Title mostly.

I’m doing fine right now, had an argument with my brother but overall I got my path forward ironed out, but I can’t shake the feeling that all of what I do is just some pathological need to stumble forward into what I’m supposed to do but rather than actually being a meaningful calling or direction.

Maybe I’m just depressed.

    Absolutely (I mean if I had a path in life).

    It has always boggled my mind some people just like… Pick something and stick with it. Like, really? You just decided you wanted to be a teacher, went to college for it, graduated and now have the job you’ve wanted for years? How the fuck?

      I can’t imagine doing something 8 hours a day, 5/7 days of the year for the rest of my life. I think 3 shifts a week is more than I could ever be happy with.

      I’ve never stuck with anything that I didn’t have friends doing alongside me. My friends liked to lift after school? Guess I’ll set up a lifelong habit of fitness. My friends are watching one piece? Guess I’ll just straw-hat-pirates .

      A lot of people choose being a teacher because at the very least you’re pretty much guaranteed health benefits. They’re not great, but you’ll be able to get your meds at the very least.
