I’m a 25 year old guy and 2012 was transitional for me.  This time last year, I thought, “who do I want to be?”  and I became him.

I got a full-time job, drastically improved my appearance (weight loss/fashion sense), moved to a fun brand new city where I have made friends and dated girls.  I even make my own music and a local label showed interest and picked me up.  I picked up several new hobbies and even began volunteering with an animal shelter.  

Despite all this, I’m so *bored*.  

And not the outward kind of bored, like “nothing to do today”, but inward kind of bored, like “Ok, I became who I wanted to be.  Now what?”  All these changes were fun for a while, and moving to a city of 1.5 million people was amazing, but like anything else it all wore off and became “normal”.  Now I’m just kind of living life, going day-to-day, feeling a little numb.

I don’t know if it’s the weather/time of year, or if it’s the monotonous 9-5 job, or if it’s just me being naturally discontent, but I’m not sure which direction to go in.  It’s like I got all my shit together and now I feel like there aren’t a lot of challenges.

Anybody been there?  And just to be clear, I have made friends and have no trouble making new ones.  I am extremely extroverted.  I’m just saying this to avoid any advice like “join a club”, because meeting people/forming friendships isn’t my problem.

I don't know if I'm bored with my life, or if I'm just annoyed.
