Hi, my names Shaina. I just happened to come across your blog from another blog called “Doo Deere blogazine.” Your blog was mentioned as one of the rising personality blogs amongst a few others, so I wanted to check it out, and am so glad I did! After skimming through your blog I came across this post, which was really ironic, because I just had a
conversation with my mom on the way home earlier, about that topic. I don’t want to get into too much details, so I’ll try keeping this really short, but basically I’m 19 and am having that time in my life where I feel hopeless and am constantly depressed. I feel as if my life is over and am only 19! I think a lot of it comes from me realizing that life isn’t easy and nothing is handed to you on a silver platter unless your extremely lucky (lol!). The ideas I had, the goals I had, are a lot much harder to achieve than I thought. I can’t find a job and I’ve been trying to get into community college but keep registering late. Also my dad he’s very miserable. When I say miserable, I mean “miserable” to the point where he drinks until he’s drunk, likes to argue a lot and has physically gotten violent and I know this is because his “American Dream” didn’t come true so instead of being content with what he has now he’s taking his anger and misery around others…I just feel my spirit is literally destroyed whenever I’m around him. He’s also crushed my dreams of becoming a fashion designer saying its not realistic, not reality and won’t keep bread on the table. On the other hand I have a very supportive mother who really believes in me and really believes I should pursue a career in fashion but most of the time I feel she’s pushing too hard to the point where I get really defensive and want to tell her to shut the f**k up! Also, I guess I’ve become my own worst enemy. I get critical and am always fearful. I’m scared because I don’t want to fail. I cry a lot physically and emotionally and I’ve thought about suicide but never wanted to carry through plus now I don’t think its a way to solve a problem. Aside from that, reading this post has shed some light and helped me realized that my life is what I make of it. What I’m going through now is a phase, I hope…

This post has really hit home for me. I can relate to it so well. I’m currently in a job that I hate, and day after day I hate waking up to face it. Even though the job can potentially make me lots and lots of money, I can’t stand it. My true passion in life is music! I live and breathe music. And all day at my job I think about music and what I’d rather be doing instead. And I know that I might not make a lot of money with music, but I’d rather make no money doing what I love than make a lot of money doing what I hate. Great post! It has honestly made me consider changing lifestyles. Thanks. -M
