I am so confused with life right now. In august it seemed like i had everything and i feel like i keep losing more and more. i quit dancing which i had been doing for 8 years but im not so stressed with school anymore. although, i get really bored after school. track season and lacrosse doesnt start till january and im gonna start modeling which is exciting but im so blahh right now. nobody will hire it me seems like ive turned in so many applications and im not gonna lower myself to a lowlife job that isnt me. i know your probaly thinking wait till january and you will feel the opposite but i dont know what to do with myself. everyday i go running do my homework and then hang with friends or something. ohh and not to metion for some reason it seems like i only have 2 good friends in my life right now. all the other ones seem like fake people. i dunno but if u could give me some tips to be more high on life. i would really appreciate it. i feel so low.

I don't know how passionate about dancing you were but sometimes when we stop doing something that we're used to doing for years you sort of feel empty. I know that was my case with art. After doing art for four years, my ninth grade year, I discontinued any type of art. And I always felt that something was wrong or that I didn't know what to do with myself. The reason was that I was so passionate about art, take when it was finally taken away I didn't feel complete. It took me the whole year to realize that.
It seems like you're one of those people who must be doign something and be very busy. You know, all this free time wouldn't be the worst thing ever. You get time to hang out with your friends, you can get involved in a new activity. You have time to work on whatever it is you'd like to accomplish. Now believe me, someone will hire you but you need to be patient. I felt that no one would hire me when I first applied for my job. Do you know how long I waited until I got the position offered? Four months. Additionally, you're going to need to start off somewhere. Having any job experince is better than none at all. Half the people who are millionares didn't start out that way. You need to work your way up. And if that means that you'd have to work at a fast food place for starters, that's pretty damn good. At least you'll know what to expect. My suggestion is to keep applying to places where you'd want to work and wait a few weeks to see if you get a call. If you're pretty sure by this point that you're not going to get the job, apply somewhere that is looking and could hire you more easily. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And you're not going to be looked at as being lowered. I think if anything you'd be respected because sometimes the jobs who don't pay as well are one of the hardest to take on. And you seem like the type of person who could handle it, so I don't see it as a problem. You'll be fine. Please don't stress over it! I'm sure many places would love to have you working for them.
"Having one good friend is better than having 10 fake friends" are words I strongly believe in. Many people have all these friends but they don't really know them. Tons of people are fake out there. And that number is increasing every day. If you have just two friends who are genuine, you are way better off than having 100 friends who are two-faced and fake. I know you probably have many of people you talk to but I'd be really appreciative of those two friends. I'm going through the opposite situation right now where I'm trying to get past some of my friends who are acting really fake right now. All I can really tell you is to appreciate what you have. If you see people who seem like they are real and would be nice, meet them. It's always good to have a variety of people in your life and there are still many people who are worth meeting. All you would need to do was meet them and give them a chance.
Here's one of my favorite quotes, it always make me happy. And I thought it might cheer you up too!:
Life is too short
Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness
Laugh when you can
Appologize when you should
And let go of what you can't change
Love deeply and forget quickly
Take chances, give everything
And have no regrets
Life is too short to be unhappy
You have to take the good with the bad
Smile when you're sad
Love what you got
And always remember what you had
Always forgive but never forget
Learn from your mistakes
But never regret
People change, and things go wrong
But always remember
That life goes on
LOL! Hope that helps a little. If you need anything else let me know. Good luck!

You need friends... Lifes no good without friends. Plan a sleepover with some really good friends and talk about your issues. Get to know eachother more. Your friends will help you in times of need, anytime you need it. :) [ MorganBerry's advice column | Ask MorganBerry A Question ]
