How do you find a sense of purpose when you feel completely disconnected from everything?
I’m 17, about to graduate from high school, and I have absolutely no idea what I want to be. It’s a terrible feeling. I don’t even know what I should be aiming for right now. Money? Happiness? Should I just be a hedonist?
Why should I even care? I often feel disconnected, like I’m just passing by, and in 60 years or so, I’ll be gone anyway. Should I really care about what I do with that time, or what kind of legacy I leave behind?
Growing up, my dad was pretty wealthy. I got to experience the kind of riches a lot of people spend their whole lives chasing, and honestly... it’s not really any better than what I have now.
So, what is the point of it all? How did you guys find your purpose, or at least figure out what to aim for?
