[QUOTE="WhatTheFuck, post: 810983, member: 8746"] It's hard for me to believe, but somehow it's been almost a year since I started this thread. I wish I had better news to report, i.e. a massive success story I achieved as a result of following members' advice. However, that would be a lie. Unfortunately, my future is still just as uncertain as ever. The search for clarity and direction in my life has been a long process, and honestly, I've pretty much given up on trying to plan it all out too far ahead. I think for now at least, I'm just going to keep kicking the can down the road. My main priority currently is just maintaining as much freedom and flexibility in my life as possible so that when I do finally see the right opportunity, I'll be ready to attack. With modern society and culture in such a state of flux, I think letting yourself get too locked into any one job, relationship, ideology, etc, is a surefire recipe for disaster. Yes, I am not currently pursuing a career per say in the traditional sense, and to some it might seem like I am just drifting-- passively coasting through life; just getting by. However, it's been far from a passive process. I am constantly trying new things, making moves, adapting my perspective...really just generally trying to stay open minded + positive, and I would really recommend others in a similar situation do the same. Anyway, for all those who are curious, here's a quick update on what I've done so far: -Moved out of my parents house into a 1BR apt in new city -Taught myself front end web development from scratch, have programmed some Javascript games and picked up some side projects building websites for clients. -Continued working out (although not as intensely as I'd like), eating healthy, and partying less. Still trying to figure out exactly what role alcohol should play in my life -Currently working as a server at a restaurant in the luxury hotel industry while I replenish my bank account, hustle a little on my side projects, and try to improve my game. Although I have had moderate success with women in my life, I am not anywhere near 100% satisfied and still have a lot of work to do. LOTS of ideas, and my brain is constantly working. In the end, I think all I really want is to escape the rat race, retire early, and have some little adventures and good sex along the way. [/QUOTE]
