I've been in a dead end relationship for five years and the only reason I haven't ended it is that it suits my dead end life. Sounds to me like you're making good decisions and not rushing things that don't need to be rushed.

OMG thank you SO MUCH! It's totally a matter of perspective isn't it?? Wow, its crazy how dark and deep your mind can talk yourself into something. It's like I'm comparing my life to movie stars, millionaires, motivational speakers selling ten books, and I'm sitting here still living with my dad (Which technically deep down in my heart I really want to because he's not doing well health wise and I want to be here for him no matter what). The fact that I'm just itching to have my adult freedom and my own beautiful apartment is what is driving me crazy right now - which boils down to the materialistic. Yeah my job sucks but at the same time I call it a god-send because last year I didn't even have a job, and since it's on commission, sometimes I make really good money. I've just been calling myself a failure because of the actual title of my job, compared to a doctor or a teacher or a CEO or someone with a college degree.
I might get an associates degree in science if I feel like paying money for school again, but I want to start my own business more than that. So there's always room for growth. Anyway, your comment really helped me, thank you!
