writes: Ok to start how about a little insite to my life so far, as to better (hopefully) understand me.I'm a 19 yr old mother. I've been married for a yr and a half now. I'm only 5' 3" and weight 131 on my bathroom scale. I wasnt supposed to be able to have kids so my daughter is my pride and joy and she's 7 months. She's also extreamly tall already (way past my knees). I was abused in everyway thinkable growing up until I turned 17. I was beaten by my step-mother when my father wasnt home, mentally/emotionally abused by both of them, and sexually abused by my father when my step-mom wasnt around. So I've been to hell and back.My King (husband) came to my rescue and got me pulled out. I've been living with him and his family since (now in our own place though).My life since has been rough, but beyond like heavan compared to my past.My problem is. I dont know what to do in life. I love doing so many things (like dancing, singing, photography, traveling, acting, helping people, anything to do with animals/kids, ect ect). I'm currently a graveyard caregiver for 3 disabled children and I love it. However, I dont feel whole. I dont feel like this is what I want to do with my life. I also feel like everything I enjoy doing I'm terrible at once I start doing it...(except taking care of my daughter)...I'm so confused, I have sooo much passion and energy but I cant seem to focus on anything. I'll get into wanting to do one thing and then I'll watch a movie about dancing or listen to music or even come to work...and my focus and energy goes totally into something different! One minute I want to be a dancer, then next an RN, the next an actress, ect ect...I'm 19 and I really need to start focusing on something but I cant seem to stick with any given thing! It's driving me boncers!ANY ideas would be helpful!!!

littlemomma is verified as being by the original poster of the questionthanks for the advice and I'll take them into consideration!
I just want to be able to choose one (or 2) thing and be the best I can be at it (them)...actually accomplish/focus on something. Something that later my kids will look up to me for or maybe even want to do the same things. If that makes sense.
I will def. think about your advice though! Thanks!

or you could take up a hobbie with your little girl, a mother and daughter thing.
you could also join a group for mothers where you get to meet new mums like yourself and hopefully they could become good friends, and you would have more people to spend time with and that may fill up the gap in your life.

Why not work on 1 of your ideas every day?Dance 1 day then photography the next and maybe start taking classes a few days a week to learn how to do the things you want to.
