Yasemin Toraman

I am a talentless person who doesn't know what I want from life.

I'm 18 years old. I don't know what to do with my life. Until now, I've spent all my time playing computer games and reading modern fiction. I've never had a thirst for knowledge. I wanted to join the army, but I have very poor eyesight, -8; -8.5, and I'm a scrawny guy, so I just wouldn't pass the medical examination. I'm definitely not a tech person, and I'm unlikely to be a humanities person either, because I'm simply dumb and uneducated. Programming doesn't interest me at all. I'm just a basic consumer, really. Lately, I've started getting interested in history and the history of painting, but I'll definitely lose in competition to people who have been interested in this stuff almost since they were in diapers. I'd like to hear stories from people who have been through something similar. How did you find your path? What do you do now? I'll probably be frying chicken at KFC my whole life, and lately, that prospect has started to bother me.

Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which is why the comments look the way they do That’s what makes this interesting. Curious how this plays out.

At first glance, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s why opinions are all over the place

Without overthinking it, the follow-through is what will decide this That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
