snowglobe child
I don't know what am i doing with my life. I don't know what i should or shouldn't do. What to aim for, i don't have any bigger dreams, goals and ambitions. I don't have any strict routine, i don't have daily to do's and aspirations. I feel like i just float from day to day without any serious awareness of my existence, of what life is about.
Heard today that no one really knows what they are doing in their 20s. Which is comforting, but at the same time hard to believe. Everyone's lives seem so perfect and organized, and i feel like i'm the only one who's lost, and it drives me insane. I'm in no meaning an adult mentally. I feel like i've been kept in this snowglobe my grandma created my whole life and no one taught me how to be an adult.
Obviously there's no tutorial for that and everyone's fucked up in this matter at some point. But i painfully see right now how little space i had when i was younger. Everything was top-down forced on me with no respect towards my choices, needs and preferences. I had everything settled without me knowing, i just had to simply follow the rules, the schedule and others' needs. No one taught me that my choices have power as well, that my needs and dreams matter and are important. And here i am, not knowing shit about life, being insecure about my every decision, feeling guilty whenever i choose myself and judging myself to the core for being like that. And it's painful at times. That i'm my worst enemy, my most critical judge, my biggest nemesis. Freedom only made me lost and hateful towards myself and my life. And i keep on wondering why parents just won't let their kids live their lives? Of course, reasonably. But children should be able to make their choices from the earliest age possible to learn that sooner or later their choices will be the only choices they'll have. No one will tell them what to do when they move out and live on their own. Why can't we respect kids' choices right now to make it a little bit easier for them in the future? To teach them self-sufficiency to get this horrible cycle broken once and for all?
I still wait for something, someone to magically direct me through life, to tell me what to do. And it's so toxic towards my own self, because it only causes me great codependency issues and attaching myself to every person possible just to feel this feeling of having a point in my life.
