Is it normal to have the feeling that life is..

supposed to be something more?

I get depressed when i think about the stereotypical life. Grow up, go to school, get a wife, go to work, get kids... and thats it!!
I don't want my life to be like that.
I would like it to be Full of adventure and exploration.
A life where something is happening not just once in a week..
wouldn't that be great!? or is it just me?

I can't count the number of times i have been dreaming of just jumping into a movie and join the adventure.

I would like to just take a boat or a train or even WALK to an unknown destination.
ok, so i might just exaggerate this a bit too much right now.. But you get my drift, right? Am i the only one or what?

Is It Normal?

  • Thats exactly how I feel. I feel reckless and I do risky stupid things that can get me hurt. Because I'm bored...:D

  • I totally feel the same way. Growing up I used to ask my mother what's our purpose in this life? Is finishing school, getting a job, getting married and having children our only purpose? Shouldn't there be other things? You know..I've always been different than any of the kids at my age, I knew then I wanted to do something different with my life. Didn't want to be stuck behind a desk in front of a computer all day. Everyone thinks that you should become a doctor, lawyer, engineer etc. Well I say screw that! And that's why I'm in culinary school now and after I finish this I want to travel the world and study Egyptology. I'm 19 years old and I've travel 3 countries so far I'm hoping to raise that number :) My advise is do what you feel in your heart. Do what makes you happy.

  • so far, i dont believe im all tht grown up yet, (actully, not close at all but, Shhhh...) Anyway, i totally feel that way like all the time, not just going places, but also just jumping up and doing something crazy, in my classes i will just be sitting in class and just get this intense urge to bonce out my seat, stand on the desk and dance for no reason with no music.. or i'll just stare out the window, count cars, guess how old the person is that is driving, and guess where there going, wishing it was me... so hey, your NOT alone on tht 1.

  • Is it is absolutely normal, I feel the same way. The good think about it is you don't to abide by societies rigid expectations. You don't need a states education, find something your passionate about, and all the resources are available waiting for you. Everyone is so afraid to not go by the safe route, and usually end up not as happy as they could have been.
