Where are you in your life ? and are you happy?

[IrradiatedFish]

19, 20 in a couple short months. Didn't like first year of University, so I left, now I'm trying out a course at a college; unfortunately I'm not enjoying that either.

Basically my main issue is I've never found that desire or passion for anything. I've always disliked school throughout my life because I've never found anything fulfilling in it. I really wish I could get over this somehow, but I just can't see me finding that special thing I need (whatever it may be) in my immediate (or even semi-immediate) future. I guess I'm going to be experimenting with a whack of different courses until I find something that at least holds my interest.

This past summer I also learned I contracted a blood disorder of which they haven't been able to pinpoint the cause; Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura <- Just google it.

Oh yeah, and I'm still recovering from a total train-wreck of a relationship. I'm not going to whine about it, but seriously, oooh boy was it was bad... (One of those long going things with a close friend, that after nearly a decade of being really awesome friends turned disastrous *sadface*)

But y'know what, life is life, we all have our issues, I'm not gonna complain about it. I have some great friends, 4 awesome pet cats, and supportive parents. I'll sort out all the shitty parts eventually .

EDIT:

I'm 20 years old, female and I'm bisexual. I'm in a relationship with someone whom I love and care about immensely. I live with that special someone in a house belonging to me, and I work everyday and maintain 2 jobs. I buy all my own food, and pay all my own bills. I actively help people around me and my community when I can, and I believe sometimes people need a push in the right direction to get going in their own lives. I have nice things, and people who care about me. I work very hard to maintain my life and the way it's going. But through it all, I'm mostly happy that I'm human, and that I can decide to do all these things that make me happy to begin with. <3

That was actually rather inspiring. Thanks.

17. Finishing up grade 12. No plans for the future, no one really close to me, and losing hope.
Currently living half time with my mother/step-father, and half time with my father. I wish it was full time with the latter, but that is not my decision right now.

Actually, I think you can. Once you're past the age of sixteen, you legally have a choice.

On topic, my life is pretty good. Fifteen turning sixteen, working on getting a girlfriend, I have great friends. The only thing I' unhappy with is my mental state most of the time and my general apathy towards many things. And the fact that migraines are becoming more frequent (plus my friend is worried about my dependence on the medication). I'm planning to change that all, so it's looking good.

Well, I'm 19(about to turn 20 next month) and in college, although I'm taking a break this semester to work full time. I was lucky that my uncle is best friends with one of the people at my job. Granted, my job doesn't let me have any free weekends, but I still get a day off Monday through Friday. I've never been in a relationship ever, but that might change sometime soon. Who knows, I'll just have to see how it goes. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with where I'm at right now. Now, there are things that I would love to fix in my life, but I'll take them on one at a time hopefully. I have friends who stay by me no matter what, a family that supports me immensely, and I'm thankful for all their support. Now, is my life perfect? Far from it, but I'm OK with that.

Admit it. You're Superwoman. There is no other explanation. Is your second job fighting crime by night?

This thread gives me a wave of emotions, from depressed, to happy. i knew peoples lives could suck but never really "knew" if you catch my drift. As for my Life its pretty much "Sweet Sauce"
Im only a few weeks 17, and im doing good in school...
but, im single, i cant drive, i dont have a job, and i cant play an instrument.
And today really made me question my So called friends. (my REAL friends i wont trade for anything) My so called friends, i wonder how i got them, all these wangster/stoners, angry Asians, possibly ADD schizophrenic,Jocks, and one of my closer so called friends are Otakus. I grew out of my otaku phase a long time ago, so hanging out with them feels a little awkward. Till we bust out the cards.
BUT, i have a target for a potential girlfriend, I have my permit, im trying to get a job, and someday ill be getting a squeezebox. so yeah sweet sauce.

I'm 20, and an Automotive Tech-school graduate.

Currently employed in the field I'm trained in, and it's starting to really take off for me.

Hoping to move out to my own place soon.

Unfortunately, I've alienated everyone I've ever known, and I've made no new friends in 3 years. I'm not a fun person to be around, and I can't remember the last time I actually had a good time.

Due to never having experienced it in the slightest, I am opposed to the idea of being in a romantic relationship, and remain an asexual.

So, my existence is fruitful, but very lonely.

Eh, 14, and I'm basically the biggest loser in my school, be it my programming/mapping/modeling skills, my "Fur Faggotry"(Which I don't bring up at all, but leaks from the internet), or the fact that I wear VALVe game clothes to school. Why I'm extremely happy is beyond me, really.

17. Junior year of High School. Planning to major in Law and Political Science for college. But currently, feeling terrible. The stress I'm suffering from is causing insomnia and making me physically sick. It has not been a good few days to be me.

 

[InnerRebellion]

15. Freshman. Severely depressed.

On the borderline of committing suicide.

 

[emeraldrafael]

18, starting college.

All in all, I'm realtively happy. Got a girlfriend, good friends, had some expereinces that sobered me up for life. Seen the girl i thought was the one die in front of me, that was really sobering. But all in all, I'm good. I'm living in the day. The past is down, the Future is a gift, thats why we call the now a present as some country song once said (know it was song by a woman. at least... I'm pretty sure it was). If its going ot happen, it will. If it wont, it wont. Just gotta make the most of what you can while doing a little to be prepared.

Thats how i live, and i'm happy.

15, and at an odd point right now. Was ready and about to drop out yesterday, did some soul searching and decided not to. Beyond that I decidided to try and change myself for the better. I'm gonna try to be less negative, and a little more outgoing. I'm gonna move ahead with my filmaking and actually finish projects I start.

I'm in the best shape I've ever been in, but I'm gonna start working out/getting more exercise. All in all, feeling alright

21, I do university online, so ha. Don't worry it's just a B.Com so degree mills are fair game. I've spent the last week or so revamping my resume and doing cover letters, cause life sucks at home, especially when your parents are retired. I gotta say there's a lack of threats and impending doom in my life. Most people would be cool with that, but now I'm bored of it.

No, it;s currently odd jobs within my present job but they're trying to find a place to slot me. xD

I wish I did fight crime though. Being a hero would rock!

You know, I don't think I know what it is you do.

I see how it is. Trying to protect that secret identity, are we?

Actually, I think you can. Once you're past the age of sixteen, you legally have a choice.

It's not due to legal reasons that I am forced into living with my mother. In fact, before late August, I hadn't lived there for a straight year.

What are the reasons, then? Can't you say?

 

[Marter]

What are the reasons, then? Can't you say?

There are many.

My own pity towards her is one. The guilt that I would have for leaving her, (something I had the past year) is another. The fact that if she ever does change, it would be incredibly hard to re-establish a relationship with her, as my sister won't leave her care is the third.

And of course, she might try to kill herself if I do leave.

 

[Thincrust]

I'm 27 and have nothing to show for my life. Still at live at home cause even with full time customer service job I can't move out. Rent down here is damn expensive so it doesn't bother me as much as it does my friends who are barely struggling with mortgage and marriage so I guess i'm good. Want to go to school for something but it seems useless at the moment since the job market sucks. I hate my car but don't want a $400 payment each month so i'll live. I'm not one that always has to have the best or one up ppl so I make due.

I'm a procrastinator and don't really have any life goals for now. Marriage meh, kids no. I'm easily amused and can tend to be anti social and somedays it's hard to put on my happy face. Maybe one day i'll be on my own but I know i'd still be the same way I am now so why rush lol. I guess I still have time to figure something out, but part of me is scared to jump because of so much failure in the past.

16, almost 17, living with my mom, dad died when I was 13. My mom doesn't drive, so we can't really get anywhere without a ride from someone else. I'm trying to get my licence but I don't have enough money to take the test, and when I do get it, I won't have a car to drive. Desperately trying to find a job, but no one seems to be hiring. School is going good though. I get really good marks, get lots of awards, and have good friends.

If I can just get my licence, I'll be quite content.
