My life as an actor

Lost out on this highway..

So I was just watching "In Good Company" (corny I know), and it partly reminded me of my situation. Topher Grace's character anyways. I'm doing this job, because it's all I've known, the only job I've ever had. Though I'm nowhere near as successful, I don't really know what else there is that I'd want to do, but even if I did, I'd still have to grow some balls and get out there and do something new. I've been telling myself that I'm going to do that, and of course it still has yet to come to fruition. Not surprising really. I feel stuck in a rut, in this dead end job working with people I dislike, and completely directionless as to where my life will end up.

I always thought I'd live out the standard life. Go to college, get a job, get married, perhaps have kids. But here I am, a 23 year old college dropout, living at home, having no clue what I want to do with the rest of my life. And now I'd settle simply for direction, a purpose, even if I ended up poor and alone, at least I'd be doing something I wanted, and perhaps even loved. It seems for some it comes so easy, like they are born knowing where their life will lead them. Unfortunately it's not that way for all of us. Of course, some would say that it's not the destination, but the journey that matters.Whatever that means.
