Nice to meet you, I'm Dead Inside

in introduce-yourself •  8 years ago  (edited)

Dear reader,

It's been 38 days since I graduated college. Thirty-eight. I received my blah of blah, with a blah in blah and a blah blah blah.

The question is: what have I done with my time?

I have waited. And waited. And waited.

I am currently trapped somewhere I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, as are the wishes of my family. I stay with them out of unconditional love and respect. All I can do to fill my time and my husk of an empty being is by... gaming? Partying? Road tripping? I'll take it.

I bite my nails as I wait for August to come, at which time I have made arrangements to drive over 1200 miles to the state I was born in so that I can establish a life full of independence and pursue my dreams.

A friend introduced me to Steemit, so I figure I'll give it a try. I'm here to regale you with my adventures that I have had and will have post graduation (as well as my gameplay). I'm open to friendly advice and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Jay

Welcome to Steemit @anonymyst
Enjoy all this awesome community has to offer.

I am curious, how did you hear about steemit?
Where were you born? Which state will you be road tripping 1,200 miles to?

Take care!

Thank you! A friend introduced me to Steemit earlier today, asking me to make an account. I was born in Oklahoma, where I will be driving the 1200 miles to. You take care, too.

Very cool. Welcome once again. It is always cool to hear about how people heard about steemit, landed here and ended up making an intro ;-)
I've never been to OK. I have no idea what the state is like! Have a safe trip whenever you do make it out of there. ;-)

Thank you so much

An early welcome to Oklahoma. This is really a great part of the country and most of the people here are very friendly and will be willing to help you out with whatever you need. Welcome!

Thank you so much!

share pictures , i would love to see and experience the trip with u

Now you got me thinking I'll put videos and photos up haha!

Its a good way to share your adventure. Also good way to start getting attention with upvotes and followers.

Sorry to hear you feel dead inside? Not sure if it's total sarcasm or not cause I've never met you, but.. Hope things get more optimistic for you and good luck here on steemit!

Thank you so much! I'll feel better after the move.

You're welcome, and that's good to hear. Even though I don't know you, for some reason I feel compelled to try to say something when people are down or depressed or what not. All the best to you.

I'm not really down or depressed though! I'm just... dead on the inside. I don't really feel much of anything hahaha. the best to you, as well.

Fair point.. Kinda hard to be depressed if you don't even feel much of anything.. But perhaps the reason you are choosing not to feel much of anything is because you don't want to face the "depression". Just a guess. When I read something like "I'm dead on the inside".. That seems depressing to me. I think most if not all people truly want to be happy.. Even those who claim they don't..

Thank you for the well wishes anonymyst.

I'm usually a happy person, I just don't like where I am :)

Understood. I hope you feel alive again inside soon! ._. Take care.

Take care!

Have you ever read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? You sound like youre just like Libeth Salander.

Unfortunately I have not. I may look into it, now, though.

If you read the books, you'll thank me later. :) Good luck!

Hello and welcome to Steemit!
Have inspiration, fun, creativity and a bunch of rewards :)
I wish you an awesome ride!

Best

Welcome. I am very interested in what you graduated with. I am excited to hear more about those adventures, your "gameplay" and experiences. Enjoy your time on steemit @anonymyst and if you ave any questions, dont hesitate to ask.

I got my bachelor of science in psychology with my minor in criminology. Thank you so much, @nicnas, I certainly will ask.

congratulations. Its a long process and fun? at the same time. I have 3 degrees, yet none as good as yours. I know too much about criminology unfortunately. Please dont use me as a test subject :)

Not very fun haha. I completed mine in 3 years so :(
I promise not to use you!

3 years is amazing. For a B.S. nice very big congratz

Thanks! I'm not really as enthused about it. I'm just glad to be done!

you gotta appreciate all the hard work that went into it. The lessons learned. Time & money lost...just kidding. I wish you the best of luck with the job search. What would you like to do with you education as far as career goes...besides making a living on steemit?

Right now, I just want to get a job driving semi trucks. One day I'll get back on the policing track. I've completed a policing internship already and was partway through the application process with a department, but withdrew when I realized I don't want to do that right now. I want to travel and drive. I love driving.

Welcome to Steemit! Enjoy! Follow you.

Thank you!

Welcome to Steemit!!:))Sorry, I need to say you're very beautiful woman!!:))good luck and positive energy for you!!:))

Hello from Claremore Oklahoma and welcome to steem. If you like to write this is the place to be. May you live long and prosper.

Welcome Jay, sounds like you've come to the right place, if you waiting for August this would be the best place to do it? what sorts of games do you play? ever thought of joining an online community? you can meet some interesting like minded people, I've been a member at my community for about 3 years and we play all the top multiplayer games, let me know if you interested and I'll send you the info, would be nice to get a few steemians in to entice more people to join steem. :) good luck on here, wish you lots of success.

I would love information on the community you're talking about! The only MMO I play regularly is Overwatch. I've recently downloaded the new re-haul of Unreal Tournament though and am very excited to dig in.

Hey, yes, the community is called The Chaos Vanguard I'm usually in the rocket league section but I pay some Rust, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo sometimes LoL and then whatever new featured game comes up, they constantly updateing their teamspeak channels and they have a great management structure. when you join just let me know your TS name and we can have a good discussion about steem over a couple games, I like to play Civ 6 while having deep discussions with people, the turn by turn environment is great for this. haha

@anonymyst on Discord as well

we use discord as our backup communication platform but Teamspeak works out better for the different levels of access needed in the management structure so you'd need to install teamspeak to get started, the rest of the instructions on joining are available on the website for The Chaos Vanguard, they do a short "interview" sort of thing to make sure you aren't a troll. :)

Can't wait to see you spread your wings and fly! Welcome to Steemit, you are going to love it here.

Thank you so much, I'm pumped!

Welcome to Steemit! Have a good time while you're here! Definitely should share the trip! That would be a very nice blog! Thank you for joining and Steem on!

I understand what it can mean to have to do something for your family. I am graduating just because my two brothers quit university a while ago and I have 3 exams left! Anyway, welcome on Steemit! I can suggest you to travel to another country before you take any decisions... look up working holiday visas for instance.

I can relate! I was the first in my entire family to graduate. You've only got a little more to go, I believe in you! I have looked into living and working outside the country, and I have already traveled to other continents in the past. For right now, I really think I just want to stay in the US--see where my truck takes me.

Here I have my father who graduated twice while working, and one of those degrees was cum laude, so at least I don't have the pressure to excel as I cannot do better than that. Thank you for the encouragement, and I hope you make it as well!

<3<3<3

Welcome to Steemit and i hope you manage to escape from hell, i'm on my way to escaping mine as well (hopefully).

Welcome!

Thank you!

Nice to meet you Jay.

I just posted my short intro on here too.

Greetings from Bangkok!

Nice to meet you!

Welcome :) It took me over a year after graduating college twice to get into industry I went to school for. That entire year I worked hard on my portfolio in my spare time but it finally paid off. The single best piece of advice I can give is never give up on your dreams and every day do even just one small thing to make it closer to a reality. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to my pursuits! Good luck to you too!

Welcome to MiMOB, I can put you to work as a driver.

Welcome to Steemit @anonymyst! Life has a plan for all of us...& Sometimes we get impatient for the outcomes...But everything we do has a season, purpose, and a time...Maybe life is just teaching you to be more patient...Or, maybe it is slowly building you up so that when the time comes, you are ready to move forward...Ultimately, this is your lesson to learn...So pay close attention to what life is trying to teach you:)

Thank you for your encouraging words!

You're welcome, and take care of yourself:)
