I've been reading and consuming a lot of adventure media lately such as LOTR, games such as Skyrim, manga such as Frieren, etc. A lot of my draw towards it is escapism which I suppose is not good but I want to go on adventures of my own like Frodo, Frieren and Himmel, etc. I want to do some good in this world, make changes for the better, and experience adventure while doing so. I know its unrealistic to expect to save the world but would like to leave my mark on it. I work a thankless job and I am burned out. I additionally want to move out of my town (upstate NY) because of the politics, population, etc. but don't know where to even start looking (other than the south would be too hot for me). I went on a couple of vacations last summer to various places such as the beach, lakes/camping, national parks, etc. and while I had fun and saw a lot of cool things I found that the feeling soon returned. I even considered going back to Uni or joining the military but each has substantial drawbacks, and the state of the military is not too appealing right now. I desire an adventure of my own, to find my purpose, making new friends, etc. I am 28 and know its a very immature way of thinking or dreaming but I feel like my life is going no where fast, still no experience with women, currently have no close friends, etc. I need a reset. Any advice guys? Anyone ever go through this?
>>34099434Wanna visit east Ukraine? I know some reddit pages that will get you there for free.You have the thought process of a girl in her early 20s btw.
>>34099455Maybe I sound like a girl in her early 20s because I did a bad job writing out my thoughts but I can assure you my actual thought process is much different. I don't desire the same "travel" or adventure that women do. What appeals to me the most from all that media is the questing to do good and save the world with friends, danger around every corner, sacrifice for the greater good, etc. which constitutes an adventure I suppose. Perhaps I seek for greater meaning or purpose in life, I am a Christian but haven't been attending church like I should.
>>34099489>because I did a bad job writing out my thoughtsNo. You described them in detail.>to do good and save the world with friends, danger around every corner, sacrifice for the greater goodListen to yourself, fool!You're probably going to end with your phone stollen and stranded in some asian country.
>>34099511Well then, what do you recommend I do?
>>34099518I would first secure a career that will provide me with money and a sense of purpose.This will probably come from college education, or maybe you should join the military and pursue a degree while you are in there. You could also start a business if that's your thing.Listen, idk, only you know what's best for your life. But like I said, I'd first secure a nice job that will give me somewhat freedom and decent money before thinking about traveling the world.
>>34099434let me tell you somethingyou experience the world through your own eyesif you fix up some village in nigeria, you'll only ever reap the benefits when you go visit or live in nigeriayou are only where you are NOWif you make your life good at the location where you are geographically now, then your life will be good.going out and seeking adventure is another form of escapism. I know because I now live about 3k kilometers away from my home country, arguably in a much better country but, I didn't make my life better there.and guess what?I'm not making my life any better here. I'm fapping and cooming and sitting at home and fingering my asshole and putting in a butt plug and sing and that's about it.fuckso my advice to you is to make your life where you are NOW better.inb4 I'm youngno I'm 29 and I had a gf for 5 years and she cheated on me and now I'm alone abroad
>>34099528I already have a degree, albeit one that isn't too flexible. What would you recommend for careers that fulfill your points? What do you do for work?>>34099631You're right, not really sure where to begin making things better though. I would still like to move though as there isn't much in my area for my interests, /out/ and /o/ in particular.
>>34099642>You're right, not really sure where to begin making things better though. I would still like to move though as there isn't much in my area for my interests, /out/ and /o/ in particular.been here since I was a child, I never even knew those boards existed I physically had to go and search for those letters above and click them to see what the hell you're talking aboutyou are as American as they get, cars and outdoorsbut it doesn't matter because the advice is the same:you work on yourself, first. Your school/work second, and your activities/friends/hobbies third.Yourself means, you take a good look at yourself and say, what can I improve about me? am I fat? work out, do I eat like shit? fix your eating, is my hair greasy/not groomed? groom it, do I dress like a basic kid? buy new clothes. do I have any other medical problems? take care of them. Any bills I gotta take care of? do that. is my house dirty? clean it. are my clothes dirty? do laundry.there's so much to improve about you. and most of it involves physically taking care of yourself and your environment. start with those, when a person has their bases in order, they feel better to do the other tiers, such as work/school and activities/friends. but remember my simple 3 tiered list. you come first, then school/work, then friends/activities. You must always prioritize the first ones first. don't skip lunch for school, and don't skip school for friends/a girl.
>>34099659My person is pretty much squared away, what do I do for your higher tiers? Only option for work or school would likely be starting an entirely different career/path in life, of which I haven’t fully considered what else I would even do.
>>34099811well you see my problem is I figured out number 3, activities and hobbies and friends, then neglected number 2 (School) & eventually, when I suffered failure after failure with girls, let go of number 1, myself. which is a huge mistake.what I did, without formatting any of it:meetup.com, a tremendous amount of hiking meetups, dinner with strangers, picnic with strangers, meaningful conversation evenings, board game events, ttrpg events, HEMA (Professional Swordfighting), I joined an acting group, 2 choirs, a bachata dance class, a salsa dance class, school clubs like language club, improvisation club, MTG club, band jam club (play instruments and sing for 3 hours), I met a lot of friends, also girl-friends from all of these things.the main takeaway?nothing matters if you're not taking care of yourself.I'm escaping.I need to look better, to feel better, and to be seen as valuable by others.I derive too much of my personal worth from how others see me. Which is valid, really, it is. But also - U can get value with the knowledge that you're always taking actions to improve yourself, like literally taking the actions. then you FEEL like you're important, like you're worth it. Like you have soemthing going for u. so, yeah. IDK what to tell you about school/work, just have one. Just have one cuz u don't survive by not making money.there's a concept called maslow's hierarchy of needs, pic related. essentially my model is a simplification of this model cuz I don't think maslow's is perfect in any sort of way, It's way too long and convoluted.My method is simple cuz I'm not retarded&I don't need to write every step for myself - I KNOW what needs to get done in every step. Therefore I just need like a "three rules for life" type of model, where I can refer to it.Lets say Its late, like way late.This game is really really good, but I'm extremely tired&the next day I have school. I close it, I go to sleep. I'm more important, & gaming is an activity.

you are very cute OP and have aspirations just like me.but then i realised how shitty people are, in general.you should always do what your heart desires. did you meditate and ponder on what exactly your heart desires? else you are going to come to regret it later.use your mind and your discernment to make wise preparations, to not completely fuck it up. like not even packing a bag and just buying a ticket to the next remote fukn jungle.>I would first secure a career that will provide me with money and a sense of purpose.this is the gayest retarded ZOG bullshit propaganda i have read all day. complete with pics of literal triangle pyramids. LOLYOLO. you live only once. you dont live to slave away for snakes on a stick ($$$) or make some made up bs career shitter madeup titles. you can give yourself purpose everyday, from yourself to yourself. or not. one day with purpose one without. you can just do what thou wilt. you have free will. dont let these corpo fucks tell you what to do.but as i said. discernment and preparation. and actions have consequences. use the internet. research countries, places, people, mentalities, laws ect ect.you need some skills, bodily fitness/health and some startercash, boldness, mental mindset/stability.if you can do that in the next 3-4 months, the stars are good next year, spring to autumn.>>34099631what and why are you singing? that really caught me offguard lel
>>34099932I can make do with the physiological needs and forget about the rest, contrary to belief. My life has been good so much I really do not care of what happens to the other four.

>>34100261What my heart desires such as purpose, fulfillment, companionship, etc. all exist in my mind in a broad sense maybe because I haven't truly experienced them and don't know what they feel like, what to want, or what to expect... Don't know where to start either
