It's somewhat comforting knowing that I'm not the only one going through this at the moment. I was almost certain I wasn't, but actually hearing my thoughts from someone else's mouth is reassuring.
This is it; I know the voice well. It seems as if I have two of them though, one that tells me to live how I want to live and do the things that will make my happy <b>now</b>, while the other voice thinks more towards the future and being responsible for a future family. I tell myself to live day-by-day, but at the same point, I must be rational. The thought that overlies it all is that regardless of what I decide to do, I don't want to look back at my life and regret anything!
With your current job, are you happy at least? Does it give you the time to go out and be adventurous and find your idea(s) of excitement? I'm 22 and making roughly $60k/year, but I'm also crammed in an office building with no windows for a 1/3 of my day.
I've decided. Living my life now and doing the things that make me happy is what I need to do. I'm going to be miserable sitting around all day at work thinking about what I 'could' be doing. Hopefully I'll have made the right decision.
