SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit
TITLE: Reddit, I need some guidance. I'm essentially "floating through space" in terms of where I'm taking my life. Can you give me some advice, some inspirational quotes, some movies to watch, anything I can use to get my head straight?
POST: Here's a bit of backstory:

I was born in 1994, my parents splitting up shortly after, and my mother proceeding to file a restraining order in December of 1999 against my father. In around 2001, my mother met a man named Alex, and they were married shortly after. I am an introvert, so naturally I didn't want to let Alex in, and close to 6 years went by this way. We didn't exactly see eye to eye. I have no memories whatsoever of anything special we did together, nothing that would motivate me into any sort of life pursuit. Somewhere in this space of time, my name was changed to Alex's last name, which was fair, but I didn't understand at the time. My step-siblings began having children, and Alex became softer. I snapped out of the funk I had been all my life and decided to do something more. I began reading a lot, playing music, and exercising. Nothing really spoke to me except the music, and I've been playing guitar since. In Winter 2010, my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and has since been pushing for me to go to university (closure, I assume) as well as sending me to a boarding school across the country. I really feel like I'm being pushed into something I am incapable of, or just have no interest in, and will fail due to lack of motivation, throwing me further off course. My request of you is essentially to be my father. I need a little help, and Reddit has always delivered (from what I've seen). I mean, hundreds of thousands of people? If 30 people see and respond to my post, I could easily find something I'm interested in, is worth pursuing, and **is profitable
TL;DR: 
No father figure, unsure of life, no motivation (not unhappy, weirdly) need something to get interested in and pursue.
