Aw *hugs* I kinda understand. Everyone else thinks they know what you should be doing, but you are the one who actually has to do it, whatever that is. It's hard to justify saying no to any job, even if it's lame. Everyone's full of advice these days. But you will know what's best. Hang in there!

You're back!

Yeah, I think a lot of what life is like at our age is just finding out what your purpose is and what you're good at and how you can turn that into a career.
