I like to think that I had direction but it was a farce and an illusion. I can't handle the repetitative nature of education in school and the repetition of too much of the same without change in subject for too long, I'm extremely bad at maths or the natural sciences and this was bad for grades and made me repeat years as well in the log term... I had direction for a few years but it appears that I life live life stages in a 2 - 3 year cycles and can't keep something up for much longer beyond that. My attention span perhaps and also the fact that I was bullied in my formative years.
I might seem "good" at things expected of me but it won't last long and therefore I'm a waste of space in societies' view. Not that I care but that way I am makes it so that I can't live fufilled even if I tried.
Most things I know today I studied in my free time and made me much happier this way than the rigid conformism I expierenced in school.
The school environment isn't exactly as conducive to learning as people assert that it is. Much of the knowledge that we actually need to function in this world is learnt through experiences outside of the school environment anyway.
Society views everything outside of the status quo as "bad" because it's a threat to the "order" that the world has; just because people disagree with something you say or do doen't mean they're right, nor does it mean that you are wrong. As far as I'm concerned, you're doing the best that you can with the issues that you have, and if no-one has told you this before, it's more than enough.
id say for me its lack of transgressions that does it, i treated people and everything else with way more respect that it deserved.
The human condition can be both a gift or a curse, depending on both who you ask, and at what point in time you ask them. Those of us that have experienced hardship rarely end up challenging those who mistreat us, usually because the feelings we had to endure during our own hardship is something we don't want to wish upon others, no matter how much we might want to, or how much we believe they dserve it.
I've certainly done or not done things I regret but, none of them are the main reason I want to CTB. I want to go because I can't envisage creating a life for myself in which I will be happy. I suspect it will only be a worsening picture.
Did you at any point ever imagine things turning out well?
