I Am Sad

I can't believe I am about to make the biggest decision of my life.
On few occasion I told my parents I want to quit college. I am just done with my second year. I been going through some kind of " mid life crisis" since 18. Which is you know questioning about life and what is the meaning of life. I think whats the point of doing anything when you are just gonna die one day and not to mention yeah finding a job, something we can't escape. I feel trapped and been depressed for a very long time.
I can study if I wan but I have long since lost interest. I been afraid to tell my parents but now the cat is out of the bag. Surprisingly , my parents are ok with it. Dad says its ok if I wanna quit and its ok if I don't want to get a job. And even if I wanna go overseas just do the paperwork and he will sign anything.
I didn't expect it to be this easy. I told them lemme think about it. Many times I asked myself what do I want in life? What would I do if I have a lot of money? The answer is money dont matter a whole lot to me. I think there is more to life than stuck at where I am , study , married, get a job etc.
I can't complain really. I have a decent life. Roof over my head, internet connection, food bla bla. I guess I just want to experience something different, go somewhere alone. I been living in such a sheltered life that I crave for something more than this. And whats so wrong dropping out of college?
I been given a choice and I hope I dont regret it

You can always go back to colege but you cant get your time back. Go out and get some experience and enjoy yourself.

Nobody lies on their deathbed wishing they spent more time at work.
