Lately I've felt like my life is meaningless. Go to school, get a good career, be "happy". But I know those things won't make me happy. Everything seems so complicated and happiness seems like such an unobtainable commodity that I've started to replace ambition and joy with emptiness.
Growing up sucks

Started out as an Astrophysics major in college making great grades then I found out how horrible academia was and that it would be my ultimate career path. Changed my major to fucking accounting, met a girl who ended up being fake as fuck and showed her true colors a year down the line.
I feel like the only happiness I will obtain happens after my working years end but I know I'll be too old to do as much. I've always wanted to be the work to live type and have great hobbies after the 9-5 ends but the longer I'm in school the more i realize how hard that is to achieve without some form of connections.

My dad joined the Airforce. And then he stayed in. He worked his up through Supply and became our state's youngest Masterseargent. He ended up retiring at 55 making $103k a year. He gets to keep $60,000k per year for the rest of his life. He is set. He will never be elderly and broke and homeless. I told him I felt like a failure for not being able to live that kind of life, for thinking 5 years at a job was plenty and probably too much. He told me to stop comparing my life to anyone else's. Everybody is miserable over something. Nobody is doing "better" - so just chase what you want. You wanna do comedy? Don't miss another open mic. You wanna be the world's leading expert on ants? Do it. You wanna work with elephants? Learn and do. Shut the fuck up about your feelings because you only feel bad when you're lying to yourself. Fuck expectations and stability. Just go and stop giving a shit about being what other people want or you'll never be anything at all.

>you only feel bad when you're lying to yourself
I don't suppose you could elaborate on this for me. I feel shit but I'm pretty certain I'm being quite honest with myself

I have the Same major RN. Im at a community college for a year to save money and everyday is meaningless and a joke. I'm sick of seeing the same people everyday and being in the same place I was five years ago. My dream of becoming a scientist becomes less and less meaningful everyday I get no satisfaction from the work I'm doing. Whyed u decide to switch majors?

Also Pape to keep this alive
Do you just naturally stop enjoying things as you grow older? I've lost interest in many things that I once held dearly and it's really disheartening. What's the point? Sometimes I feel that I'm just forcing them upon myself, trying to experience something of the past. Meds just blunt your feelings, they don't make you happy. The pressure of school sure doesn't help too...
