I think about this like every day. I have an overwhelming fear that I'll die without truly experiencing life. And i'm young. I dont know if you guys have ever seen the movie Yes Man (not that great, but it has a good message) but my life feels like the main character's before he started saying yes to everything. I feel like theres some place better for me out there and sometimes i get this urge to just run away and get on a bus to the first place that pops into my head. When I die, I want to be able to look back on my life and say wow look at all the awesome, crazy things that I did and lessons I learned. I'm afraid I'll never be able to say that. Does anyone else feel like this?

    totally normal! i used to feel exactly like this every time i would see a plane or something...was in a 4-year long relationship and always had the urge to run away and drop everything...when my boyfriend dumped me and i had to move back home i started dating an australian guy and ended up traveling with him. Now i'm in sydney and am working here for one year and then traveling through asia. i honestly couldn't be happier even though i broke up with the australian guy ages ago and am on my own now. i've made so many new friends and had such an amazing experience i feel completely renewed and for the first time in my life i don't have the urge to run away. point being...FOLLOW THE URGE!

    I used to be like you but later on i did stuff in my life that i'm proud of so i stop feelin like that. Turns out, it's not that difficult to do interesting things. You just have to really do it when the time comes. Like, plan a far away vacation and actually do it. Apply for an amazing job even if you're underqualified. Hit on someone out of your league. You'll be suprised what can happen if you do things you were scared to do before.

    Completely normal. Sometimes i wish my life were more interesting than it actually is.
    I think that if you feel bored you should look for the things that will make your life makes sense to you.

    Remember this: LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT.

    i wouldn't worry. you can't think back on all your past experiences when your dead. just get out more and stop spending so much time thinking about it, I do the same and I'm 19
