Dear Pip,

Thank you for your response I will make sure to check out the book you have recommended.

I understand what you have said when you say get to know yourself but I believe I am spending too much time in my own head. See I believe it is all well and good doing that but I feel like I am spending that much time in my head that I can’t actually think of anything positive and I am slowly getting consumed by negative depressive thoughts.

One of my main issues is that I am still in the same position I was in 3 years ago and not much has changed since then and I seem to have remained stagnant and not progressed any further in my life than when I was 18. I still live with my parents who I don’t have the best of relationships with as we clash often and I find it difficult to explain to them how I feel as they can’t understand why I don’t have the drive to work like “everyone else”. When in reality it isn’t that I don’t want to work its actually that I want to work but work in the career I am meant to be working in.

My dream right now is to move Canada which is happening in December. But I am on a 2 year visa and like I said before my fear is that when the 2 years are up I end up back in this position.

I know I cannot live my life in my home country of England and I know I must leave but I worry that without a degree and a good amount of funds behind me that I will end up back here and be stuck in this position for the rest of my life. I would love to have a degree at one point but I don’t have great grades and I regret dropping out of college twice. I want to get a degree in something where I know I will want to work in for the rest of my life. And that is the problem. I honestly couldn’t tell you if my life depended on it what my true passion is and what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I love lots of things, sports, music, psychology, business etc but if you asked me to pick one of those to stay in for the rest of my life I wouldn’t be able to decide. I know I want to help people and I have found working with kids rewarding but again it is something I couldn’t see myself doing for the rest of my life.

If you have any recommendations on how I can find out what I need to do with my life that would be incredible. I appreciate your time and knowledge and i hope to hear from you soon.
