*Twinkle* Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 A bit of a heartfelt thread... So no mickey taking... I feel like something is missing from my life... Yet at the same time, I'm not sure whether or not I have time to squeeze in whatever is missing... You see I'm at Uni for a couple of hours everyday, studying law... I love it, I feel passionate about my course and have really gotten into it this year... I work part time at a restaurant, like 3 nights a week... (More so in the holidays) I have a good circle of friends, infact several circles but some are closer to me than others... I enjoy going out with them to the pub, shopping, house parties etc... Beauty stuff like facials and manicures... But there is something missing... Most definately. I feel like I'm missing a passion for something... Like one of my mates is really into Horse riding... so thats her thing... another mate likes debating, so she's in the debating society at uni... I feel like that defines them, yet I dont do anything like that anymore... I'm probably just griping over nothing... I just feel a bit undefined.

PrincessSam Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I know exactly what you mean Caprice. It seems like a lot of people have 'something' that really gets them worked up, something for them to be passionate about, the thing that they'd most like to do with their spare time, but I don't feel like I have anything like that either...I don't really have anything helpful to say though I'm afraid, just that you're not alone in feeling a bit undefined.

Jabberwocky Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 We all go through this from time to time, no matter how busy we are, we feel that theres a little something thats not there. With me it turned out to be kids but I suppose each person has their missing thing to locate in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samc Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I felt like that but I think you have to recognise that some people 'find' theirs before others. I am only just finding my thing in life and sadly I am probably about 10 yrs old than you. So just experience new stuff until you find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2J Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Maybe you need a hobby Caprice. Sounds to me like your bored more than anything. Work, Study, Work, Study etc.. A young active lady like yourself must have some interests. *I think there is something wrong with me, I made a compliment and not a pish take!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel a bit undefined. i know what you mean. ive tried taking up various crafty hobbies on the past to try and let my creative side out....but eventually, they always seem to fall to the wayside. i feel like sometimes all i do is go to work. i work fulltime and i also work part-time on weekend evenings. needless to say, it does kind of b*gger up my social life sometimes, but i do still get to go out. i was actually thinking about the very same thing on the way home last night- spooky! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 A bit of a heartfelt thread... So no mickey taking... I feel like something is missing from my life... Yet at the same time, I'm not sure whether or not I have time to squeeze in whatever is missing... Some people are lucky in that they find their life's passion early on - others take time. There's an American writer called Joseph Capmpbell who wrote about 'finding and following one's bliss' - the thing that is your over-riding interest in life. Einstein is reputed to have said that the question he would ask God, if he had the chance, was 'Why was the universe created?'. When asked why, he said 'Because that would give me the opportunity to find out why I'm here.' I'm not saying that you're needing to ask or answer that question - just be aware that you're not alone. As for time - when you find 'that soemthing' you'll re-prioritse your life to fit it in. Trust me. I fit a lot in to my life by the simple expedient of not watching a lot of TV and being careful not to suffer fools gladly. You can waste anything of mine but my time. You're at teh start of your life's journey - take time to see and hear what's around you and you'll soon find your 'bliss'. And as for the suggestion of a partner - some would argue that the important thing is to know where you're going before you take on board crew.

A young active lady like yourself must have some interests. *I think there is something wrong with me, I made a compliment and not a pish take!* I love travelling, but thats hardly something I can slot into the week.... "Sorry I'm late boss, the flight home from Paris was delayed" If only! I just dont seem interested in anything. However, I enjoy helping people, so I've got onto the CAB as I'd probably enjoy that kind of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
