You are God of your own life. You can throw it away, or you can see this realization as a moment of pure liberty-- you can literally do anything you want to.
But how do I know what to place into my empty box?
So far I know this:
1) I am 21, want to go back to school, and I know I'm smart enough to do it. Being a computer scientist or programmer could mean a whole lot, but is that the answer to my unhappiness?
2) I love to write, read, and play piano. But it's like a drug. Good in the moment, but eventually tomorrow I am wallowing in my own self pity and hatred.
3) I want to make people happy and be happy. But what does that mean?
Perhaps I am still suffering from the mormon programming where the member is victimized and always blamed for the purpose of indoctrination.
Perhaps I have an anger problem?
Perhaps I just have to be patient?
Or is there is eureka moment where we suddenly realize how we find meaning and happiness in this thing we call the "human experience"?

Hahaha. I see. I think medical marijuana is the extent to my experimentation, but thank you for the suggestion. hahaha
