Eh.. how exhausting! This day was very bad for me. And for others whom I love.
The truth is that I have made some terrible choices in my life. They seem to haunt me. I've blamed others wrongly, in my past I've turned to sinful indulgence instead of earnest and hard work. That's not to say I'm not a hard worker though. I think I have a good work ethic.
I've been trying to change my life over the last 4 years, but I can't seem to find a good job, or any like-minded people in my area. So I started studying for the GED and passed with flying colors! So far so good I thought. Surely something good would fall in place from that advancement. But I found myself stagnant still. Now I am studying to take my ACT, so that I can perhaps attend college and obtain a degree.
But still progress seems to eludes me. I try to focus on the positive every day, but there are so many obstacles. I'm sure you can identify!
I really need a job, but am limited in what I can do. Disabled is what my label is. I'm trying to change that because I feel ,with time and the right support, I can lead a relatively normal life. I realize I will always have to deal with some type of hurdle in my life, but at least I'm facing them now.
I know that I have many skills, but I feel that I am lost in the wrong area. Can anyone help me to understand this situation better? If so please feel free to give advice and suggestions! =) I need them I think.
If you have had similar experiences please share. You can post anonymously.
Thanks guys.

I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head with this:
"I know that I have many skills, but I feel that I am lost in the wrong area."
You could do so much, but I'm afraid Tutwiler and Clarksdale don't have the opportunities you're looking for.
Congratulations on your GED and good luck on the ACT. I'm sure you'll do exceptionally well.
You know, if you got a degree in graphic design or something like that, you could get an office job and still be creative. We have graphic designers where I work who design publications -- brochures, annual reports, different stuff. It seems fun to me. And it's not strenuous or anything. Just sitting at a computer screen all day.
Plus, you'll have a chance to meet other people who share your artistic interests and talents.
Maybe?
Thanks for the advice! It is very helpful!
I wouldn't mind a job like that at all. It does sound fun.
