100% yes. I feel so much internal turmoil and my mind is just never satisfied because I keep ignoring my signal. My signal comes like a light, but societal expectations are pulling me away and covering my eyes to direct me to study for the next test, or to worry about what grade I got.
I despise it.
I feel so stuck and torn right in the middle. I feel like I'm reaching for my signal but the traditional path is pulling me back.
Can't seem to go in and fully listen to my signal, and can't seem to escape from the tight grasp of all the noise.
I only have around 6 months left of this tether, but it's killing me.
We often ignore/procrastinate following a potential signal because of routine/busyness. Reminds me of the exploit vs explore dilemma. It would be worth it to spend at least 1 hour a week exploring these signals.
Interest is definitely the way to find what you want to do long-term in life. The problem comes when you're so overstimulated from doomscrolling, video games, etc. that whatever you try can't stand a chance... so people simply never find what truly interests them, because it can't hold on to their already overstimulated minds.

It’s mad how many of my childhood interests link to my current passions. Interests are truly something else!
Ok, I'm in love...
Brilliant text! I’ve just started to listen to my 15 years old self interest and it gives me back my energy I thought I’ve lost
Hope it helped Lorraine! Thanks for reading
Oh,that was good.
Thank you Celia!
the true work ilies in distinguishing signal from noise, then showing up.
I like this!
Thank you Craig! :)

Great post!
Overstimulation is numbing us to death!
