i’m not quite sure how to state this or if i’ll be understood completely but i’m going to give it a shot anyways.
being at the tender age of eighteen, i know i’m going through what many kids my age are going through, a feeling of confusion and sort of a feeling of being lost with no real foreseeable future, at least not one that’s very appealing. i’m at a point in my life where i need to make a decision that will ultimately define my future, and that is go to college and get a job, not go to college and get a job, not get a job and straight up go the unjobbing path or possibly doing something completely different. i guess i’m at the point in my life where i can either start off on a good or a bad foot, like i said, i’m at a defining moment. but life within the confines of civilization seems dull and really, not very rewarding. on the other hand, it’s not very realistic for me to consider a life completely disconnected from civilization because (at least from what i gather) the process of rewilding isn’t a speedy one. in other words, a transition from a civilized life into a more wild existence means that we still have to live parts of our lives within civilization and make the transition gradual.
i know there was another topic on the importance of mentoring. i’d just like to restate how important i feel that is, especially for young people like me and especially because of the times we live in, the fuckedupededness of this culture and the brutal effect it has on us younger people in general. personally, a little guidance and wisdom would definitely be appreciated.
so any insights, knowledge or words of wisdom would really be appreciated. i guess the question is, where do i start and how do i take advantage of this point in my life to where i can devote most of my time to the continuing process of rewilding, making it a reality rather than just a dream?
like i said, at this point anything would be helpful.
Thanks
