What am I doing with my life?

Really, what am I doing? All my life, I’ve wanted to be an English teacher who wrote on the side. School is making it **** near impossible for me to get licensed to teach. Ironic isn’t it? The school is so obsessed with protocols and technology that they won’t teach us how to teach.

And I feel like all my creativity is gone. All through grade school, I was told that I had great potential. Now…it’s just gone. No one gushes over my writing. I feel like it has to be THAT GOOD (gush-worthy) to warrant any kind of recognition. My creative writing prof doesn’t give me any advice, so I feel like I’m treading water.

I can’t help but be jealous of friends who have profs that tell them to publish or who are writing novels. I’ve wanted to do this for so long, and somehow I can’t.

It sucks.

Yeah, I’m working on becoming a writer myself. There are too many critics if you ask me. Sure, a gold star shouldn’t be awarded to everything, but I think that it would be nice to at least reconize someone’s efforts. Please don’t give up.
