Hi artlady

I wasn't throwing the idea of therapy out the window at all, I'm thinking about it in great depth, I was just saying that I don't find therapy a decision that can be made easily or...

Hi artlady

Hi everyone

How do you know what you want to do with your life?

I'm asking because my job bores me but I have no idea what I'd rather do. I'm 23 and haven't been working long, but I'm feeling...
