I don't know if my life rocks, or if it's going down the shitter. You know that turning point, where you're leaping out there into the unknown, and just sort of hoping that things work out? That's where I'm at.

I recently dropped out of University (one of the best in the country, where I was doing really well) for a community college program. Why? Because I want to be an electrician, not just another 20-something with a Liberal Arts degree. So maybe it works out and I love being an electrician, maybe I've dumped three years of tuition and sacrificing my social life for studying down the drain for nothing.

I'm going to propose to my girlfriend in three weeks. She's been trying to get me to for a while, but I'm really scared. I don't know if I love her enough, and if I can stand living with her. She's got a lot of problems that I don't want to go into, but it means she needs a lot of care, and yeah, I'm scared of making that sort of lifelong commitment to someone who's disabled. I know she loves me to death, but I don't know if I feel the same about her- but I want a family, and I guess right now I'm hoping that's enough to start with.
Also, I masturbate a lot. To some pretty kinky stuff. And no one knows.
I have a dream of being a writer- it seems like the only way to live out the thousands of possibilities out there in life. There's so much out there that it's overwhelming at times, and instead of chasing down one possible dream out of a thousand, I sit at home and waste time reading other people's stories. Because of this, people think I'm interesting- but I'm not, just bored with an overactive imagination and no ambition.

I'm a coward. I'm a flake. I'm trying to build my life with a girl I regularly fantasize about running away from. But I figure if I just go and DO SOMETHING, at least it's better than nothing, right? What do you think?

Taking a chance on your job is something you should do. You need to do what makes you happy, and if that's being an electrician, so be it. But, if being with this girl makes you UNHAPPY, so much that you want to run away, please don't propose. You might want a family, but you are young and will find somebody you truly want to have a family with.

Become an electrician and write in your spare time. It doesn't work out? You can always go back to University.

HOWEVER, you cannot simply un-marry someone you've married (not the same as divorce), started a life with, had kids with. DO NOT MARRY THIS WOMAN! It wouldn't be fair to you or to her. I swear to you, you will regret this!!!! DON'T DO IT! BACK OUT NOW!!!

Please, oh please DO NOT MARRY HER, it is not fare for her or you, but who it is the most unfair to is your unborn children! It is fine to want a family, but this is not the way to start one. If you want to bring a child into this world that means the child comes first, this happens before even birth!
