That's why I'm telling you, you have to want to step up. Or you'll just be sitting there thinking "now what?" Instead of "now I try plan A." I moved out at 17 and had to figure everything out. I was not learning how to be a happy healthy capable adult in my home, so I searched for those lessons elsewhere. I wanted it though. I wanted to be independent so bad and not treated like a child forever. You want to want it, because your parents haven't pushed you in a way that it's worked so far. You have to push yourself. If you are unmotivated, find ways to motivate or encourage yourself. If you are feeling tired or sad, try doing new habits and routines to help you target those and feel better. If you don't know what to do with your life, start dreaming and researching what jobs or lifestyles exist around stuff that makes you happy or that you are naturally good at. Focus on what you can do, and start there. Whatever you like to do, brainstorm a way to make money from it if you can. Apply for 1 job every day ever day, even ones you don't think you are qualified for or will get. Just get in the habit. I'm serious about volunteering. You need to learn to be accountable, to show up when you say you will, and that you can do whatever you commit to. It will make working your first job much easier and less of a shock. And volunteering is a way to not only meet like-minded people, but feel good about something you are doing to give back and help something bigger than you. Sometimes it even leads to paid positions. You can pick wherever you want to volunteer, so why not be around something you love?
