What should I do. I'm kind of stuck on what I should do next in my life?
Last year I graduated university (May '08) and got a great job a few months out of school. I was completely independant. My family was 500 km away. Then last March I was laid off and came home and got back my old summer job working landscaping with my Dad. Now the season is over and I don't know what to do. I'm interested in vintage clothing and have managed to made a bit of money on Ebay selling. I'd like to learn more about textiles and millinery but I don't know how to go about it. I'd like to move to the city, but my aunt and uncle want me to stay with them. I'm worried about it because, though they're very nice, they're very regimented and bourgeois while my family is a bunch of redneck bohemians. I have nearly $10,000 saved up. I'd like to travel some day too, Just land some place in Europe or something and keep walking until I get bored in a few weeks. I don't have any friends or obligations to tie me down. My mother is desperate to keep me around. I'm 23 and feeling very restless. I don't want to go back to school because it was so suicidally dull. I did virtually nothing for 4 years and kept getting As and I've never been more depressed in my life. I love actually doing things rather than pushing around paper. I've worked 80 hour weeks scrubbing toilets and pushing lawnmowers all day and I'm not afraid of work. I'm just scared that I'll just wither and die in this pedestrian town I'm living in.
