6. Thank you. I'm a bit conflicted about some of my dreams...

I know that time is running short for me to get out of the house and into some form of career. My parents can't and shouldn't be expected to support me for much longer. I have 2 more years left before I finished my IT diploma and hopefully am able to get some kind of more permanent job. I'm not entirely sure that's what I want out of life to tell you the truth but I don't see much in the way of other options. Another part of me dreams of just setting out and travelling the world for a few years. I have saved up enough money to do so, though that money is really earmarked for education. I'm well travelled with my parents but I've never really been by myself anywhere so this would be a huge change, maybe too big of one for all I know. I'd love to go to India, Japan, back to South East Asia and China, and tons of other locals. But that is a form of escapism in it's own right, certainly not as bad as sleeping most of the time but I'm not sure I would be addressing the problems that really ail me either.
