What am I supposed to do with my life?

What am I good at? What do I have an overwhelming, all consuming, would do it every day for 40 years passion for?

…I really don’t know.  I know I like working in the games industry but I’m not going to be a tester forever/past this year. I loved studying psychology but HATED working in the social care field.  

I loved studying.  Loooved. Was good at it, stayed late, woke up early for it, thought about it all the time.  Made sacrifices for it.  In work just now I rarely do overtime because 1) it’s not paid, and 2) I’m bored enough when it gets to 5:30 that I want to leave and do something else.  I don’t care enough about it to be the very best.  And I want that in my career.  I want passion.  

So maybe I should go into academia, like my lecturer suggested.  But what would my field be? “Psychology” is like saying “everything real, imagined, past and future.” I need to narrow it down a bit.

I love to write, too.  Maybe I should…write…psychology…games? Yes, that sounds SO lucrative. *sigh*

I need to get back into moderating so that I have them as a reference for working with young people, should I decide that’s what I want to do. Educational psychology?? 

What’s also putting me off studying is the cost. I really don’t want to go back and live with my parents now I have my own place.  But I’m really not able to save any money just now because of the fortune I’m paying in rent and bills.  I JUST DON’T KNOW.

You don’t have to justify your body.

chillcake:

stophatingyourbody:

If you’re thin, you don’t have to say ‘but I eat all the time!’/’I have a fast metabolism!’

If you’re fat, you don’t have to say ‘it’s genetic!’/’I’m trying to lose weight!’

You don’t need to explain to anybody why your body is the way it is. Your body is YOUR body, and that’s all the justification you need.

When things such as this pop up on my dash, I get reminded that I follow THE. BEST. PEOPLE.
