I haven't read all the responses, but I felt the need to reply. People just don't fit into cookie cutter shapes like that! I went to a technical school at 28 and started my career as a graphic artist at 29. Nine years later, here I am, not rich or anything, but making more money than anybody else in my family, and more than I ever imagined! Do I sometimes wish I had done all this at 20 and then I'd be a decade ahead? Of course I do! But that's not the way it turned out. All I can do is make the best out of what life throws at me, and that's all you can do too (and frankly, what I've overcome is pretty damn impressive!) I know people with 4 year degrees that would die of envy at my job and income.

You are so intelligent, so interesting, and just such a great amazing person!!! You can't live your life trying to live up to other people's expectations. That's a sure pathway to failure. You can only be who you are. And that's a pretty damn cool chic in my opinion. I would totally hang out with you if we didn't live so far apart. I remember stuff you've said that has made me think, damn, she's so freaking cool! Like going to that Indian wedding, going to the babble party and staying in a hostel, or taking all those difficult courses in school! Not everyone can do that! Not even most people can do that! You have got to learn to accept what an amazing person you are! Your family probably loves you a lot, and is trying their best to help, but that doesn't mean they're right!!!! You know what I'm saying? I know its hard, and I mean I REALLY KNOW ITS HARD to not have the support you need and deserve. You've got to learn to find that strength within. It took me probably until my 30's to find it, but I have every confidence you can find it sooner. Its time for you to start searching for it!

I hope this helps, I really do feel passionate about this.
