blah blah blah career woes

[tju_tju_tju_tju]

I'm sure you're all very sick of me talking about oh woe is me, I had to drop out of college and now I owe tons of money, whatever I shall do, I suck at most things and I hate my job that I make barely any money at, boo hoo hoo -- hell, I'm sick of THINKING about it, to be honest. I'm sick of making excuses for myself... even if it's not really "

I feel so similar, omg. -_- I'm sorry you're feeling bad. And for the record, you can always complain in your LJ. It's YOUR LiveJOURNAL. It's what it's for. <3 And I'll always listen and do whatever I can to help.

Why must life be so irritating? I'm sorry you're going through something similar.

I'm mostly just tired of hearing myself complain, haha. I wish I could be more optimistic, but it's difficult. Ah, well. And thank you. <3

Such a shitty way to feel... I've been there many times. Life is certainly about ups and downs, it's something we can't avoid. And, as a Gen Y (are you as well?), I know all too well about growing up with that 'You can do ANYTHING' mentality!

In Australia, thankfully we don't have the oppressive university fees. I owe money, but it's not as huge and limiting as other countries. Very lucky.

I really struggled with that paralysis brought on by the fear of failure. I have always wanted to be a writer, and for years I just *couldn't* do it. The way it affected my self-esteem was incredible. Then just one day, I took a leap; I put aside all the shit that was bogging me down. I was probably at my lowest point mentally, as well. And, it's corny and vague and probably not of any assistance at all, but really easy - but really liberating.

I hope I don't sound lecture-y! I really relate to how you are feeling :)

I'm not sure if I'm Gen Y, but I was born in 1990, so maybe.

I'm jealous. I mean, I did go to a private art school, but I wish I had been more aware of the financial consequences. They never tell you about that stuff in high school.

That's awesome! That gives me a little hope, haha.

The Decemberists, mais oui?

[tju_tju_tju_tju]

Heh, thanks. XD

Hopefully we will. *hugs back*

*hugs* My career is basically nonexistent at this point and I have no income, so I get you. And it's so damn hard to get out there into the Real Worldtm unless you're the kid of so and so. It's frustrating as hell.

[tju_tju_tju_tju]

It really is frustrating. It's like, how can anyone possibly start anything on their own these days?
