graduated, working, got super jacked. my next 3 years are pretty much set when it comes to career.
BUT I’M STRUGGLING WITH WHAT TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK.
i’m not around a bunch of people my age like i was my entire life. in school, you’re surrounded by people going through the same stage of life as you. there are endless friends to choose from, clubs, events, random shit you all do together.
now, i’m kinda just on my own. in school, yeah you had homework and exams, but there were always extracurriculars and activities outside of that.
work is like homework and tests. i go, i work and then i’m done. but where are all the clubs, orgs, and events at?! nowhere. i have to figure it out myself.
someone asked me what i’m looking forward to after graduation — not work-related
— and i literally had no answer.
this got me thinking... i need something to look forward to. but i don’t know what it is.
yeah, i’m stoked about my job(s), but i feel empty when i’m not working. i don’t know why, but i’m not fully happy. something’s missing. i gym, i blog, i watch movies — but socially, i don’t have much going on. i don’t really like raving or clubbing, and idk what else to do.
i’m even worried that when i move to the big city, i’ll feel even more lonely without my family around.
but i’ll figure it out.
right now though, i feel weird. sometimes really sad. weekends are just me going to the gym, then heading home to watch movies and shows by myself. i feel kinda empty.
the good thing is, i know what the pain point is. i just need to find the solution.
can't wait to read back at this in the future LOL! HOPEUFLLY i figure it out by then.
