Anyway, I was thinking...I'm not exactly "living". I'm more like existing. I guess it comes from the way I dealt with my mother's death and growing up fast, when I was younger. I spent my teen years just going to school and coming home and not really doing the whole "social" thing, that most kids my age were doing. Senior year came around, and work was added to the mix. One of the reasons why I left home, after high school, was so that I could be on my own and live my own life, without being bothered with my family. In other words, I wanted to be free to live my own life, on my terms...And, I am.
I guess, what I'm wondering is...Now that I'm an adult, how do I become someone who enjoys life, instead of just existing in it?

WOW! LOL. Why do I feel as if I wrote this post. I Guess Probably because I might have at one point. My Life is no where near what I want it to be. I am still looking for the answers Because I Too feel as if I'm just existing.
First of all, you coulda fooled me... Now, granted, I've never met you before, but the way you write about yourself and your experiences, you sound like a cool ass dude. And, if you think you're boring, surround yourself with some other cool ass people (notice I said "other"), so they'll bring out the best in you!!
The thing is not to become someone, but discover who you are. Discover what you like, where you are going and when you will get there. Get a plan and get some enthusiasm.
Try new things to develop a personality that is outstanding. not especially loud, but outstanding. In the process, remember that you are YOU and if you want to become somebody, YOU will have to change yourself!
You got time.
