I'm writing this to register my current mindset so I have something I can look back to in a few years. I'm at a point in my life right now where nobody expected me to be. I started studying Marketing at a University of Applied Sciences. I'm also doing pretty fine in my salesjob I'm currently working in my holidays. People often estimate me 4-5 years older than I'm truly are, but not of my looks but on the way I act. They tell me I'm more mature than others at my age and I'm grateful for that. Yet I'm more confused than I ever was. I don't know who I am. I want to escape the 9-5 rat race so badly and can't even imagen a life like this, yet I joined a University of Applied Sciences. I really enjoy what I learn there, yet I want to be out there expierience things by myself. I write execution plans and follow them halfway through, just to stop and follow another one. I want to be "free" by the age of 25, yet I'm thinking about dropping everything and flying far-far-FAR away, learning surfing, skydiving and scuba diving. I was never into partying due to living fitness, yet I'm currently burning to go out and get wasted.(This desire just occured since this summer). I could probably have a say in the fitness industry when I join the dark side or take Vitamin S (if you know what I mean), yet I don't want to limit myself and my future by going down this path. I want to learn snowboarding and go extrem-downhill riding and freestyling, yet I'm too lazy and annoyed to buy snowboard gear and get things going, let alone the fact that I wouldn't even have time for that at this point in my life. I want to plan everything out and have an idea what's coming in the near future, yet I want freedom and no limitations of tomorrow because I have planned something out. I started a youtube channel 10 months ago and uploaded some edited footage to motivate people (sports). I'm going to reach 500.000 views this month, yet the last video I uploaded was nearly 6 months ago and I didn't earn a cent. I want to produce another video because I enjoy the feeling of helping others, yet I can't get myself started. I started to learn spanish a week ago and I'm doing pretty fine regarding my daily goals. I have no idea why I can stick to this but not to other goals. I wrote a 18 page long fitness program regarding fitness and never published it. I read a lot of books who are beyond measurable worth (like TFM, Think&GrowRich, Howtowinfriends&influencePPl, etc.) and admire every sentence and the meaning and truth behind it. Yet I'm not able to completely use and apply the learned findings. I'm feeling like Im in a 2x2m cell bouncing from one wall to another in rage and confusion. How should I know what I want in life when I dont even know myself yet? And yes, this was purposely written without paragraphs because this is a little insight on how my thoughts are structured. In a whole weird confusing bunch of ideas, hopes and regrets.

If someone is reading this you'll probably think I'm a complete failure and that's fine. When I'm reading this I'm also doubting myself. Yet a little thing inside me knows that I won't fail. Why I feel like this, is an unanswered question. The future will tell.
Edit: I know there will be plenty of grammer mistakes but this will only be an indicator of how far I've hopefully improved my english in the following years.
