Any advices for someone that has yet to know what he wants to pursue in life?
Problem/Goal: Nearing graduation, am in my early 20s, and while I learned many stuff in uni, I feel like I am meant to do something much more, but still yet to fathom what.
Context: I'm an only child, I have seen tumultuous problems arise in our family ever since when I was young so the pressure was already set more than the standard. They didn't pressured me with my grades because they trust me, however this has led me to multiple occasions of overthinking because of a possible "f*ck up" in the near future. I switched universities twice because I couldn't really know what I wanted to pursue, this was during the end of COVID lockdowns. And now as I'm nearing the end, it has led me to another point in time of contemplation of 'what now?' I don't compare myself as well because I am blessed with what I have in our simple and humble abode, pero napapaisip lang talaga ako ng pangangamba sa pwedeng mangyari saakin, na hindi lang ako hanggang dito. I would say that I am a wandering person that has yet to know what can I excel from. I am my family's only hope, and they both have ailments na, hindi ko rin gaanong malapitan sila for advices kasi hindi kami gaanong ka-intimate/sweet sa family, but I know they have that tough love for me, so I tend to self-heal and fix myself with what I can research online. Madalas rin ipinapamukha saakin na 'pag nawala na sila, wala na ako, at paano na ako. I am grateful for the things that I have and hindi ako sumusumbat pero minsan it has taken atoll on me that I would have a heated sentiment for them pero pinapalipas ko na rin. And just recently, we visited a columbarium to buy slots for them in the future.. when time comes.. and the most ironic thing was, ako ang pinapili ng pwesto nila, I amassed that strength to not shed a tear during that day, but I don't know the experience of having a friend/brother/ka-cosa that I can put my shoulder on whenever things get tough dahil I only have a handful of acquaintances in my small circle.
Previous Attempts: doing Lalamove/Angkas after my uni shift, barely gets me by. Also became an online content moderator pero tinigil ko after a few months dahil hindi ko nasikmura ang mga nakita ko.
