I’m 23M and finished uni last year and basically done nothing for the past 8 months. I have found an enjoyment of going to the gym and eating well and stuff but it’s not really a passion. It feels like a necessity to feel better, look better and be healthy for my future. I’m a massive thinker. I think about what I want to do. I have so many ideas in my head. Like I want to go travelling, I want to maybe start this hobby and that hobby. But I’ll be like “right tomorrow I’ll wake up early and start this hobby or research it or whatever. Tomorrow will be the day”. But then the day rolls round and I just don’t do it. I go to the gym. Look for a full time job (I work part time at a bar right now). And I feel like such a loser. It’s a little corny but I watch Marty supreme yesterday and I was like man I wish and want his level of mind set and drive. I want to get so engrossed in something where people think I’m losing my mind. And think I’m crazy and I’ll go to the ends of the earth for it. But I feel like I never pursued anything when I was younger. I was a good kid at school. Have a business marketing degree (which is probably the career I’ll go into if I could find a bloody job). But I want to do a side project that I can focus all my spare time into instead of playing meaningless video games. Something that makes me creative. Something that gets my mind ticking. And perhaps something that can gain a bit of monetary value. I do have hobbies sort of. I love films, music, video games, gym. But I don’t really have a physical passion. I also have a few interests where I’m more knowledgeable than the average person. Like I absolutely adore F1 and have basically grown up with it since I was a baby so I’m pretty knowledgable when it comes to that. But I just feel lost. I want my life to matter in a big way to the world or even in a small way to the world but big to me. But I don’t know how to find that. I’ve been thinking of photography and videography. I love movies I find them fascinating and I find photography from others incredible an inspiring but I just don’t know how to take that leap of faith. TLDR; I’m 23 and I feel like I’ve just coasted through life. I want my 20s to be risk taking, to go crazy passionate about something and to go to the end of the world for that one thing but I don’t know how to find that thing submitted by /u/RaggyTheRagingRuggy
