Right now I have pretty much nothing going for me. I'm a single Mom living with my parents. I have no schooling or any special talents. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and I have tried thinking about it over and over and I am completely stuck. I keep comparing myself to others. I keep wishing I had lives like them (like the rich and famous). They can work a few months and then they can take the rest of the year off if they wanted. Most of them are intelligent, rich, and attractive. All things I definetly lack. Has anyone else been in this sort of situation? How do I get out of it?
