I'm not saying that I want to end my life, I'm just saying that it feels like the life I am living is not mine. I want something completely different, yet I cannot find a way out of what seems like a one way track of what is expected of me. It seems I'll graduate college, find a normal average girl, get married, find a 9-5 job, have kids, get old, and die. I hate it. I hate the idea of being so... normal... so average. I just want to scream right now it's eating me up so much. I could swear, that this is not my life. That there is so much more that I want to do, so much more that I can do!
I don't even know how to explain this feeling, just that everything seems... wrong. I don't even really know what my question is... maybe it's how do I start living a life that feels... right?

i understand how you feel
maybe you should do something exciting
like skydiving
or learn something new
try traveling
there are lots af places completely different from where you're living and maybe you'll want to live there when you're older

I recommend if you really feel this way, you need to seek professional help immediately because what you have described is life and if you are feeling this way you might do something that could make your life a lot worse than it is now. Depression begins like this but quickly advances and will put you into a dark hole which could alter good choices. You could possibly hurt yourself or someone else before you know it and once this happens you have crossed a line that you can't return from. Seek God first and foremost and then seek professional help.

It feels like we are gagged and handcuffed. We are stuck in this routine and can't escape. It's like a prison that we are searching for the exit, but can't find it.
Yet, when I was very young I found the exit, and I'm moving toward it but it's such a slow process. It takes so long. I wish I could have the motivation to move faster. I want to show other people the exit, but they won't believe me. Besides, only one person can leave through that door. If another person found the way, I would be trapped forever.

I know the feeling and I'm much older than you are. If it's any consolation, I'd have to believe that there are millions of others who are also stuck in a rut. In short, the majority of people are "average". Just make the most of what you've got and keep pluggin' along. You never know what might turn up down the road.

this question is kinda hard to answer...but trust me..i know EXACTLY how you feel......i know how im going to turn out..ill probably become a teacher, stay in the same town, have kids, and settle for a guy thats less than what i should really have...i dont want to be normal either, i want to be remembered...and its really hard to do exactly that.....but..what helps me..is i try to make the little things matter..like..i try to always have something on my mind, and something to look forward to...cuz if i dont..ill start thinking about my too normal future...but..i always tell myself..no matter what happens...ill make some sort of difference..whether big or small...i want to feel like my life mattered..and that i didnt waste it, and that it was somewhat worth something...
but like i said...you have to know what u want ( vaguely atleast) and reach for it...

I had felt the same way for the first 25 years of my life! exactly!!!
it was not until i stopped living for me,and started living for God! life has never been so full! I need nothing but his unfailing love and guidance! you sound like you may be a "marked man" i had to humble myself, get on my knees, and ask him EVERY MORNING AND NIGHT for help with my struggles, and forgiveness for my shortcomings. for me I only feel really connected when i make myself get on my knees and talk to him like he is the dad that i have always needed! HE IS REACHING DOWN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACH UP! FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME! I really feel that i know where you may be in this sort life here on earth I'LL SAY A PRAYER FOR YA! SCOTT

it isn't the physique or the human innovations that could comprehend God. Believing in God would not provide one eternal existence. yet while perception variations to understanding, then the question is with no end in sight settled. God's actuality isn't incorrect.

I don't get it. You said you're "going" to do this and it seems wrong.
So... don't do it.
What's the problem?
