@TheCrystalShip:
I can't see your picture, but basically, I've been upset about everything.
It's kinda dumb, because I've recently gotten referrals/offers for/from a lot of groups and organizations in the area, and I've met a lot of new people. So I should be happy, but I'm not? And I feel like most people I know have a lot more hope for the future than I do? Like we should wait a decade and things will pan out, but I'm not so sure? I just wish I had a crystal ball. Or maybe a cuddle buddy.
I'm no advocate for placing in hopes "years down the line… life will be better than it is today". I think it's important to find something that makes you feel fulfilled today.
I remember a few years back, during my 3rd year in college, I was making excellent grades and earned the respect of my peers and teachers, but I wasn't really happy at all. The general definition of success doesn't always lead to happiness.
So I no longer entrust success (good job, good social life, money) to bring fulfillment into my life.
That's why I'm now trying to work my way to be an Entrepreneur. I want the excitement and thrill of the start up business. I want to compete with the best in the industry. I want to aim for higher limits! I want an Adventure!
Maybe what you're going after currently isn't fulfilling to you. I believe that once you find that thing that gets you ambitious, you'll be okay :)
