How do I deal with not really knowing what I want in my life?

There’s so many things these days that I feel like I want to explore and experience but mentally lately in my head I always run into a bit of a brick wall and then tend to just retreat back to my comfort zone and stay there. Like for instance there’s days where I feel like I really want to travel and see new things but I’m always worried I’m going to get lost or get into an accident. Or that I’m not really going to find whatever it is I’m really looking for and then all that time and effort is going to be wasted. I feel like it can be so easy to just pick myself up and do things but again it’s like I’m attached to some kind of elastic string that always pull me back to what I’m completely comfortable doing.

Something we all do in times of adversity.
Even if it’s ultimately unsatisfying.

Kinda hard to suggest you pack a bag and head to the airport; find a standby flight and just see what happens, at the moment. - given the mess covid has created everywhere.

Probably safer to sit tight and wait it out before attempting anything too ambitious.
But there are endless possibilities should ‘normality’ in any form return.
