So, I'm really frustrated with where my life is right now. Four years invested in a relationship that didn't work out. Working a dayjob that is making me miserable.

I've bitched and bitched about it, now it's time to do something, I just don't have any idea what.

i understand what you're saying. i've been feeling the same way for a while now.

but some how it all seems to be coming together a little better for me, maybe because it was just time? i don't feel like i put any extra effort in; if anything, i put in less.

I feel you, baby. I've felt the same way for a long time as well - I think it might be a mid-twenties crisis thing (though I'm not sure if you're in your mid-twenties).

Taking decisive action is a much slower process than I thought it would be, and there are days when I feel like I'm not moving at all.

But I think I am.

Miserable day jobs are sometimes necessary to achieve the greater good.

At least that's what I tell myself. ;)

I think I just needed to write, felt a whole lot better after getting back to work on Infornography. I've really been away from it too long.

Oh, I'm 23 going on 50 so I guess this could be considered a mid-twenties crisis. Some of it is definitely frustration over not being where I wanted to be by now. My goal, when I started this writing journey, was to have two bestsellers by age 25. Because of how long it takes for a book to get in stores once it sells to a publisher, that is no longer possible. But that's ok, I just need to make a new goal.

Not that you know me...

Hang in there.
I think it always feels like this.

Any day job is unrewarding. I am in graduate school and take things that hold the interest of half of America long enough for a Discovery Channel special and turn them into the most pedantic, boring amd picayunish discussions. Are the "real" academics more accurate and better researched? Slightly, but don't get any grandiose notions of truth == we're also more political and are never allowed to say important people are wrong. This is frustrating, especially when -- believe it or not -- there are people who were appointed by Hitler still drifting around in these departments. (He's 97 now. Perhaps soon he will die, but people have been hopin since the 1970s.)

Relationships...
Four years. How long would one have to go before considering marriage? Don't consider marriage. I have to go to a wedding today and I jusr want to tell them to run.

Just write. Imagine a better world. I feel for you.

We should start a support group entitled

"Invested 4-5 years, that's gone...now what?"

I can relate and I wish we could both figure
out what is next...
