Hey there. Don't worry *too much* about the feelings of emptiness and uncertainty of where to go next - we all feel the same way (you're not alone!), and I think you will find that things will become clearer as you continue on in your life's path. You may not be able to see too far ahead of you, but things will eventually start to make sense and fall into place. In the meantime, you just have to focus on the task at hand - I know finding a job can be rather frustrating. You are by no means a failure; you are trying your best to find a job, and as long as you are doing that, you are not failing. The summer job market is hard, so don't take it personally that you haven't found anything yet. In any case, whatever job you find (even if it isn't necessarily something that has to do with art therapy or another area you like) will be just another step in your life path and maybe will provide some clarity as to your next steps
