Unfortunately, that means I don't really have any advice for you (as usual, it seems). <br /><br />I will say this though: You're going to college, you're making friends, and you’re experiencing life like a normal person your age. As much as I love my daughter, sometimes I would give anything to be a normal chick with no responsibilities and the world at my feet. <br /><br />Be happy, be grateful...be patient.Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318995922395308120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047900042385397529.post-42275479293210708332009-07-02T05:48:43.984-07:002009-07-02T05:48:43.984-07:00As cliched as it sounds, hang in there.

And the longer you live it, the better life gets.

I wasn't entirely prepared for this, though.<br /><br />Let me level with you -- the fact that you feel these ways doesn't make you insecure or abnormal or weird or stupid or whatever; these things make you human, and there's nothing wrong with that. These things, though, are what we need to work through.<br /><br />There are three things you can do at roadblocks -- stop at them, go around them, or go through them. And the only thing that stands between you and the rest of your life are these things.<br /><br />So what do we do?<br /><br />I've subscribed to you and I can't wait to read about the decisions you make.<br /><br />Slainte,<br />DrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047900042385397529.post-40539824032662404502009-07-01T05:41:20.325-07:002009-07-01T05:41:20.325-07:00BB,I love the honesty .It’s not natural for a boy ...BB,I love the honesty .It’s not natural for a boy at your age to worry so much. You are supposed to be having fun. <br />For me,at the age of 20, I tried hard to understand what, exactly, the words, joy, passion, desire meant. They always seemed so beautiful to me in books, but what did they mean in real life? Novels had always seemed more real to me than the life I had to live. <br /><br />I agree with Teresa and jo(e).

You're 21? Don't expect to have all the answers by that age, I'm 29 and I still don't know who I am or where I'm going or what my purpose is in life. Try not to be so tough on yourself, so what if you haven't achieved much yet? What if the things you are destined to achieve are waiting for you in your 30's or 40's or even later? You just haven't got there yet :)<br /><br />And whatever you do, keep writing.Girl Interruptedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657295474281110293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047900042385397529.post-34921034911502231592009-06-29T20:56:58.115-07:002009-06-29T20:56:58.115-07:00Wow.
