OK you're not alone. I had a job that I liked it was just the rest of my life and my luck in the man department that I hated.
I was a receptionist.With a BIG fishbowl of candy on my desk. Best part about the fishbowl was it was on MY desk so i could just reach into it at any time (Wink Wink)
I got so fat and unhappy that I quit my job and went off the meds that were making me so fat and to crave chocolate so much.
I quit to chase my dreams. I'm still not a professional musician and singer and guitar player like my idol Lita Ford but I was out of work for almost a year (fortunately just before I was in the street I got a retroactive SSD check) and I am much happier now. I even think I would like being a nurse even better than a rock star and the paychecks are more stable too.
Sooo Take your time and chase your dreams. Write, journal and explore. Chase what makes YOU happy.
And come up with some polite BS to tell people in passing when they ask what you do for a living.
You could tell them you quit your job to write the great American Novel. ??
Your mom I think just wants you to have an answer to that question in passing. Maybe the people who hear that will start to tell you their secret artistic dreams and then you will have the subject for a book.Happy dreaming
