What Should I Do With My Life?

I have the best business idea! Or maybe it’s an app idea – either way, it’s going to change your life. Well, it’s going to change my life. And that’ s what I really need, life changes – which is how I came up with this idea.

Let’s start at the sorta beginning… I have been going through some challenging times in my relationship for a year now. It’s not stuff I can totally talk about here because it’s not just my life it’s someone else’s too. And while I am an avid over-sharer, I am trying to be considerate of others and find a healthy outlet for myself as well.

Anyway.

I have asked a few close friends and relatives, “What should I do?”

And apparently, being an adult means no one tells you what to do anymore. When the heck did that happen?!

My mom bossed me around for 18 years and suddenly she’s all like, “I can’t tell you what to do, you should follow your heart blah blah blah…”

Thanks mother.

My best friend is the same way, “I don’t know…”

Cindy, you are the worst.

(Not really these are my two favorite people.)

The point is no one can make my life decisions for me, but I know they have an opinion. I’m sure they’ve thought, “I would do xyz.” Right?

Maybe not. Maybe they’ve thought, “Sh!t, I’m glad that is not my mess…”

Ha!

Since no one is telling me what to do I decided to finally go to therapy. I don’t know why it’s taken me this long – I love therapy! Well, I haven’t been to therapy since college and that was for completely different reasons, but I loved it back then for sure. Everyone should go to therapy.

If you thought right there, “I don’t need therapy!” <- Then, you need therapy the most.

So I found a super cute young little therapist very close to me that takes my insurance. I spent a lot of time looking around online and knew she was a great fit for me based on her philosophy and mention of relationships and stuff.

I went to my first session yesterday and tried to give her the bullet points version of my current dilemma. It was a really great meeting and I like her!

But, she didn’t tell me what to do.

My time would have been better spent learning how to flip a coin (yeah, I don’t know how to do that at this point in my life – but I’ll talk about it with my therapist so my self esteem isn’t crushed).

I know no one should tell me what to do. I’m probably lucky that I don’t have a bunch of controlling jerks in my life that tell me what to do and how to live. I am grateful my people are supportive of my decisions.

But I still don’t know what the heck I’m doing.

And that’s when I came up with this genius idea… there should be an app or some sort of anonymous form you can send to certain people where they can vote on what you should do. This way you wouldn’t know who is voting for what, but you can collect the opinions of the people who matter to you.

It could be anything from “Where should I go to college?” or “Should I get a dog?” to “Should I donate my kidney to my ex?”

Now can someone please get on this and send me the link so I can use it for my life decisions? Thanks!

Question: Do you have a person that chimes in on your life decisions? A psychic hotline? Bartender? Dog?
