There may be many different opinions, but let me just organize a few directions. First of all, let's talk about something a little different. My short opinion is not the answer. 1. It's better to separate what you like from what you make a living doing. - I like riding motorcycles, so I can work as a delivery person vs [Work less and earn more, have more leisure time] In my free time, I can ride my Harley Davidson and go to a nice coffee shop. - I like cooking, so I can work in a very large kitchen and handle orders non-stop vs [Work less and earn more, have more leisure time] In my free time, I can cook calmly for myself or my lover or family. - I like cars, so I can work on fixing cars all day long vs [Work less and earn more, have more leisure time] I can relax in my garage, drink coffee, and fix or upgrade my car. Which one is better? 2. Even if you don't know it at that age, [It's okay!] Even if you don't know what your wish is right now. If someone asked you "Tell me just one thing you really want," and you were truly sincere, what would it be? [[If I could keep all the experiences, thoughts, and understanding of the world I have now and go back to being twenty years old]] That's it... Then, really... really, I think I could live a really great life... But it can't be like that, right?... This is where it is. At that age, you don't know... [You don't know].. Looking back, the one thing I really regret is that one word. If even just one person had looked me straight in the eye and said that one word to me... I always think about it. [It's okay!] I don't know... It seems like something I could grasp, but it's not quite there... That vague and maybe a little bit sleazy feeling... The unpleasant sensation of ambiguity... What should I know? But I also don't know what I should know. The frustration of wanting to know something but not knowing what it is... [It's okay!] That's [normal]! If someone had said that to me with conviction at the time... I would have regretted it... If you are 21 years old, it is easy to think that you are an adult. You're right, you are... But let's rephrase it... [Adult Year 2] Do you get the feeling? If you live to be 100 years old, you would be in your 80th year as an adult. You've only been an adult for two years. How much can you know? It's natural not to know. On the contrary, it is dull and perhaps dangerous to think that you know everything after only two years... You seem to be working hard, which is good. First of all, you have to know how to work hard. (But don't say casually that you did your best. If you did your best, you should die... You have to work hard at mealtimes and bedtime too... If you didn't do it, then you can say that you pretended to do your best.) Anyway, first of all, try to live a good life. That way, you'll have a better chance of getting a job where you can work less and earn more. Living with your head down for a while... You need a period of time when you suck up the bitter and dirty things from others... Then you'll have a better chance of finding a comfortable place. If you don't know what you want, first of all, work hard... properly. Water at 95 degrees Celsius will never boil. (Pass for those who say that 95-degree water bubbles^^;) First, boil it to 100 degrees... Many people break down because they don't work hard enough (even though they think they worked hard). Think about it calmly and slowly while you do so... what you want. Actually, this is difficult because there is one thing you have to decide or determine before that. That way, the answer will come out. That is... What are you going to do? Before that, what you need to find is [How are you going to live?]... and before that, what you need to decide is [Why are you living?]? To do so, you need to think about [What is the world?] [What is life?] [What does it mean to live?] It's hard to say [I know] or [I knew] because these can be [unknowable problems], so you can express it as a [decision]. Therefore, if you can [decide] what living means, If you can [decide] what life is and what the world is, then you will be able to [decide] why you are living and how you are going to live... Then, what you want now... what you should want will be [decided]. It's not easy for a 2-year-old adult yet, right? ^^ Work hard at anything Think carefully. Ps. Since you know how to row hard, there is a possibility that you can reach land... Of course, if you don't really put your heart into rowing, there's no chance of reaching land. Instead! While slowly deciding which direction to go, Europe or North America... Don't be sure that everything will be successful just because it is decided and done. Rowing hard doesn't guarantee you'll avoid a typhoon... Sometimes there are cases like that... People who worked really hard but failed (I'm half of that kind of person)... I rowed hard, yes, but I was rowing against the typhoon.... There's nothing we can do about it. You still have to keep looking at the horizon. Even if you see a typhoon... You have to keep checking where you are going... and whether you are heading towards that dark cloud... Then, the probability of heading towards the typhoon will [decrease]... rather than just rowing blindly. I think it's good that I was able to post this because my worries are like this... Worrying is different from anxiety. Think about these healthy worries calmly and deeply... Cheer up. And... It's okay~~!!!
