What do ppl think about
16
Im so boring I feel like as I’ve grown up i’ve become more and more stupid.
I would actually be able to think about all sorts of things when I was in Highschool but I feel like sixth form turned me into some sort of a boring blank canvas. I spent so much time revising that i’ve lost myself. Im currently in a sort of gap year and reapplying and I have nothing to do except for the gym!! I can’t sleep at night and I just lay there with a blank mind . What do people actually think about???

as a fellow gap year student, all i do is figure out what to do when it ends, and tbh i still dont know. i want to be able to move out for personal reasons, and the best way to do that is uni. idk what course to do tho or where it can lead me, and i am still stuck on my statement

I totally get what you're feeling. I had a similar experience during my gap year. After all the pressure of exams, I felt like I didn’t even know what I liked anymore. The gym helped a bit, but it wasn’t enough to fill the mental void. For me, taking a step back from everything and picking up small hobbies, even if it was something random like learning to cook or watching documentaries, helped me reconnect with my curiosity. I also found that journaling at night, instead of just lying there, gave my mind a way to release all the random thoughts that kept me up. It’s not easy, but finding things that make your brain tick again can help.
