  1. Damage, I created an account here just to reply to this, so I want to thank you for sharing your feelings and thoughts in such a sincere and elegant way. My first impression is that we seem to share a lot in common with each other. I too come from a film background (just finished my uni degree in England) and am currently swimming in similar waters, though perhaps for different reasons in a different ocean of spacetime, as I'm younger and inexperienced with working/adult life. The question you ask is something I think about every single day in one way or another, and considering I have had lots of free time to pursue whatever I wanted in life, I have accepted that it will keep on following me forever. This has made me feel a great deal of a very subtle form of anxiety, one that I think most introspective people must live with every day, and I can only think of a single thing that makes this anxiety go away every time, which is an answer to your problem: 1. Ask a better question. 2. Follow it until a better one comes along. Rinse and repeat. It may not be the biggest "secret formula" answer that we might romanticise about seeking and finding, but it works every single time in any situation. A better question can be anything that you're curious enough to follow, from the depths of "What is the purpose of life and the universe" to the ever present "What am I having for dinner tonight". By asking better questions you will be guided to take steps in a direction you don't even know you're following, the same way that both of us ended up in the place where we are right now, mostly through blindly seeking answers to what seemed like better questions in the past. I hope this helps in any way possible, and I also agree with Candy that meeting new people is the surest way to new adventures. Life is a multiplayer game where you get to write your solo campaign, but a multiplayer game nonetheless. Find some cool NPC's to spend time with and have fun with your journey! --- P.S: On a personal note, my specific burden with finding direction is that I have too many directions (questions) that I'd like to follow, all of them very enticing and challenging in distinct ways, so instead I choose not to choose one, and focus on seeking better questions. Which ironically only leads to more directions and keeps the cycle going. My simple solution: being intentionally or unintentionally forced to choose one question/direction (start a creative project for example) and focus on it for a long time. But you know.. easier said than done
