Getting to know me?

I'm in a very strange mood.

I've declared to the world that I'm a troubled child and that I'm facing this so-called "quarter life crisis". Deeply disturbed, I'm impatiently trying to shake off this uncomfortable feeling - sending me in this chase of self-discovery, googling words like "quarter life crisis advice" and "self-discovery".

The result was a series of blogs and advices which I'm on the path of testing its effectivity. Taking the advice from one of the articles, I'm writing down my thoughts so that I can reflect upon them later - a way to get to know myself better. Strange enough, I'm starting to feel that this advice may at least calm me down; I do hope that it will solve my problem or at least polish my writing skills.

In another article which I stumbled upon, it said that we are conditioned to fight discomfort and that our mind actually resist change. Perhaps this is why i unconsciously avoid coming back to Kuching because coming back home is very calming and it shelters my mind from all the disturbances of my daily routine. Honestly, 'm still not sure what to classify this feeling that I'm experiencing, could it be clarity?

I think I should just continue what I'm doing for awhile and see where it leads me. Someone important told me to "follow my heart", the problem is I have two conflicting voices in my heart/mind, I'm not sure which is which. How do you distinguish the voice from your heart between the voice in your head?
