You're doing just fine James;
It takes courage to share your story at a time when things seem hopeless. Comparing yourself to friends can get on top of you; being an individual can feel awkward and lonely at first.
With practice and support from those who care about you, delving into who you want to be opposed to who you think you ought to be is a process. Most of us on here understand completely where you're at, because we've all struggled with our identity.
You're in your 20's where life should feel like an adventure instead of a trial right? I get that. Maybe for now, seeing some positives in your situation could help to alleviate the pressure. For instance, a shit job still pays the rent. Qualified and careered up friends are still friends at the end of the day. Both a plus in the scheme of things yeah?
I'm a 57 yr old single woman who's had some terrible trauma's to deal with, and am contemplating a complete change in career and lifestyle. It's exciting, but also scary; that's normal for my circumstances.
It's normal for you to feel out of place considering 'your' current situation. You and I couldn't possibly compare our lives; they're as individual as it gets.
The common denominator is how we want to do something with ourselves that feels 'right' for us. I have the gift of hindsight, so sharing my wisdom could be encouraging if you're patient, committed and up for a challenge.
You have an opportunity to 'ask questions' of someone who's been there, done that. I'm all for helping you change your life for the better if you are hun.
So let's get started ok? Think about your questions really carefully. There's a skill to finding the right one; challenging you to dig deep. It's a process that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
I'm here for you; you're not alone.
Thankyou for letting me into your world James. It's an honour to support you starting out on your journey of self discovery.
Warm and kind thoughts;
Sara
