reply when you're posting a serious topic, anymore...I posted a few of my friends on Facebook and MySpace about some problems I've been having...and how everything seems so impossible when I'm doing everything I can...

Here's the post I made:

"Maybe it's time I made a decision on where to go with my life. I looked at some friends' profiles and some that aren't quite friends (but not quite enemies), and I noticed they are all going somewhere and doing something with their lives. I stopped and thought, "Where am I going? What am I doing? Why am I here, and not somewhere else? What's wrong with me? Do I want to do nothing for the rest of my life?"

I have gone from a poverty-level home since childbirth in a small town; to mid-sized family living with a responsible family that wasn't my own in town; to a beautiful, but irresponsible teenage-ridden house that made it not so beautiful in a strange place; to a low-income one bedroom housing complex in a seemingly empty place; to my parents' business in town; to a temporary dormitory-ish home in a town I know next to nothing about. I have moved a total of 6 times since my 2nd semester of senior year in high school. I don't want to move anymore. I have found an absolutely, amazingly gorgeous 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home right in town. I'm not sure if it's for rent yet, but I'm going to try unbelievably hard to make it my own. (Other people may live there; I just need to secure it first.)

I moved from my parents' to keep a relationship intact, but lost my family. They still wish for the best, but they have done way more than necessary for me. It was as if I just turned my back on them. It feels so wrong, yet I cannot go back.

I had set a goal, when I was a freshman in high school, to be a millionaire by the time I was 21. I set a few other goals, and most of them came true. The difference between the ones that did become a reality, and the ones that did not was work and effort. One goal was to have a college lined up and ready by the time graduation rolled around. I had every opportunity to have that done. It was even an assignment! I blew it off because of various financial matters. I wouldn't have even minded attending a small community college. Don't get me wrong. It's a perfectly respectable school, but it's often looked down upon by students with incredibly high aspirations. Another was to go somewhere with music and use that to do something with my life. That didn't really happen. I got into district band and conference band, but didn't make my mark as deep as I wanted. I wasn't what I thought I could be. I went to the district music festival, had no reservations about anything and went to state level, and I just went crazy and had a good time. It got me what I wanted. My other goal was to enter into a respectable relationship by the end of the school year, but that didn't go as planned either. It was actually right after school had ended that it took effect.

As of right now I am jobless, homeless, and meaningless. I'm sure there are people that still care for and about me; it just doesn't seem like it right now. I am looking into the Army Reserves, much like a close friend of mine. It would give the discipline I very much need. I know I have the willpower and determination; however, I am uncertain of so much. It's a comforting thought to know I would be taken care of and well provided for. I'm not sure if it's the best route to take...If it is, I'm ready for it."

Hello, I had a request from HatesYou to post this on their behalf. I hope it helps:

Hey.

I know exactly what it's like to be in your position.
To be jobless, homeless, and meaningless.
I, too, have experienced certain struggles in achieving my personal and career goals.

The Army Reserves isn't a bad idea at all. In fact, i encourage you to go for it.
As you said, it will make you feel as though you are being taken care of and well provided for. Which is true.

I am happy to hear that you at least have a positive outlook, rather than a negative one.
I am also happy to know that you are not giving up, but instead you are seeking a way out of this massive shit hole.

Throughout high school, middle school, and even elementary, i moved around a lot as well.
My father was into that type of shit; hopping from place to place.
Until he finally died of Cancer and my mom decided to settle down. It's been hard to adjust but... whatever.

For someone who has gone through so much, you are very optimistic, and i admire that.
I'm sorry that no one has replied to your post, but know that I've been trying to have this reply posted the very day you made this topic.

I'm sorry if I'm not able to help you out much, but know that i understand where you're coming from and that i know you'll succeed in whatever you decide to do.

Best of luck.

So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!),
Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!)
An interjection starts a sentence right.
