I was wondering if anyone here is going through it too? Or if someone who has can give some ways to handle it?
I suppose it's the reason I am here on this forum.. I'm almost thirty, another birthday soon and I've gone into a bit of a downward spiral. Just a lot of self doubt, worrying if I'm on the right track and if I am being true to myself and what I want. I think I still hold onto a lot of dreams that don't really have a place in reality.
When I was a kid, who I really wanted to be was Indiana Jones, lol. I know archaeology is nothing like how it is in the movies and the realities of working and travelling aren't that great. At the same time, I've ended up in a creative job but ultimately a desk job, nothing like the dream I had about seeing the world.
Funny thing is I worked hard to get here, to have a career I am passionate about and lifestyle that I enjoy but I guess I'm still holding onto those childish dreams. I'm afraid to let them go because I don't want to be 50 and angry at myself that I didn't act now. At the same time, my business is in its infancy and I need to be working on it to make it grow. It is so important to me but I'm wasting time worrying and acting up with too much pleasure seeking, trying not to feel this stirring discontent :frustrating:
