    Hi Cassandra,
    I know this is hard for you to understand, but this person is trying to save your face and pain. Whether he wants to be free to be Bob Marley or be with another woman, he has changed.
    He sounds young. Men seek more variety than women do. Don’t take this personally. Be happy you are free to discover yourself and later a man who appreciates you.

    Hi Amanda,
    I will tell you that I did just as you are doing. I switched from a major I was passionate about to one that offered greater job security. Ugh. I never used it. My strategy back fired and I found myself unemployed with a new college degree.
    What I do know.
    College is a time to discover yourself. Take a variety of classes and find out what you like. If you pursue what you like- opportunities will come.
    Lots of jobs just want a 4 year degree to show you know how to read and write. So if you find a job you want to apply for in a different field, go after it.
    Experience is the best. A college degree and job experience are your greatest assets. While you are in college, try some jobs. See what you really like. Then build some experience in that field even if you don’t have a degree in that subject. Your ability to perform the job will shine through with your passion.
    Life is long. Take your time. People feel stuck because they “just settle.” Take an extra year if you have to and get to know your joys. Life is soooo much better doing something you love.

    Hi Desperate,
    It sounds like you are carrying secrets about yourself you don’t want anyone to know and you are ready to burst.
    When I had pain from childhood that I couldn’t acknowledge, the anxiety ate me alive. It sounds like you are an excellent friend to everyone but yourself. Funny, because you are the one who really needs a friend and also, you are better at understanding yourself than anyone else.
    For a minute, pretend a friend of yours sent the message you wrote above. If you were caring about someone else, would you be able to clearly see the solution? That is usually true. We see the truth for others but not for ourselves. Take the time to write an answer to each painful statement above. What would you tell a friend you loved? Every time one of those bad thoughts comes to you, read the loving answer that you wrote for your friend. It is about learning to see the world differently.
    Life is a long journey, but if you can learn how to be your own best friend now, you will never be alone.
    There is more to say. But I hope this is a good start
