My small rant
(Sigh) I have no idea what I want to with my life. My god, I have to start looking for a college to go to and I haven't the faintest clue as to what to do with my life. I would be happy with just being a random person who worked on sets for Broadway, but I'm not good with tools and paint. I would love to designing characters for video games or movies, yet I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle all the codes and stuff that go into bring the characters to life. (Sigh) I wish I could find something I'm good at. I would love to catalog stuff though. For museums and stuff, just being able to touch and look at artifacts from the past is sort of a thrill to me, but I'm not good at memorizing dates and names. (Sigh) God I hate finding a career, sorry if I'm being whiny, but I'm feeling a little useless and stupid, like always, so yeah there’s my little rant/ problem. If anyone has any advice please tell me. Ok, bye.

Don't feel bad. I'm nineteen years old, I've been out of high school for a year, and just within the last few months I'm finally figuring out what I want to do. And I felt like hell knowing that my classmates all knew what they wanted to do when they were maybe 15, and I was 18 and still didn't have a clue. But then I found out one of my friends, my BROTHER'S friend as well which means she's 21, just finished her generals in college and is taking a year off because, at 21, she STILL has no clue what she wants.
As for not being good at anything, I hear you LOUD. AND. CLEAR. Trust me, I'm one of the most talentless people I know! But if you get down on yourself, you cut off your room for growth. If something intrigues you, don't shy away from it because you don't know it--LEARN it! You have all kinds of opportunities. So what if you have to take learning into your own hands, or take a couple years off before college? (I won't be starting STILL for another year!) Trust me, you'll figure it out as you go along.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in practically the same situation as you, so I guess that means you're certainly not alone in your uncertainty. But I keep getting told to just go for it no matter how much I might doubt myself. Maybe you should, too. :)
