I have no dream

I sit here in this new country not knowing what it is I should do. I came here thinking, learn the language go to school get started on my future.
I gave up on learning the language. It's like I have no drive to accomplish anything. I don't even know what I want to do with my life. Everyone tells me to think about what I want to do for the rest of my life. Find something to go to school for or a get job. I have no motivation.
I sit here with no dreams or goals. Is this wrong? Most people my age I think would have a bunch of shit they want to do. I just don't care. I think there may be something wrong me. The thing is I just can't sit here and play video games all day. I need to wake up at some point and find something but I feel like I will fail it anyway. I have failed everything else in life.
If you read this far you rock. Thank you.

Thanks, I'm working on it. I just really need to think about what I like to do and go for something along those lines. I need to buckle down.

Yeah I read that far...
I got into a similar funk yesterday... I had a whole list of shit to accomplish. I did a few of them and then just LOST any drive I had. I couldn't even do the dishes. I just sat on my couch and sucked. I'm at work right now; I've been here for an hour and accomplished nothing.
I have dreams but I don't feel willing to fight for them right now. I never really have fought for anything. I've only taken what comes easily. And yesterday I discovered that I have no real reason to believe I will be able to change.
I mean I can get psyched up about turning everything around, but I run out of gas before I get any momentum worked up. I kept a good attitude through 80% of my weekend but I feel no closer to getting anything I really want in life. My job is disappointing me this year, I'm not really being a great employee.
Sorry didn't mean to jack your thread with my own issues I just felt that they resonated with your post.

Yeah I've recently stopped medicating myself with drugs and eating and video games and now I'm realizing how tough life is without that medication. I used to be able to drown my sorrows like that but I won't let myself anymore. So I'm just left with my bad feelings. My fear and loneliness, untempered.
I wish I had some advice for you... all I know for sure is that the only way out of a no-motivation funk is to accomplish things anyway, even though it's the last thing you want to do. Easy to say, I know 
Good luck man, you are not alone.

You're in Amsterdam? Damn dude I'd definitely be getting out there tryin to live it up in Europe do you know how much I envy you right now? There is no right or wrong in life, there's simply your path - no paths are identical, so don't worry about not living up to others expectations - just live up to your own, if you can do that you'll be happy. But if all you're doing is just playing videogames in amster d, you're one freerollin SOB!

yeah dude better you're doing something new and not stagnating. I want to move to a new country but each day rolls past and here I am getting more and more comfortable, so I'm envious of you bro. Shit is always hard when you change scenes but give it a few months or a year and you won't even look back.
Holland is an awesome country with awesome people.

Some people set goals and achieve them. Others go with the flow and construct their future based on their journeys. Others do a mix. Find out what is right for you. Do what you have fun doing.
-------------------- Life is one big road with lots of signs, So when you're ridin' through the ruts, Don't you complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy Don't bury your thoughts, Put your vision to reality, yeah!

Netherlands.
I'm working on it. I'm trying to find what I love to do the most that is actually constructive and work from there. I'm thinking about giving the language another go.
