One of the reasons that I've always felt that I don't know where I'm going (in a metaphysical sense, I ALWAYS know where I'm going in the real world!!) in life is the fact that there are no ties to any one place.
I am currently doing a job that is ok (I've just been given a payrise apparently) but it's not something that I really want to do. It certainly doesn't pay enough to get anywhere (nice)to live down in the Home Counties.
I am doing a degree in a subject in which I don't want to follow-on with related work. Chemistry is a lot of fun to do, but the writting up stinks a lot more than some of the chemicals you get to play with. And trust me when I say that there are some chemicals that are really quite smelly. Afterall, I nearly have two degrees in the subject.
I am incredibly unfussed about most things. This is the biggest problem. If you were to ask me what I would like to do I would not know. If you asked me where I would like to live/work I do not know. For the very simple fact that they are not important. The important thing is that you are happy doing what you are doing, where-ever you are doing it.
What I do need is a tie. Something that means that I some sort of limit on my options, something that means I have actual options. If I knew that I wanted to live in a particular place, that is a starting point. If I knew that I wanted to do a particular job, that would be a starting point.
In an ideal world I would be in a place that has a summer, a proper summer with sun and blue sky and a winter, a proper one where there's snow at Christmas and you can build a snowman and not use all the snow in the garden to make him. Or her. Or it. Or them.... you get the idea.
