Every day of my life is a spiralling pit of boredom.

Well, I say that. I’m being melodramatic.

I’m a musician, and have been for nearly half my life. One more year and it will be half my life. But I can’t find any musicians I click and bond with. I find a contact or two, we start to talk, plans are made… And then they fall through and nothing happens.

I’m an ex-student. I’ve just finished college. Trying to find a job (Unsurprisingly) is hell in the current economic market. What’s worse, I know I’m more than a viable applicant for work places, I’m just not accepted because of the sheer bulk of other people who are as well.

I have a mostly okay home life. I love my brother, sister and mother. I used to hate my father, and now feel nothing for him. He isn’t worth the effort.

I don’t feel human. I don’t feel like an outsider looking in, but like an insider who found the party, got a drink, chatted witha few people but then slowly drifted to the edge of the room, looking at the heaving mass in the middle and not wanting to be part of it. There are a few other people along the wall with me, watching. But we are too far away to reach each other, and the noise the others make is so loud.

And I’m sorry this is such a rant! I just needed somewhere to let off a little steam. Thanks for reading, and anything said will be read and replied too (hopefully).

I would suggest jump starting your life by doing something completely unpredictable. Something you’ve always wanted to do. Try a bunch of new things, even things you know you may not like. Be courageous and be ready to look foolish. This may sound silly but it helps you to get out there and experience life instead of sitting on the sidelines. Books a fellow right-brainer enjoyed: How to Be an Explorer of the World by Keri Smith, The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical by Shane Claiborne (Religiously-Christianity-themed)
