I've been moving all over the east coast for almost 5 years now. I got itchy feet when I was 17 and never went back. I've attended several colleges for a variety of different interests but none of them have really stuck and I end up losing steam halfway through a year. I'm starting to wonder if I even have the ability to finish anything anymore. I take serving jobs and keep them for six months when I get another opportunity and pack my bags 'for a good while this time'. I've met a lot of amazing people, for better or worse, and I really do like who I've become. However, I can't seem to get over the fact that I'm still transitioning after five years of setting out to make my own way. I really don't mean to come off depressed, because I'm sure as hell not and I love every minute of my life and I always end up in interesting places; but what do you do when you feel like you've reached a stand still with yourself and your progression in many areas of life. It sometimes seems like it will be impossible for me to have a home, a college degree, or loved ones when I can't even manage the thought of a passion. For as much love of life that I have, I feel I have a certain pedantic void I keep allowing myself to be sucked into.

Does anyone else experience this? If so, how do you cope with these feelings?

[Dr.]

Yeah, I apologize for the eyesore. My internet messed up and when it came back on I had posted three and I couldn't figure out how to delete them... so... yah... a derp I sorry.

There are plenty of people who have put down roots and been career-focused and still haven't figured out their lives. It's happening all over. It seems to be a weird time we live in.

I lose steam, but remember that if you do not finish than youll never get to a higher level.  At one point you have to force yourself to sit down and finish.  And I can say patying and/or shrugging off the work usually starts of managable and innocent enough, but can quickly escalate into baaad...
