Hello. I've somewhat frequented this sub and think I need to ask for help. You can just throw a comment for the title below, but I have a personal story to go along with why I'm asking this.
I'm 25 and live in Colorado. This past year had probably been the best for me in a while. I got a new girlfriend in December, I have about 5k in savings, I don't drink or do any drugs, and my life has been stable.
Recently, my relationship has kind of soured (I'm sure that's certainly a flag for this post). My girlfriend recently moved out to a new apartment and I've been trying to help her out. I ordered some furniture on amazon for her but had to cancel it because it's not what she wanted. Which is fine... it's her place after all, but it kind of hurt. I was looking around thrift stores and trying my hardest to pick some good furniture out. This just got to me for some reason. (To clarify, I'm not so petty as to end a relationship over furniture. There's also been some condescending and insensitive comments and other disagreements that make me think this relationship isn't gonna work out.)
I went for a walk around my old neighborhood and thought about how my life is going. And I came to the same conclusion I've had for years. I'm not happy with it.
I thought about just abandoning everything and moving to some family in Kentucky, but realized that's probably a poor idea in the long term (also I hate Kentucky). I currently live with my dad and brother, and living with them has had some difficulties, so I think maybe it's time to get serious about life and try striking it on my own.
And I'm scared. I don't know if I can do it.
I've got 2 jobs, but one of them I've grown absolutely sick of. The other has good pay and benefits and only 4 hours a day so I like that one, but it's not enough on it's own.
Some other thoughts have been about studying and getting some online degrees, but I'm still not fully sure what to do with myself. I could work out, work on hobbies, or whatever else, but I still don't have a final idea in mind.
So maybe hearing from you guys can help me figure it out.
