Sorry for the little lag in posting. Between work and homework assignments I have been running myself ragged lately and barely having enough time to eat let alone post. Which is why I would do anything to be able to go on this yoga retreat in Costa Rica available through here / there / everywhere.
A week in Costa Rica with twice daily yoga classes, organic breakfast and dinner, massage and surf lessons?
Sign me up, now!
If only I had the money, and could get away from work I would love to go. I have been working since I was 12, and going to college while working full time since I was 17 with few breaks in between. I am more than appreciative to have a job as I know many people do not and are struggling but sometimes it is very hard to be so young with so much responsibility.

Everyone I know seems to, at least at one point, got to just live and really have fun with little worries and responsibilities. I never got to have any of that, and sometimes I really worry that I am missing out.
Maybe it is a normal thing to feel, but I really am scared that I am just working my life away, and for what? I work 40+ hours a week to pay for a house I am never at, a car that is barely drivable, a phone I don't have anyone to talk to on, etc. and for what? 

I am so scared I will get to the end of my life and realize 
my biggest regret was that I never enjoyed any of it.

I work and work and work, and yet the times I am not working at just as un-enjoyable as being at work. I refuse to believe that this is all there is to life, but what if it really is?  There has to be more than this right?

Anyone have an advice on how to enjoy life more, other than to just suck it up and do the best I can? I know I am the captain of my life, and I try my best at letting nothing stand in my way, but when it feels as though all I do is work to care for myself, yet I am obviously not caring for myself properly or I wouldn't feel this way what am I to do? My life is what I have made it into, yet it feels like I did things as I was supposed to and yet I am still unhappy. I am less than 20 years old and yet I can't even associate with anyone else my age. I don't want to feel this old already, I just want someone to help me feel better.

Sorry for the long rant it just gets so exhausting at times, especially when it feels like I have nobody who understands...
