Im nineteen and i have everything going for me. Great grades and heading for med school, starting position on our college softball team, and a huge loving, supporting family. and yet i feel as if i have no life. Ive never been in love and i so desperatly want to. I just want to feel somthing... anything, even if it only lasts a moment. I need to do somthing, somthing has to change. Im tired of gong through the motions, i want to live. I dont really expect any answers... i just needed to tell someone. but i guess my question is... what can i do to just, feel alive?

For start you could look up a previous post by "punkrockprincess' asking the question "Right now I just hate myself and want to die..?" and get to know her and help her find a reason to live. You need some change to something exciting and although she is not the type of love you were referring to, I'm sure she needs love! If you have heard of the American philosophy of "enlightened self interest" (ESI) this is a chance to put it into practice and get out of your self and your boring routine. To help another is just as much in your interest as helping yourself.That is the message of ESI.
I hope you do answer her and empathize with her, good mental health, peace and Love!

Pack up and take off across your country. Just get in a beater and beat it. Go everywhere in your country and take all kinds of jobs. Dishwasher, packer, factory job, bus driver, what ever as long as you don't spend more than three months in one Provence or state. Then move on. You want to live? Then go live with and in your own country and in the end if that isn't enough ...go to Europe.

Go on a holiday (if you can afford it), mayeb you'll find someone there. Even if you don't it'll still be fun. Maybe write a poem or something because you sound very poetic.

Give yourself a break and do something unusual like jungle hiking. Tell yourself you deserve rewards.
And hey!, I think you can be a good writer!

Be patient, don't rush things, your current feeling is the sparkle of change which you and only you will create sooner.
be more social. i wish you an extra luck besides the one you already has.
