Life passing me by

    I am 23 and I feel like my life are passing me by.

    After graduating I got a job where I had to move away to a new city but things havent gone as well as I have planned. My job requires me to work long hours ([I dont get overtime either] weekends the odd time as well) despite this I still try and do something when I get back to the house by playing football (6 a side stuff) and heading to the gym or going for a swim.

    Despite living here for 6 months I still havent been on a night out. Yeah I have gone to the pub with a few lads from work but other then that nothing. I live with one other lad (I also work with) and even though he is a very nice guy I have decided to move out as I have come do dislike him for small little things get on my nervous and living with one other person is hard going. I also hate the fact of trying to look for a new place to live were everyone already knows each other really well. But I guess it has to be done.

    So at the moment my life is work - football/gym/swim - bed - repeat and my weekends I do nothing at all, I try and head down to where I went to college too see my mates from there but its just to far to travel each weekend.

    This also leads to the fact that there is no women in my life either which is a result of the above. Which doesnt help matters.

    I have yet to take any of my holidays (as I am replacing someone in work and I want to learn as much as possible off him before he leaves) and I dont know what to do with my holidays as I dont want to to take them off and just sit a home. None of my mates want to go on holidays either well in the times I want to go.

    I also want to go snowboarding but none of my mates wants to go but my sisters do but I do feel a bit uneasy going with them. As I dont think I will have as much craic.

    I tell myself that life is too short (as I see my parents friends dying) and I need to start doing things but I still dont.

    I have been in this situation before. Best thing is to move into a house with lots of people - take a chance - and you will be surprised most should be cool and its unreal how many friends you can make fast from it.

    Living with 1 other can be terrible!!

    It doesnt take much to change things.... believe me!!
