What they said
I don't think I've ever before seen a SYA letter that prompted a 100% unanimous response. There've been a few that came close -- but there were always at least a couple-three outliers, IIRC. That's not to say some contrarian won't post tomorrow; someone might. But isn't it interesting that, so far at least, EVERYone has the same take on this? That just might mean something...
My $0.02: as other posters have already suggested, w/r/t option #3: behaviors can change (though they rarely do so drastically, or without massive effort on the part of multiple players). But character rarely does. Who this guy is now is who he is going to remain -- and if you feel like this now, imagine how it'll feel twelve or twenty-three or forty-six years down the line.
Also: at 25, you've barely started to figure out who you really are yet, or, more important, who you are going to become. Locking yourself into this situation will drastically limit the options. The you-that-you-can-be, the you-that-you-should-be, deserve better than that.
Change can be scary -- but in the long term, not changing, when the situation is so limiting and unsatisfying as yours now is, would be even scarier.
Good luck -- and keep us posted; we'll all keep our fingers crossed for you.
