I have also been going back and forth and back and forth and even applying other places...what I really want to do just doesn't seem possible right now. And even though there are a few things...I know that one day God will show me the way I need to go to do what I want. I may just not be right at this moment. Keep living and pursue your dreams in any way you can girl! You can do it and I would love to read your novel. Just like one day I will become a psychologist and a trainer :) Hang in there!

I wish I could give you advice but I am in a very similar situation. I hate my job and know it is not my career but have no real sense of what I want to do. I have some ideas but taking that leap is a risk I don't know if I am willing to take. Likely I would end up quitting my job and going back to school which would be a HUGE DEAL. <br /><br />Know that I am here encouraging you and we can support each other through our journeys.

I want to have a life other than being a mom and a wife. Im happy with my life right now with my kids and supportive husband, I cant trade them with anything in this world, but there is always in me yearning for self fulfillment, something that I can call my own and something that I really enjoy doing it .I don't like to settle on one place.I want to do more and I feel like yuour post speaks to me...to reach for your dreams and to trust yourself.Liz, you are a good writer, I enjoy reading your post, I may not comment everytime, but I always read your post, they are entertaing and you are a good story teller. Go for your dreams and I cant wait one day to read your first novel.

I lost my mom (and best friend) last year to cancer and I've got an autoimmune disease myself along with another disorder. I'm 27, engaged, and a LOT like you. <br /><br />I grew up in a pretty privileged area in the DC suburbs. Here, everyone graduates college, gets their master's degree, buys a house, and is married by 26. It's NUTS! And its hard not to compare myself some days. <br /><br />I'm a makeup artist. A poli sci student. An entrepreneur (for five years I owned a petsitting company). Beauty blogger. Bride-to-be. Aspiring domestic goddess. <br /><br />My advice: DREAM BIG! And you are! Growing up I wanted to do SO much- go into law, music, become an MUA, a dog walker, etc. And I'm doing all of that until I get through school and go on to law school. I want to have a few careers in my lifetime and refuse to be lumped in the category society has created where people feel like they have to have just one career. <br /><br />Do it all. You're inspirational and if you want kids one day, they'll be SO proud of you and happy you did all this for yourself. You seem lovely. Hopefully one day, you'll post some of your writing :) You can check out local community colleges that might offer audit writing classes or community center writing classes in your area. Craigslist and Meetup are also places to find writing groups and classes. Best of luck to everything you do! <br /><br />xoxo, <br />Kate <br /><br />Twitter: @DarlingDivaMUA <br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/darlingdivamakeup Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741113946811181164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115047871633728794.post-7219064640510994222013-08-20T22:34:40.281-04:002013-08-20T22:34:40.281-04:00I'm pretty sure you just explained my current ...I'm pretty sure you just explained my current situation perfectly, so I feel you.

I feel like that too though, but I'm 27.<br /><br />I also feel like a joke, because I've literally changed my minds 128265 times and changed careers several times. I know there's people out there, who probably don't and can't take me seriously. They probably think my fitness thing is just my idea for the "moment" :-(Whitney @ EHFARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574672293112274871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115047871633728794.post-5584708391037364362013-08-20T21:00:18.497-04:002013-08-20T21:00:18.497-04:00Following your dreams is scary, but you are brave....Following your dreams is scary, but you are brave.

You will never regret it, but you would certainly regret if you didn't follow them. I too, started my blog because of my love of writing: I work as a literacy specialist in education. I hope to turn my blog into a book someday. =) Way to get a much earlier start than I did!<br />triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929205365777864208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115047871633728794.post-34681271170656823132013-08-20T17:24:27.821-04:002013-08-20T17:24:27.821-04:00You can totally do it!

I have participated in various talent shows, big acting/singing competitions, sang in church my whole life, sang the national anthem at the court house, recorded some songs.... etc etc etc... but I still work my 8-5 job and haven't became a star! I would love to be a full time recording artist. But then sometimes I sit back and think would I really be able to handle that life style? It would be a lot to take on. Being away from my family, always busy 24/7, the traveling etc... Maybe one day it will happen though!
