Hey Terennnnnnash! Just wanted to say that it sounds like you are in a great position in life to explore whats important for you. A combination of self awareness and honesty about what you feel and need, an idea about how you want things to be, and specific plan about how to achieve this, is what is needed...maybe?=)
