I'm sooooo feeling you. I tried to comment on this post the other day but blogger wouldn't let me in. I will be twenty ten in october and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. AND I'm a single mom. I'm sure I'll figure it out one day, but I'm also just as sure that day won't come anytime soon, LOL! You hang in there, with prayer and time it will come *smile*

OoOoOoooo Sweetheart, I have been there & done that! It was the worse when I turned 30. I still get that feeling from time to time, they're not so bad now, though. It's time to get into what's going to make you happy - map out a plan then GO FOR IT!! you'll be so glad you did.
Smooches!

I'm so sorry your feeling kinda down. I'm the same way. I'm in my thirties and I suddenly feel like I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm realizing that I didn't follow my heart and now I'm stuck in a job that doesn't satisfy me. I agree with everyone here, go for the acting. If it's what you feel you should do, then you should do it

Also, I'm sorry I didn't make it to SJSU on friday . That stupid meeting went way over and then I had to cover for someone on the Reference desk till 5. I so bummed.

You are not the only one! I just try to make concrete steps toward what I want to do- at least you know what that is...

Maybe these little hiccups are a way to make us check in with ourselves... rather than plugging along for years and years and then realizing that you went wrong.

Go for your dream...

I have to agree that it's not necessarily an age thing-although I fall in the 20 somethings AND I feel the same way about what am I doing, where am I going, etc. I hope the feelings pass soon.

I think I'm having mine early. What the hell! An aquaintaince of mine called this the problem of "feeding the beast" versus "feeding the soul". It is hard to find things that feed the soul that also pay the rent, but they are out there somewhere. Don't give up.

Cheers,

I've got no answers for you, sweetie; all I can do is empathize. Perhaps it has something to do with the age. They don't call this middle age for nothing. I'm 38 and from where I stand I can see all the things that have passed me by as well as old age coming up fast. We can hold on, girl!

Honey,

Get into the acting. It's never too old to invest in your chosen profession. Sure the thirties and fourties are the hardest for most actresses, but if you keep learning more about your craft and genuinely invest in your talent, one day it will pay off in some way. It may not be the way that you're expecting, but you must pursue it if it's what you truly want to do.

Not to get all self-helpy on you, but grab Deepak Chopra's book The ten steps to sucess or something like that. Any of his books will give you a few ideas how to clear your mind of this negativity and refocus your energy on your dreams.

You know you're doing something right when you reach at least one person on your blog, and you've reached me, so keep on keepin' on and know that this hard part will pass.

best,
