My goodness, how do people live with existential crises!? Seriously, in case you're wondering here's some information on existential depression in gifted children. Mostly it's just a really interesting topic.
I feel like every few minutes when I'm thinking about what I want to do with my life a new idea is popping into my head.
Maybe I should go back to college and get a Masters in English? I mean it would open up more career opportunities in the writing and english field. That can only make sense, right? RIGHT~!?
What about just moving back to my old college town and getting whatever full time job I can muster and live with some friends and just kind of save up and ponder life? That's not wasting time or money, right? RIGHT~!? UGH!
You know what, the peace corps! Best idea ever. I've always wanted to travel to a new country and get lost in a culture unknown to me. Clearly a good choice. Who doesn't want to go to Albania. Right?
Maybe I should just apply for all the jobs that are even remotely close English/teaching? That can't go wrong, right?
What if I just move to a random state and become a hermit?
Backpack through Europe?
Become a professional blogger?
Youtuber?
What if I just kind of review everything online?
What if I just... get a menial job and wonder where my life went?
OH GOD, THE CHOICES!?
Yeah, that's definitely the chorus of things that go through my mind on a regular basis with this whole existential crises thing. It's exhausting. It's annoying. And it still leaves me with basically no answers. I've seriously looked into the Peace Corps for a few years and each time I'm left uncertain and terrified.
