Are you happy, well-rounded? (dealing w/ depression/lack of motivation)
buzzzlight: I have always been in a different boat (I'm 32 now).  I always knew precisely what I wanted to do, and knew it would be something nontrivial and...transcendent I suppose is the word.  Life always stops me, whether it's work, money or relationships.  You may have think of the future, how you want it to be, think of things like solar powered bikes you can ride for free forever, or computers writing their own programs, or imaginative ways of meeting other people whose dreams exceed even your own vast expectations, to find your own path.  Maybe those are just things I'm interested in.  But I know that the world as it exists right now at this moment is so profoundly underwhelming that it can't be the basis of my own enlightenment.  Although HN has sure blown my mind this last year.
