Chronophobia

Posted 03-29-2011 at 06:37 PM by Daxter King
I think I have it. I can't help but feel I am wasting my life away if I don't get out right now and start doing stuff. What kind of stuff? I don't even know, my mind just tells me to get out there and do fun stuff. It tells me I am wasting my youth if I do not do something. Every now and then I will have a rational thought about how much more free time I have while remaining youthful, but that goes away in seconds, as I then think about it more.

I think my last blog stems from this. I imagine community college as some extension of high school, without most of my friends. Which I know at least the latter of is true. I loathe the idea of living with my parents for another year, for reasons I'd rather not get into. But at the same time the thought of the massive debt I would accumulate by going straight into a university frightens me greatly. But then the chronophobia kicks in and the two fight each other until I just choose to ignore them both. Then I think of the time just wasted and how stupid I am for wasting so much of it not committing to a decision. At times I know I am probably expecting too much of the college experience, but then I think of the possibility. There it would actually have the chance of being a better situation, however slim, I can't really see a massive change in situation still living here, since nothing would really change. And its that chance I want the most I think. But then debt.

Just dumping my thoughts on some stuff.

Don't worry too much. Everyone feels like that at one time or another.

What Nate said. I've felt like that too once, but the way I see it is that so long as I'm living for the present and making the most out of it, or doing what I have to do so that I can have a better future, then there's no need to worry about it. But of course, what works for me may not work for others.

Maybe you need a short holiday doing something different from and more fun than what you normally do.
