you know its a truly fantastic hozier song when the lyrics are devastating but people assume its a love song for some Godforsaken reason

[the-world-i-have-known]

swan upon leda sounds like such an angelic and gentle song, but let me tell you it fills me with such pure, unfettered, barely containable rage and it needs to be more popular

[the-world-i-have-known]

nothing. Just this song

the cinematography of ready set love is so beautiful and the social commentary is really interesting as well im only on episode three so far but this is a good funny show

[the-world-i-have-known]

Ready, Set, Love was such a wild ride. It started as this quirky show about a reality tv show to get married with the few men available in the world, and it ended up as a "f*ck the rich and the unfair government". Loved every second of it.

Option 1: Do a 2-year masters abroad in a subject related to what I studied/ what I do for work, and will allow me to travel sooner. I would most likely not accumulate much debt by doing this as the tuition is really low and I would have enough to cover living expenses between personal savings and getting a part-time job. But I am not super passionate about the subject and I don't know if I can see myself working in this field for my entire career.

Option 2: Stay in my hometown and study linguistics at a local university (as much as I would like to study elsewhere, this university has one of the most interesting linguistics program). This would be more in line with my current interests and passions, but feels like a huge step backwards because I already have a bachelors. It would also mean staying in my hometown for 3-ish more years when all I've been saying for the past year how much I want to travel and live abroad. This option would also cost more, but I would have the benefit of having a decent job options during my studies, but I still might end up with a bit of debt, but not a crazy amount.

I feel like this would be an easier decision to make if I could see into possible futures, but unfortunately I cannot.

Do I do the thing that will feel uncomfortable at first but might be beneficial in the long run (but not guaranteed)

or

do I do the thing that I've been telling everyone I would do, and would provide short term enjoyment, but ultimately not make me much happier in the long run?

Why is it easier to read scientific articles in my target language than it is to read fiction??

seriously debating going back to school and getting a degree 16 year old me would have expected.

It probably would have even been the track I would have been on had it not been for a random identity crisis I had at 17....

Currently having a quarter life crisis. I graduated from my bachelors degree almost 2 years ago and I immediately moved to Germany for a year with a working holiday. But since I couldn't secure a job to stay longer, I had to move back to my hometown. I was lucky to line up a good job for when I got back.

I've now been in that job for 10 months and I feel like I am having an identity crisis. I thought this job would be interesting and a challenge, but i'm finding myself so bored and unsatisfied. I like my coworkers, but I truly don't understand how they get enjoyment out of the work or how they can see themselves in this career long term.

Not being great at making strong friendships, a fucking pandemic in the middle of my degree, finishing my degree early, and moving away for a year really stunted my ability to build community for post-grad life. Now I just feel bored and lonely.

Which brings me to my crisis: I feel directionless, like I don't know what i'm fucking doing, or what i'm striving for. I have a good job, so it feels like a big risk leave it to trying doing something that might not even be the right move. I feel like I got the wrong bachelors degree, so do i go back to school and get a different one? what if i'm wrong? do I just get a masters related to my work and actual degree? Will I hate myself for doing it? Will I hate myself for feeling immobilized by the fear of judgement and failure? Will I hate myself for taking a risk that feels like it could fuck up my finances or near future? I just don't know what I want to do, i just don't want to do what I am doing right now. I remember back when I was 16 that I didn't want to end up in a career path that I hate, and I hate that i'm letting that version of myself down.
