FYI: you're 20. In the1940s, men 18-19 years old were storming the beaches of Normandy.

This is an argument I've used plenty of times in the past, and I do still feel it holds true. We should feel lucky to be living today in the situation we're in now rather than living 80 years ago where we'd all be in a warzone watching all of our brothers getting killed. I'm glad that the worst thing I have to worry about in my twenties is the decision of whether or not to move out of my parents' house. <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-haha.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":happy:" title="Happy :happy:" data-shortname=":happy:" /><br />

Don't blame your parents for being slowlaners (or for anything else), take charge of your life and do everything that you want to do.<br />
<br />
This is the biggest opportunity of your life, and the beginning of your adventures. So stop tormenting yourself with being depressed, and start doing things instead.

Looking back at my message, yes, I was definitely trying to put blame on my parents for not understanding and supporting my Fastlane aspirations. That's another thing with the ego taking over. Stop complaining about the hand I was dealt and start taking action for myself.<br />

Once you leave a place of work and incite some sort of change, you usually want to change other things but if you don't keep things moving then you just stagnate into your old patterns.

I felt this exactly when I left my job around the end of March this year. The environment did no good for me and I was running all of these negative feedback loops in my head. I got out and started this new job from home, but I'm still working for someone else, and I feel myself slipping back into the same headspace as when I was in the other job. <br />
<br />
I'm unable to move until about the end of October due to commitments with another group in the area. Until then, I will start to develop some skills that will help me help others, and I'll develop more clarity of thought and higher focus to ensure that I can take this next step head on. Overall, it'll still be a trial by fire, but as I said before, "Where there's a will, there's a way". Still sounds so corny, though.</div>
