Stop doing shit you don't like, and focus on what you do like. For a long time after I graduated college in 2016, I thought there were things I had to do, i.e., get a high paying job, prepare for law school, etc. I felt I had to do these things, but I didn't really want to. For one, I have zero interest in the corporate world, and law school sounds fucking terrible. Yet, I persisted. Why? Social norms and a desire to please my parents. Doing things I didn't like made me lose all motivation. Quite frankly, it contributed a lot to my being depressed.

Then, over time, I realized that I only have one life. And I can do whatever tf I want to do with it. Really, it's a shame to waste your life doing things you don't want to do. Now I'm going to an amazing graduate school with a full tuition scholarship, and am studying my passion, philosophy, for which my department is ranked third in the world. I also have time to work on my art, and spend my non-philosophy time taking in culture, making music, and writing.

Cut out all the things in your life that are holding you back from living the life you want to live. Search deep within your heart for what you want, truly want. Then go fucking get it.
