You guys ever have lots of feelings? I've been single for a while and I'm about to graduate with a master's in education. I've got this assignment where I'm supposed to lay out my expectations for my first job...but now I have no real expectations besides to be able to exist.
I'm not sure what kind of papers I'm looking for, so I'll post a few. Share your story or keep it constrained to a pic.

You wasted the best years of your life with your nose in a book just to get a piece of paper that will allow you to keep this bullshit college education wheel turning for all of time. Sure going into your adult life single actually helped you to form who you were as a person, but it will never be able to replace the feeling of being the genuinely happy individual you would have been had you spent those years having fun. Sorry man, but the rest of your existence will be nothing but regret. I feel sorry for you. You will leave a stable life for a turbulent roller-coaster of hormone-driven, immature emotional bullshit which will rip the soul out of you and leave you broke, emotionally drained, and soulless. Since you never had a high school girlfriend you've never experienced that but, trust me, at your age it will be 100 times worse. See, when you're a teenager and you fuck up your life (assuming there's no pregnancy involved) it doesn't take long to recover and things get forgotten. When you're 29 and you fuck up your life, it's a stain which mar you forfucking-ever.When you're a teen you'll want to kill yourself. At your age you probably will. So go suck on 30 mg of addies, turn on progressive trance music, and do some fucking online shopping.l

is this pasta or are you just projecting really really hard?
>>6838030
the latter

>>6838024
I'm 23. Is there hope?
>>6838024
this is incorrect, the rest of your existance is what you make it.
you can choose to be happy
you can choose to be sad.
It seems difficult
It seems you're just sad and have no choice but to continue in regret.
What's done is done, and regret is a waste of time and energy.
You'll be fine with or without a significant other.
God Bless, and keep smiling, nobody's going anywhere.

Props to you anon, God Bless

Academia is the shit. If you're good at reading/writing/teaching and don't need much money to be happy, it can be extremely satisfying living like that.
And if OP is cool being single, more power to him.
>>6837978
I do feel, yeah. General existential this-or-that. Transitioning after graduation to the workforce, so a lot of the thoughts that have been occupying my mind revolve around new ways to be happy, to feel a sense of progress, etc.
I know I can sit in a cubicle to get money, but I'm keeping my eyes out for something a little better.
Congrats on the MA (or MS, I'm not sure where education falls.)

Couldn't have said it better myself, thank you anon.
I'm in my mid-twenties, have a challenging, well paid and interesting job. I have a degree and a post graduate certification in my field. I've been married for a year. I have a great circle of 8-10 friends, and a very supportive church community. I live in one of the wealthiest and safest places on earth. In the next year I'll be teaching a post graduate program at prestigious technical university.
sometimes I wish I worked a simple job 8am-4pm, that left me with more energy and brain power for myself, my wife and my heart. my faith is stagnating because of how busy I let myself get and how tired work makes me.

Technically it's a M.Ed. in Student Affairs. I just say education because to most people it doesn't really matter. In my internship, I help students study abroad. Losing my expectations actually opens up quite a few doors to me. I've applied for a job in Kyrgyzstan because why not? pic related

Why so negative?

Uncertainty is the fuel of life OP! I can't tell you what to do, and you're farther along in life than I am, but you are in a much better place than most.
You're still young. You still have time. I know things might seem to be running out of time, but that isn't the case at all! If you make yourself happy, women will come.
Listen to some happy music and have a pape :)

Bruh you're fucking 23? The best years of your life are ahead of you, Anon.
Don't waste precious time with self pity.
Conquer.
It might be hard right now but everything is a lot harder when you're on your own. Try to find someone to share memories and be there for you. If not then keep yourself busy and just continue on working, distracting yourself so the looming feeling of loneliness won't be bothering you too much
>>6838035
23 as well. There are times where you'll feel like you've wasted everything and times where you'll regret nothing.
Love your life. Not because you're used to living or used to loving. No do it because someday you might understand who you are and what you want and when that moment comes then you will do everything in your power to achieve your goal. Until then - carry on, listen to your heart and don't forget the people around you.

That would be a fun pape.
Waiting for my BF to come over. I feel so pathetic I feel like my whole day revolves around texting him and maybe my job. I'm boring as fuck.

Manic depression.
Finally starting to get a grip on it.
Still hard to look forwards more than a couple days.
Hey guys, 21 here got my ASS. In culinary and now that I'm working and stuff I could have totally skipped out on school. And I've been depressed as hell it's been a shitty year so far but I guess things are gonna look up sometime right?
