Saw this on Analyst Forum and thought it was worth a read:
A few weeks ago I asked everyone reading to share their biggest problem in life in the comment section. I’ve done this before — ask about what’s going on with you — and every time I do I notice two things.The first thing is that everyone has considerable problems. Not simply occasional tough spots, but the type of issue that persists for years or decades. The kind that becomes a theme in life, that feels like part of your identity. By the sounds of it, it’s typical among human beings to feel like something huge is missing.
The other thing is that they tend to be one of the same few problems: lack of human connection, lack of personal freedom (due to money or family situations), lack of confidence or self-esteem, or lack of self-control.
The day-to-day feel and quality of each of our lives sits on a few major structures: where we live, what we do for a living, what we do with ourselves when we’re not at work, and which people we spend most of our time with.
Making a major change in just one of these areas will necessarily make a major change in the feel and quality of your day-to-day life. It simply can’t stay the same.

Thoughts? Has anyone seriously considered if they're simply living a "most likely" or "statistically probable" life, given their past?
I used to: college dropout and bartender. Now I'm choosing between grad schools and last minute second guessing the decision not to join the army. One day you wake up and say to yourself "I want to do something else."
...and I WILL
We all live by default. As long as your heart is beating your body is living by default. However we can consciously make decisions to do something while we are alive.
Voluptatem optio nemo porro similique eaque. Aut placeat eaque reiciendis harum quia quia. Rerum sed neque nobis.
Accusamus odit at omnis reiciendis ea porro. Nihil eaque nemo optio officiis aspernatur. Laboriosam quia molestiae dicta molestiae qui eaque.
