I Don't Know What To Do With My Life

I thought I'd make this post because I know there is probably a lot of people who feel the same way I do and have no idea what to do with my life. 

I'm twenty four and if someone tells me where do I want to be in five years? Honestly, I have no idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an unhappy person. I'm currently studying a master's degree in Manchester and I'm happy that I've managed to do this. However, in two months I'll be moving back home to Wales and if you're wondering what's next after that. Honestly, no idea. Not a clue. All I know is I'll be surrounded by the best supportive people I know, and they are my family and my best friend. It may feel like you're taking a step back moving back home after living on your own, but it is not. It is hard knowing I could be living in Manchester and embracing the opportunity, I love the city of Manchester and I know for a fact I will return one day but at the moment I'm not in the best financial situation to do that. Also it's lonely. I haven't really made friends here and it's been tough to spend most of my days on my own. Don't get me wrong, I do like my alone time but it is getting to a point where I wish I had someone to talk to other than myself so moving back home will get me back to a support group that I can talk to. I'm planning on saving money, learning to drive (finally) and figuring out what's next. There's so much pressure to have your life figured out in your twenties but with this whole pandemic shaking the world up big time, it makes you realise that you need to ease on the pressure because one moment your life is sorted, next moment a pandemic comes crashing your way and nothing is normal anymore. 

Look at this way: Would you rather someone living on their own, stressing out over finding a job, feeling lonely and worrying about money or someone living with their parents, feeling safe and secure but also very happy. I know which one I'd rather. Parents lay the pressure off your kids, support them, and know you'll be there for them. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes but it's better to have the support of your family and friends rather than doing it on your own. 

Manchester I've enjoyed living here for under a year, but I know what I need to next and that is move back home to figure out where life will take me next. 

Now I know a lot of people feel this way no matter what age you are. I'm 24 and I still don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I do know I'd rather be happy than struggling on my own. There's no right or wrong way to do life but as long as you're happy is what really matters. Finding your support group also helps because you know they'll be there for you no matter what. Whether it's your family or friends, make sure you have that support system in place, and you'll be okay. 

Anyway, that's all I have to really say on the matter. Let me know if you're finding life just as confusing as I am right now. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post. 

See you then.
