It’s the “what to study/ which job” thing that’s just one big blur.
I would really like to get a bachelors degree, but I’m not sure what I want to study or what I’m capable of.
I’d like a job that doesn’t make my back hurt, so something behind a desk, but what?
I know where I’d like to end up, but I don’t know how to get there, it’s so frustrating.

It’s so lovely to see people who are focussed on one thing and know exactly what they want and what they want to do to get there, I’d like to be one of those people! 4 weeks ago

MichelleAnthropology

I’ve been saying I want to become an anthropologist for the last few years. I want to get my Masters in anthropology. I just haven’t been sure because the dream seemed impossible. But I have met a wonderful man, to whom I am now engaged, who supports me in this endeavor and helps me realize it is possible. I want to become an anthropologist. But, I still need to figure out what path I want to take in getting there and what work I want to do with my future degree. 1 month ago


NotJustLivingImAliveMy career

Of course I want to get married and have kids one day but what about a career. When I think of career, i think of something I might be doing for the rest of my life, possibly? But I have nothing at all like that, that i would like to do yet. Everyone says think of what would make you happy, for a career? Lol i still have no idea yet but at least I have time to figure it out. 2 months ago

boocupidBe Happy

You know what? I’m going to say that I’ve done this. Since forever I’ve always thought that deciding what I want to do has to be career based but I actually can’t be bothered with that now. What do I want to do? I just want to live a full life, see the world and be happy. 2 months ago

So I have just finished applying for what could be my dream job! Fingers crossed! 2 months ago


Robin 13So, I've decided.

1. Have a career and enough money: writing (or as Plan B: art management)
Having enough money to live my dreams. But no need for more. Money don’t make one rich. Have my dream house, wherever I decide to call home.

2. Surround myself with Love: have a family and a circle of loving friends
Build a home, feel safe next to someone. Keep my friends close. Not sure about having my own children, but will definitely adopt one.

3. Have Adventures: travel, emerge in art, experiment with life, have time for my hobbies, be myself – WILD & FREE, be flexible and embrace the unknown, always try new things, be open.

4. Improve myself: leave behind my past, have a healthy life-style, take care of myself, dream big and fight for my dreams, make the most of what life offers me, always keep walking and never stop learning.

5. Make a difference: be always there for the people that I love; care about the world, try to make it a better place, be always here and help when I can. 2 months ago


candysroomDecide what the hell I should do to cope with my dad

A small background story: I have never had a close relation to my father, not even when he and my mother were married. One of the reasons is that I always felt more or less declared as an idiot by him. It can be very subtile things and sometimes when I’ve tried to explain this to partners or friends, they don’t really understand what I mean. It tends to sound like a ”I am hating my parents teen age drama”, but to me it is much more severe.

Well… recently there have been a couple of incidents that I would like to hear others opinions on.

First, ”the boyfriend incident”.

I happened talk with someone close to our family about relationships and break ups and so on. The person said something like ”oh, so sad that you have been abandoned by all your boyfriends”
I was very surprised, since most of the break ups I been going through have been either fairly mutual descicions or entirely my own.

I asked about that and the person said ”but your father and his wife told me that! They said you have been so sad over that.”

I was like ”uh, say what?”

1. That’s not true.
2. I have never talked to my father, neither his wife about my relationships other than briefly. I have most definatly never given any details about my separations.
3. Even if it was true, why would they discuss that with person X?

Ok, so I took a deep breath and tried to find a reasonable explanation. Could they possibly have misinterpreted what I’ve told them to that extence? Since I don’t really care about what people think about who’s breaking up with who, I decided to just let it go. I don’t take any pride in being the one who’s leaving, like some people do. But I found it very strange.

Now the ”candysroom is a very strange girl” incident

I have a new relationship since a couple of months. Sadly enough my father and his wife know my boyfriends family. I didn’t knew them before I met my boyfriend.

My boyfriends sister met my father and wife the other day and happened to talk about me. Yes, I think you guessed it right where this is going. The wife started to talk about how boyfriends sis ”must give me a chance, even if I seemed very strange”. ”And please, please, even if you do find candysroom very strange and introvert, don’t say anything negative about her to your brother so he’ll get a negative wiew on her”.

Well, luckily the sister didn’t seem to find me that strange. She even informed my boyfriend about it, since she found my step mothers behaviour so crazy and he passed it on to me.

Ok, so I guess I don’t really know what I should think about it. I don’t see any objective reasons to find me that strange. Well, I am rather introvert. But still, I have a job that demands a lot of contact with people. I handle it fine, I am even a supervisor. I have had a couple of long term relationships, and even if I lately have been dwelling about my lack of friends here on 43things, I have had some good friends over the years. I guess I can’t be that odd.

So what is wrong here? Am I overreacting when I get very mad? I am pending between thinking that these people have a very inaccurate picture of me and try to ”help” in a very misguided way or that they are being flat out manipulative and try to get people to look at me as a very strange person for what reasons I don’t know. And how should I be handling this? 2 months ago
