Don't you ever feel like something is missing?


Recommended Posts

this sounds like me in my 20's, was never settled with anything, always felt that something was missing, then i found my calling, i got pregnant, that was it, the jigsaw is now whole, i always wanted to be a mum. Im so much more settled with everything now, she is my world:)

Never let your job define you; you should define your work. At the end of the day, career or not, there really is more to life.

 

It's always better to regret trying something and failing than regret never trying at all.

 

We get ourselves into our own situations, good or bad. It's how we deal with them that counts.

 

how true! 2 and 3, i definitely subscribe to....all ive got to do is work on number 1!

Do you watch telly? If so, stop watching telly. It sucks hours a day from you, time you could spend doing things you want to do. Much like the Internet really!

 

 

how very dare you ? its probably that she needs more TV, not less!!

 

....er caprice.....could it be GOD?

I know exactly how you feel at the minute Caprice. Its rubbish :(

 

Its knowing that theres something not quite right with your life... feelings empty, even though you'v got mates/family etc. I feel like that at the minute.

 

It must be the weather :(

A bit of a heartfelt thread... So no mickey taking... :|

 

I feel like something is missing from my life... Yet at the same time, I'm not sure whether or not I have time to squeeze in whatever is missing... :confused:

 

You see I'm at Uni for a couple of hours everyday, studying law... I love it, I feel passionate about my course and have really gotten into it this year... I work part time at a restaurant, like 3 nights a week... (More so in the holidays) I have a good circle of friends, infact several circles but some are closer to me than others... I enjoy going out with them to the pub, shopping, house parties etc... Beauty stuff like facials and manicures...

 

But there is something missing... Most definately. I feel like I'm missing a passion for something... Like one of my mates is really into Horse riding... so thats her thing... another mate likes debating, so she's in the debating society at uni... I feel like that defines them, yet I dont do anything like that anymore...

 

I'm probably just griping over nothing... I just feel a bit undefined.

 

I'm missing a tooth after yesterday!

 

I know what you mean. I often get baffled, and dare I say quite jealous over people who get genuinely excited about such mundane things. I often, though not always, feel like I am living for a tomorrow full of rich and wonderful diversity that will make me feel fulfilled and satisfied.

 

Like most people, I know I want something more from life, but quite what, I don't know.

I'm about to finish my (biology based) degree this year but I have no idea what I'm going to do job wise. All my life I've wanted to be a Vet, but gave up on the idea during my A levels, I'm just not clever enough.. but lately I've been thinking about it more and more, it would be the missing piece in my life.. I have everything else (great family, boyfriend, friends, etc) but whatever job I end up doing, although I could potentially enjoy it, it's just never going to compare to my dream Veterinary job.

 

Maybe I'll apply to Vet school as a mature student when I've recovered from this batch of uni life! (It has been stressful, despite what everyone thinks about students) you never know I suppose but competition is so fierce I doubt they'd ever consider a mature student from Sheffield Hallam University!!

 

I considered Veterinary Nursing before going to uni, but they pay is just terrible! Jobs associated with my degree will pay pretty well (average is looking at 20k+ starting as Trainee) compared to the miserable 7k I was looking at as a Trainee Vet Nurse a few years ago..and I'd always be looking at what could have been!!

 

Ok, I'm rambling, think it's the stress of revising for my finals thats making me think of what's missing! I'm sure I'll love whatever I end up doing... :rolleyes:

 

Good Luck to everyone else, I hope you all find your missing pieces soon :D

There are 3 things that have really helped though, and I often wonder whether the people saying them at the time realised the impact:

 

Never let your job define you; you should define your work. At the end of the day, career or not, there really is more to life.

 

It's always better to regret trying something and failing than regret never trying at all.

 

We get ourselves into our own situations, good or bad. It's how we deal with them that counts.

It's very scary you know. To recondition yourself this way, when you're brought up to think that you must work to live. It's your lifeline. Now, emphasis is more on a lifestyle. Thanks for the advice. I think it certainly made sense. The older I get, the less bravado I seem to have. I dunno why that is.

 

Hey, I used to dance too, loads as a kid! Gave it up when I was 14 for various reasons (none of which were really my choice), but returning to it in February....I'm determined to take it back up again!

You should, you should! I too should get back into my dancing too. I think it's fate that I bumped into the guy today, who taught me a few steps which got me hooked.
