I've been living out of the USA for 13 months out of the past two years. I traveled to 13 countries serving people, making incredible new friends from different cultures, and opening my eyes to new things.

I'm back in my home environment now in Seattle. I graduated high school two years ago today and I can't help but feel depressed. I know that I've accomplished so much... overcame my own immaturity by living away from home and being put in front of challenging and dangerous situations. But I can't see what the purpose of the future is for me.

Work, school, sleep. Repeat. All my new friends and relationships are on the other side of the world. I feel desperately lonely. All the friends and family I have here(home) feel superficial and not real. But I have to keep living at home because I'm broke from traveling and being a missionary. I feel stagnant in this environment and I can't see anything bright.

I know there is a solution and something that I need to do, but I can't grab it or even see it right now.
