Lately I feel like I wont amount to anything, that nothing I do or work towards will be good enough and that I half ass things, although I do put a lot of effort into my schoolwork, maybe im just not putting enough. I let my insecurities get the best of me, although I try to be confident. Im far from beautiful. My parents dont think that I can be an occupational therapist, they dont believe in me, which makes it worse. I've finally found my niche. I know that I want to help people become more independent and help them to achieve their goals. Its meant for me to help people and make a difference. I just wish I didnt feel like its not possible, even though I know it is, i just feel like my efforts are for naught.
My pol sci teacher said that our generation is not as smart as our parents generation and that we wont make as much money as our parents did. I believe him, and this scares me. Are we really a generation of under-achievers? Why is it that almost everyone I know including myself doesnt have their shit together after what, 3-4 years of graduating? Its like we are a generation of cocktail waitresses and sales associates, and we are always trying to get somewhere, but never really getting there. Maybe we werent properly prepared, or maybe there are just too many options. Whatever's happening needs to change. It feels like ive been in school forever and I havent really done anything.
I havent done anything great with my life yet, at least nothing that I consider worth while. I need to have some meaning.Achievment. Im so broke its not even funny, Im really stupid with money sometimes.
There are a lot of things i need to work on in my life, but at least I dont have to worry about guys, because Im pretty happy now with mine. It just feels right now.
People are who they become through what they do with their lives.
I just need to do a better job at doing something so I can become someone great.
