find out what the hell i want to do with my life (read all 2 entries…)

Untitled  — 1 month ago

I don’t know who I am and what’s inside of me (most of the time) and therefore I don’t know what to do in & wih my life. I have been sitting in front of my computer all day long, watching my fav series. I should have been studying but will have to do so at night. Whenever I do this instead if doing my duties, I feel like I’m a little more inside myself than usually, and then I know that what I’m doing is not what inspires me, lifts me up or gives my life meaning. Inside me is something that loves beauty and expression and excitement, and I don’t have the faintest idea what I am supposed to do with this. I used to think I wanted to be a singer or an actress, but singing has turned out to be just a hobby for me, and when I took an acting class, I failed completely – I just can’t do it, it seems. I also lack the motivation to “be” or play someone else. I think what fascinates me about the actors in really good movies and TV shows is how these people feel so free and wild to me… that is something I definitely miss in my own life, as well. Maybe I’ve just been looking in the wrong places, maybe I shouldn’t concern myself with what I should do with my life jobwise (I know I should), maybe the solution lies in some other area of my life.. who knows? I have a sense that taking more risks and worrying less will change much for me, so I am working on that. But there is something else inside of me that wants to be acknowledged and worked with and expressed. How? Where to start? What to do? I have no idea but appreciate any inspiration that hopefully will come my way.

Well, if it helps

you definately knew what your not..and beleive it or not…that a great start in finding out exactly who you are and what you want from life!
Sometimes, things “find us” when we are not trying so hard..
My son has changed his major three times in three years….what’d you think, mom?
Dev..you need to like what you do, but balance that with whats hot in the job market 5 years from now, it won’t serve you well, if your taking acting and end up bagging groceries for the rest of your life..so balance..take some of what you love,and blend it with a field that you can make some money in…in your spare time and your days off, presue the hell out of what you love, take acting classes, do small theatre, teach a class…make your life a blending of the most exciting things this world has to offer!
