I need to change my life and I don't know how

Monday, January 22, 2007 3:58 AM

Well that about sums it up. My life needs to change and I don't know how to go about changing it. Generic advice such as "Go to school" is absolutely useless to me. I don't know what I want to go to school for. I have no idea what I should do. Generic encouragement such as "You're so talented and you'll find something" is also useless. Nice, but useless. I might be talented, but I have yet to find something.
Any career I feel drawn to is one of those careers that it's very difficult to break into. Frankly, I don't much like the idea of being a starving artist until I get a break. And even those artists who do get a break can still be starving because it doesn't always pay well and it can be a challenge to keep your head above water once you do break into your chosen field.
The solution to this problem would be to study something practical. The idea of doing so makes my head hurt.
Well, really the idea of going to school at all makes my head hurt.
If it didn't take SO long and cost SO much money, I might feel more up to it. If school in gerneral wasn't such a grind for me, I might feel more up for it. If I could be sure that I would feel more fulfilled, I would definitely be up for it. But, since everything isn't different, I'm kind of stuck in Limbo, wondering what the guay I should do and how I've managed to be creative, smart, in my early twenties, and answering phones for a living
