Didn't know where to post
I guess I'll just start off by saying Hi to everyone here, Hi! Lol.
My name is Ashley and I'm 23 years old. I had a baby 8 months ago and it's been good so far. What I'm trying to talk about is...I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life ever since my son came into my life. Ever since he did, I've been at home feeling like I'm wasting my life away just watching tv, playing computer games, going on websites while taking care of him and I feel like there's more to this life than doing all of the above (except for taking care of my son, lol) I messed up in college, both campus and online by not caring and just playing stupid computer games. I still live at home with my parents and my fiancee lives with us also. Overall I really don't know what to do with this life and I feel like I'm wasting it. Any advice?
Re: Didn't know where to post
well presumably you're wasting a lot of your kid's life as well, screwing around on the internet and all. I can't believe your parents put up with this crap, either. Use your computer to get a job, shut off the television, and get up off the couch and DO something. Start by paying rent, if you don't already, and paying for your kid's diapers/food/daycare yourself. It's not like some lightning bolt is going to strike you, with a sudden inspiration for this wonderful life that will land in your lap. You actually have to go out and create it.
what is your fiance doing?
I'd start with putting a resume together and getting a job (it doesn't have to be the job you'll have forever) but something that brings in some kind of income would be good. And it'll help give you a spring board to other things.
If you want to stop wasting your life then stop. Get off the computer, get off the couch and do something about your problem.
