.
I look forward to the future but I'm in no rush to get there. I'll enjoy what I have right now and use everything I've got to squeeze every last ounce of fun out of today. |

hey i definitely know what your life is like!
i'm taking some time off from school so i'm just working for a lil bit now b4 i move...
but i usually work at night...
everyday, i'll wake up at perhaps 1 or 2...sometimes 3...and i never ask myself the question, but someone else will be like..."sooo, what r u going to do today?"
i'll sort of tilt my head and look up at the sky and say, "well, i dunno."
the rest of the day usually entails drinking heavily, watching movies, downloading music (i mean "buying" music), and trying to cause some sort of trouble for s and giggles...
i make it a point to do the crossword every day...and i usually work on it for a good couple of hours in hopes of finishing it...
i've taken up darts and started playing pool again if you need ideas for some new habits...:D
