Question: I'm longing for something i can't have!.!.!.Help!?
I've always been adventurous since i was a little kid!. But now that I'm older I'm really desiring an adventure!.!.!.Not one where your in absolutely no danger and there are fences between you and danger!. I want something scary where running or fighting might be involved!. I want a fairy tale adventure more than anything right now, but i can't have it because the world has become too safe! And money holds me back!. How can i sate this desire which is seeping into my daily life, making me discontent and bitter!? This is a terrible feeling, to want something and be unable to have it, with astronomical odds against you! I feel like i have been born into the wrong time period!. I feel like a soldier or a warrior, but I'm unable to fight and protect!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The world has become too safe!? Have you read any newspaper lately!? There are still some very unsafe places in the world - but these can help you achieve your dream!. You want adventure, you want scary, and you have money problems!? Try volunteering for overseas work - places where natural disasters have taken their toll offer an exciting environment but one where you are not in danger of being shot!. And your actions can help devastated areas get back on their feet!. !.The floods in Iowa give you a good starting point, if you don't want to leave the country!. If you are free to travel, there are centers in Africa that are crying out for help!. An educated person such as yourself would be a godsend!. Or you can work with inner city missions in your own town!.
And if you feel like a soldier or a warrior - you can always join the army and actually become a soldier or a warrior!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Too many people, especially youths, in today's world have got caught up in this "instant gratification" thing!. You have only begun to live your life!. You want action and adventure!? Prepare yourself for a career in the military and volunteer to go to Iran or some of those other places where we have troops stationed!. Get a higher education and become an FBI or CIA agent!. No matter what you decide on, there is no changing your age and you can't just have excitement and adventure because you want it because you are too young!. Patience!. Forget the instant gratification thing and learn how to get what you want through pursuing an education and talking to grown-ups that you are in contact with and see what they suggest!. Believe it or not, grown-ups are not normally stupid and have a wealth of information they can pass along, if you will only listen!.
Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
