I checked out the about you section and well you seem to have many dreams and the desire to live life to the fullest and to really be engaged positively for the world and not to just be 'passing'. The truth is that when the size of your dreams are big it is easy to get frazzled and pressured, especially if you want to 'retire at 30' it means you don't have much time left! I feel for what you are going through because I also have this 30 years old cut off line like i need to have my life figured out and all these amazing goals to be accomplished. I recently experienced a loss which got me thinking where am I going and what am I doing... Now is very much a 'crisis' because it is about a general pervasive sense of anxiety in all aspects of life. I will only say though that generally people are confused when there gut is out of their goal and when they are too cerebral. In the same boat here, I would say to shock yourself, get out of your head and eliminate the fear. Go bunjee jumping, do volunteer tourism in Africa, get dirty with life. Don't stay on the sidelines wondering..it will only eat away at you.. you won't get answers doing the same things. Just my two cents..trying it for myself...will keep you posted.. really hope to figure stuff out soon and hope you would too!!
