I think you may be limiting the possible outcomes for your future. :) Just a bit.
Do you want to toss away everything else and pursue a career in music? Is that what you dream about doing?
I'd wait til mid-terms are over...and maybe until the end of school before tossing such a large weight on your shoulders. Just being able to finish that takes more than enough skill.
You're right. I admit: if I ever did try to take up playing the flute again, I still wouldn't ever practice. So maybeeee a career in music isn't exactly the best.
I really am happy with my life right now and everything. It's just... well, sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough.
But I promise if I ever curse cancer or set the world record marathon time, you will be the first to know about it. :)
Come on, give yourself a break. Finish school...enjoy it...and then get depressed because the airhead in your Freshman English class lucked into the Nobel Prize!!!
Honey, do you know how many times I had this conversation with myself when I was your age? A LOT! You're in a transitional phase of your life. Questioning everything about your life and doubting that anything good can come of it are part of the process

You are so good to me, Kristen. You always have been. And, as always, you understand me perfectly.
It feels like SO LONG AGO since we met when I was in high school, doesn't it? Time flies so quickly.
Anyway, thanks for the encouragement as always. :) I think I'm going to start writing again when exams are over... just a little bit, here and there whenever I have time. And, of course, only short things. But I'll send you the first thing I finish.
I miss you. I hope things are going well in Chicago.. and that you haven't frozen to death yet.
I'm only 2 years older than you and I understand all too well. What got me out of it was my boyfriend is moving to Utica, a town an hour and a half away for a job. I decided I was getting sick of having roommates that basically leave all the cleaning in the house to me. So I'm moving out there with him and praying that in 2 hours I'll get the phone call that tells me I'm an assistant manager at the Journeys up there.
What got me started on that path, believe it or not, was going to therapy before I met my boyfriend. Talking to an impartial person can help a lot, and most colleges offer free therapy. I am forever grateful I went.
Hey Margarita. What's up. I feel like I've been struggling with a lot of this too. Like I too like to write, a lot, but I can never get serious about it. It's kind of sad...I start novels and abandon them. I want to be more artistic, but don't spend the time drawing...I don't even run any more, but I really want to, and I want to start up again once it gets warmer. I guess you just have to decide to act instead of just THINKING about it. You do too have passions and you do have a lot to show for yourself...you stuck with flute much longer than I did and you're in freaking MED SCHOOL. The fact that you're thinking about all this shows that you care more than the average mediocre American. Most people just go to school, get a job, go to work, come home, watch tv, and then they're 50 and haven't done anything. Anyway if you ever want to talk I'm on facebook or here or wherever. You're awesome. Katie
Muy buen puesto. Me tropecé con su blog y quería decir que he disfrutado mucho navegando por tu blog. En cualquier caso, voy a ser la suscripción a tu feed, y espero que escribir de nuevo pronto!
