I know what you mean when you talk about being behind all of your peers. Essentially, that’s where I am. At 27, working as a waitress and getting bored of it, after being a full time teacher (and hating it!) and writing a blog (without a true niche or audience), I feel like I’m twenty steps behind everyone else around me. And, after looking at a few more posts by Rabbut, I think I might be burned out. Trying to work multiple jobs (4 to be exact — not counting that I rent out my car to people — so 5?)…I realize how much I need a break. The best part is, I just got back from a vacation where I decided I want to move and get out of the city that I grew up in, but I’m not sure that’s gonna make much of a difference. I feel depressed, unmotivated and not sure how not to burn all of the bridges I have created around me.

And, I’ve been hung up on a break-up too. It hurts when all of your friends are now involved with other people connected to your ex. But, it’s good to not be with someone who had such a different perspective on life and wanted to live a 9–5 and spend the rest of his time elsewhere. I’d rather push forward and make it in a life that I actually like and live simply. My dream is to write for a living.

It’s amazing that you’ve found where you can succeed and that you’re able to write about it. You’re living a dream that I can only imagine right now. Thanks for following me and for inspiring me to continue at it. Although, I think I have to cut a few things out of my life for now, so that I have time for what I really want to do.

Although work can be overrated, I think it’s good to have a purpose in some capacity. Keep on keeping on. ;)
