just feeling lost

1

I’m really feeling lost in my life at the moment, I’m 19 still living with my parents, I’m working a job I absolutely hate that’s ruining my body more than it was(I’m 19 and have arthritis in my shoulders,elbows and knees. Aswell as shin splints) I have never had a goal to work towards, I don’t know what I want to do with my life and here I am wasting money on college to get a degree in design even though I’m not aure I want to be a designer. Sure I enjoy art but I don’t feel I’m good enough to make a job out of it. I just feel as though I’m hopelessy lost

What do you enjoy doing? What makes you happy? Spend some time to think about it. Start a list and add to it every time you think of something. Are there things you can do with the degree that doesn't involve just being a designer?

I can imagine how it feels to be in your position at the moment. This coming from a stranger, probably won't have much meaning, but think of it this way. You could continue to work and strive for something that doesn't make you happy and brings you pain. Or you could explore. Although this may not be the best idea, what I would suggest is to take a break. Finish what you've started and end there for a bit. Take a break, travel, get a part time job to earn some money to relax. You're only 19. As cliche as it sounds, you have your whole life ahead of you, don't spend time trying to pursue all this unless you think you could last the rest of your life doing this. Best of luck!
