Dear Rosie:

“I honestly would trade everything in to find a decent connection with someone. I am 26 years old and all I really want is to have a family, something that I never really felt like I had. I worked really hard to build this life, but I feel like I put my career in front of my own happiness and my relationships” –

– it reads to me, that building a career was easy for you, in comparison to finding and developing a decent connection/ relationship, and that’s why you invested in your career so much. Your happiness is in having a decent connection with someone, but it’s been too difficult to find and build on such a connection (?)

“I have a career, though it’s not really something that I am deep down passionate about” – your lack of passion in regard to your career may be the reason why it’s been easier for you to develop your career than to developing a decent connection with someone: your feelings/ passion regarding the latter may be in your way.

“Can anyone offer me some advice?” – I will be glad to do my best to offer you advice, but I need to know if what I posted right above is true, or partly true.
