Are you lost like me?

Question

I am 22, married, and starting a great career, but I feel lost. I feel like this isnt the life I am suppossed to be living. It is almost like I fell into some mold. I am proud of my acheivements and the things that I have accomplished. But this isnt me, I have become what others want to see.

I am still trying to figure out how I got to this point. Like I was myself one day and this person the next. But now I think I am in denial trying to convince myself that "this is it" this is what life is made of. I feel I am in so deep it's too late to turn it around.

I have set such a good example for my family, that if I try to be my true self I will truly dissapoint them.

I want to know are there any others that feel lost like me? And if so how do you cope with it?

Answer 1

Forget god and jesus. A lot of people feel like this. Its life. Theres so much in the world and so much time, its up to you. Try some different things. Sometimes laziness or time does get in the way of seeking new things. But if you really want it, do it. And you might find something you like and you might influence those around you to do the same.

Answer 2

One of the worst things in life are regrets.

Sit down and figure out exactly what you want. It may take some time. You may need to try different things. Talk to your husband. He may be more supportive than you realize. At 22 you can take some chances.

I made a mistake at your age doing what everyone thought a good girl should do. I am so sorry I took the career path I did. I should have listened to myself. My husband would have helped me no matter what I chose. Instead I was listening to my family and worrying about their opinions.

Stupid me.

I wanted to be a writer. Instead I became a CPA. I hated it. Now I am a writer. And I am more happy than I have ever been. I have been published recently in a limited venue, but publishd nonetheless. No I'm not making a fortune, but that's ok ... My husband is proud of me. My family would never be satisfied even if I became President. LOL.

It's your life. You only get one shot. As long as it isn't immoral or illegal...explore the possibility.

Answer 3

I think we all feel that way at your age. In time we grow more comfortable with things the way they are. Hopefully this is a passing thing for you as it was for most of us and in time youll just gain happiness and comfort. If you know what you want and didnt explain it here then think it through bigtime before you jump into something you cant get out of.

Answer 4

the gap that only God can fill, you need Jesus.

we were created to obey and communicate with Him like any human relationships (except for the obey part) so no matter how much we have we will never be filled without God's love.
