I'll start.

It's 4 AM. I'm home from College right now (passionately studying for Computer Science). I wake up in 6 hours for some pre-christmas celebrations with my family. I'm excited, but I already know I'll be tired. Staying up late is a mistake I enjoy making too much.

I have a general idea of where I'm at. I'm in a happy relationship (that I want to write about, but I'll save the time for those not interested). I love programming, making games, and working with computers, even if a lot of others' projects intimidate me. I have a large strain of existential dread, but I'm able to be happy and get lost in the day-to-day despite.

I have this general gut feeling of needing guidance. I've been meaning to go to a counselor just to sort my mind out, but I doubt I'd find a good one. I never did back when I was searching.

I do have a diary/journal that I keep online, just in case I ever want to share it. Nothing personal or specific, just monologues and poetry mostly.

And fittingly, right now I hope this thread takes off. I want nothing more than to hear others and be heard.
