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.
