thankyou for the advice. my problem is that i am taking so long to find my passion. i used to love cooking, but after working as a cook it isn't making me happy. my parents have put a lot of money into my education and i feel like **** when i don't want to continue. i just want to start over at the bottom, get a simple job and focus on a hobby. have been writing a little more consistently and playing music. i think it will take a long time before i can make money from music or writing but i am going to do it. i have to or i'll be miserable
