Reply #: I'm pretty sure I have a few years on you, and yes I've lived a life

My dad controlled my life for far too long. Eventually, I said enough and made my own way. I've dealt with peoples' expectations and peoples' assumptions. I'll compare some of my bosses from hell with yours anyday.

I've had jobs that I hated, and that were wrong for me. I've also been denied opportunities I wanted.

I've kissed my share of frogs and so far, none of them have turned into princes.

You know what - that's life. I don't want to be unfeeling, I'm not unfeeling. I've certainly lived through a few wretched hours. I've felt alone and at a loss. I may not know your exact circumstances, but I've had dark times too. If anyone has lived at all, they'll have had dark times.

I'm just saying, that the only way you'll get out of your funk is to decide to do it. That doesn't mean you need to feel bright and sunny all of a sudden. You need to make a decision and take steps. One step at a time.
