It seems I have spent lots of time lately thinking about my life and wondering what is missing. It's like I'm never happy with where I'm at, I don't feel that I'm accomplishing as much as I should be...I feel like I'm just wasting time, letting days go by, and somehow I have lost my motivation, I've lost what makes me happy. Will I ever find contentment? Do you feel truly happy with where you're at in your life? Is this just the result of too much deep thought? I'd like some insight on this. How do you really enjoy every day and live life to the fullest? How do you accomplish your goals and reach your dreams without overworking yourself-- while still enjoying time with your friends and family and getting enough sleep? I have the hardest time prioritizing "living life to the fullest" when there is the need to be "responsible" at the same time. Can I have both? I hate seeing adults who, in the midst of working hard to make a life for themselves, have forgotten to enjoy life and keep exploring, and in a way, I think it's made me afraid to take that leap into adulthood and responsibility. I don't want to lose my zest for life and love in the process.
So this is what I'm struggling with. Do you have any advice?

I don't think I have any answers to help you out with, since I've been wondering some of the same things. However, the situation is a bit different for me. I'm afraid to return from my time here in Chile in part for the very reasons you cited. How to live life to the fullest when I will need to go back to my responsiblities and a culture of hyper-productivity? How will my new attitude fit into this culture, and how to preserve this feeling of being so alive?
