Have you ever felt like you're just getting nowhere in life?

Question

I feel like that right now. I have to wait three years until my boyfriend is finished university before I can do the things that I want to do - e.g. buy a house, get married, have children... I was at university for a while, but decided it just wasn't for me - at least, not yet. I promised my Nana I would live with her, 150 miles away from my Mum and boyfriend, for at least another year to keep her company (I came to go to university, so was supposed to stay three years anyway - so far I've been here a year). I got a job after leaving university, and now I've got a disciplinary meeting to see whether I am going to have my employment terminated or not (I'm on probation in a retail job, so it's not too much of a big deal - and it's only because I work too slow, in their opinion). I'm worried I'll not be able to find a job I'm good at - I'm quite good on computers so an admin job would be perfect, but they ALL seem to require experience! I can't get experience if I can't get a job in the first place... nothing seems to be going my way, whether I try to make it or not!! :P

Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?! I always thought that life would be great once I got to 18 and could do my own thing, and now I'm 19 and I feel no different to when I was 13 lol! It's not fair!! :P

(Sorry if you don't agree with the category I've put this in, but I couldn't think of anywhere better to put it!)

Answer 4

Oh my dear... yes, I've felt that way. I feel that way as we speak.

My path was a bit different than yours. I skipped the country at 18 with great visions of adventure and success.

Too bad life doesn't always turn out as you hoped.

Somewhere out there, there's a door you need to open that will put you back on your way. Keep looking.
