Quarter life crisis?

I’m about to be 21, and I’ve never felt this hopeless.

I feel like I don’t have a grasp on my life. I feel like society is poison. I’m struggling worse than ever with mental health.

I literally want to run away to the corner of the world and live self sufficiently. I want to know everything I need to know to only need myself.

Society is poison, and I think learning to accept that is a big part of growing up imo. You're probably in a transition phase between your adolescence and adulthood, and that's a really rough time emotionally, at least for most people. Don't have much advice except to fight until the sun rises. Morning's a beautiful thing.

This song always helps me when I get angsty about my existence. There's some lines in there that really resonate with you once you realize you don't have to meet the expectations of a society that doesn't care about you. You're free to do whatever you want with your time.

At peace in the worst of times
I'm dedicated to the moment
I crossed out the world
That only tries to feed on the hate inside
Preying on all that you fear
Not satisfied until you're tamed

Let the universe deal with commotion
It's everything we'll never know
Just another wave in the ocean
Takes you where you need to go
And if you understand that you're defenseless
You just might let it go
Geronimo

It's just a bag of bones
But it's everything I need
I'm ready to go
Forward strides are leaving it all behind
Finally starting to heal
No longer need to numb the pain

Forget about what you think is hopeless
Remember there's more room to grow
Outside the walls that have you surrounded
And always wanting more
But the less you got the more it seems worth it
It's not impossible, just logical

Reversing gravity
Making your way to heights you've never seen before
Gratified
There's no need to comprehend this
Force you're feeling
Seeing the world and all her beauty with new eyes
Gratified
I see clearly for the first time in my life

Every season spent in solitude
(Spent in solitude)
With poison pumping through my heart and my veins
(Through my heart and my veins)
Lost my footing
I was walking a tightrope
(Walking a tightrope)
Seeking balance but it never came
I believe I found my way
Know this time I've found my way

Reversing gravity
Making your way to heights you've never seen before
Gratified
There's no need to comprehend this
Force you're feeling
Seeing the world and all her beauty with new eyes
Gratified
I see clearly for the first time in my
Clearly for the first time in my
Clearly for the first time in my life

Fuck society. Fuck everything. Get an income. Do what makes you happy. Ignore everything else.
Welcome to the real world

Honestly, it's seldom compelling to offer an opinion when the author isn't present to interact with anyone taking the time and making an effort to respond on the mysterious questions of life. 😏

Nah i think you'd have to be oblivious not to have those questions in today's society. The only non-BS thing i can say is to ignore society, it tends to flip back and forth so in about ten years it'll be the reverse

Weirdly enough, numerology helped me figure out my life's path. Message me if you want to go that route. I also got a lot of help from some typology systems.

It is normal to feel this way, just worry about studying something that you are passionate about and not stopping doing the things that you really enjoy doing.

It'll be fine! Read the message I sent you.

Your journey to self love has only just begun, but take some happiness in knowing it will be the most beautiful journey of your life.
I'm 46 and feel the same most of the time. When I start trying to achieve goals it gets better
I’m 2 1/2 x older and I want to ditch the world and live on an island. I think you’re on to something.

Take it one step at a time, nobody has it all figured out ❤️

Doing the self sufficient thing would be really cool if you can do it✌️

Hangout with friends have fun

Why do you feel that way?
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
More and more I feel the same. I've watched people, especially older ones grow more bitter and sour towards each other. I've watched our economy transform into a machine of short product life cycles and credit/debt management service industries. Cheap entertainment and calorie dense unhealthy convenience food is more available than ever but healthy and enriching food and experiences is growing ever further from the reach of the average person.

All of our priorities are currently backwards. And every social system we have is currently set up to promote keeping them that way.

The idea of just getting away from everything in a cabin somewhere just seems more and more appealing over time.

Yah, not to minimize your struggle in any way, but I think that's normal for 21. At least I remember it being that way.
