Where to go? Dont know what to do with my life *possiible tw

Postby alihosi23 » Wed May 06, 2015 2:14 pm

I recently started dating someone that I really like.
We are both complicated persons, we have our high and lows but we care a lot about each other.
So anyway today I was upset about something and I started crying (I cry a lot these days)...So we had a long heart to heart conversation.
Basically he said that despise the fact that he wanted to be with me , that he thinks Im a good person etc...he pointed out that he feels that im too dependent...mainly because I am confused and dont know what to do with my life.
I never knew what to do with my life. I know I like travelling, arts and caring for others. But I dont know what I want. I wanted to be an actress, I sort of dropped it when I moved to the UK because I wasnt feeling confident enough with my english (Im french). I wanted to be a photographer, travelled, took pictures and despite getting good feedback from people, I am afraid to go for ot it because it may not be what I want. The idea of it sound great, but I am afraid that I should do something else.
So I picked up singing again. Singing is difficult for me because Im really hard on myself and I have a lot of stage fright...Anyway I managed to get in to one of the best music school in USA. Which is what I thought I wanted but because it is very expensive, im a scared to spend that much money to discover that its not what I want.

My life is like this: I wake up I feel like I want to be a singer. Or I go to a gig and I feel this is what I want to do.
Then comes the next day and I absolutely dont want to be a singer and Im thinking about how I should have never gave up acting or that I should enroll in a screenwriting course or that I always wanted to learn sign language. I AM WAITING FOR A REVELATION. One day something will happen and I will think: This is it. Hopefully it will happen.
I dont know what is wrong, its so confusing. Because of that I confuse everyone and I am struggling everyday to feel good in my body...I am in a turning point in my life where I am eager to start something and just DO IT. But a career in arts is difficult...Im sometimes feel like Im good but not enough.

I always have this feeling that whatever I do, it doesnt feel right.
Do you feel the same ?

It is like I love singing, photography, cinema, etc..to bits but I cant make a decision. I feel very helpless. Maybe it is because I dont have enough confidence in myself...I always thought I needed to find the right people to push me and believe in me...and this is why I want to go back to school.

First of all congratulations on your acceptance! I'd definitely go for it. Maybe your music school has a joint program with another university, then you can have your cake and eat it too. Like B.A. in "pick your major", and Bachelor of Fine arts/music, etc. It would be more difficult, however you wouldn't be putting all your eggs in one basket. If you were dead set on a singing career, I'd say just do the music school, but based on your concerns and the BPD, I'd play it safe.

P.S. Not too many dependent people move from France to U.K. Move to the U.S. and Mr. independent will be a flash in the past before your first day of classes. Good luck!
