I often ask myself why I don't "want" things like I used to when I was younger (I'm 19 now).
I am not sure that I don't "want", I think I'm being pulled apart by all the things I want as it is so much easier to do so now.
The internet is a golden pot, and I can utilize it to create anything that I want of myself. The problem is that I want everything, and the truth is that I wouldn't be able to do everything, everywhere, all at once (Yes, that was a movie reference 🍿, and yes you should watch it)
My mind keeps traversing through the different paths my decisions could take me to, and whilst this might not be a unique experience that only plagued (risky word, considering the times) my generation, I think it's quite heightened due to the internet and the ocean of possibilities it introduces us to.
I wonder how many people resort to "not wanting" anything as a result of the paradox of choice.
Trying to look at things in a newer light is still a work in progress (😉) for me, but I am more aware now than I was before (baby steps count?)
I spend a lot of time thinking about what I "want" but struggle with getting to a good answer. Do you have any frameworks / other questions you ask yourself that help you build an answer to this question?
