All my childhood friends have moved on to bigger and better things in life. Two of my best friends have moved to London ( I was invited to go but stayed in my hometown to be with my boyfriend). All my other friends have full time jobs while attending really respectful university studies. One is studying to be a nurse and another is studying to be a dr. Etc.

I am working part time at an awful restaurant and I still live with my dad and my boyfriend. I can’t stand us living with my dad who is incredibly anti vaccination and obsessed with conspiracies. He is driving me insane. I would love to move out but I feel like I can’t trust my boyfriend to be a reliable roommate. He can’t save money for the life of him and I’m worried I’ll be stuck with the apartment on my own. I have no one else to live with.

On top of that dilemma I’m at a complete loss on what I want to go with my future. I love to write, and I write well I graduated every English class at the top of my class. But it’s a risky move to be a writer. I know it might be smarter to go back to school maybe go into editing work. Or maybe take a business course. I’m just 18 (19 soon) but it feels like I’m being left behind. I don’t understand how everyone else figured out what they wanted so quick after highschool.
