I feel so lost

I feel so lost. I am 23 and I want to figure my life out! I know I need to go back to school, but I don't know for what anymore. Counseling, educated, Research, and now I am toying with the idea of Engineering. Basically, I don't know what I want to do.

I do know I want to have a house, dog, car, and be able to travel and see the world... But how can I do that. I can't picture myself doing what I am doing now for any extended period of time.

Could I be a counselor? Do I want to be a counselor? Do I want to be a teacher? Do I want to invest the time to be a teacher? Should I get a masters in education, then what? Do I really want to teach in a high school? What would I teach? Do I know enough to be an English teacher? Do I know enough to teach Math?

I realized, I don't have any answers to any of the questions I have about life. If anything I am getting lazy and losing my curiosity about the world because of my frustration of being stuck. It is time to move on.

So as anyone who has been reading my blog, which I believe to be nearly no one, may have noticed that I have been at a down time in life. I received a few comments from family and friends to just get over it. Then this wonderful, simple comment came from a complete stranger on the opposite side of the world. She told me, "cry your eyes out". It felt so good to be validated.

So I wandered over to her blog, and I am sorry I am not a completely dedicated blogger but I found hers interesting and fun. Jezzy sounds like a an amazing person. Finishing her PhD at 25, married, happy, living in Australia!!! Most importantly though, she is grounded and real. She knows real friends from superficial friends, she has a balance in her life of work and play. She smiles, and takes note of the little things...What more does anyone want in a person... so all that there is left to say or wonder is...

How do you become so "successful" at such a young age, and how do you stay so happy? I am not envious, jealous, or upset. I am inspired! I most likely will not have any of those things until I am quite old, but maybe one day. :-)

Some advice...

Guys if you know it isn't going to last forever and you don't plan on it lasting forever,

Don't ask a girl to slow dance because each time she hears that song she will forever think of you.

Don't give her presents that will be around after you are gone.

Don't take her somewhere she always wanted to go.

Don't sit on the beach under a full moon.

Don't make her do things she doesn't want to, because if she does, she does them for you, giving/losing a part of her individuality because you are more important to her.

Don't go home and meet her family, because she will have nowhere to escape without thinking of you.
