I didn't mean to come across as rude, more just frustrated, I definitely have no problem with you giving advice

I really think that people should take a long, hard look at their reasons for entering a grad program, because it is psychologically difficult and very strenuous economically. Just looking for a change of pace would not be a wise reason for beginning a grad program, I think - that's not to say that restlessness is your only motivation, but I have known people who go to grad school simply because they have nothing else to do, and it has not turned out well for them.
I'm restless because I want and need to go to grad school, I feel, and just can't figure out how to manage it, not because I have nothing better to do.
