Where am I going?

I honestly feel lost right now. It seems as if I have no direction in my life. My first attempt of a future with art fell through. I tried working down at Disney, but failed to launch after so much preparation. (Once my contract finished that is) Then I went for a tour director certification, earned it with flying colors, but failed once again to go anywhere. Now I am just floundering. Scrounging up what job I can but being too apprehensive to do anything more.

My only hapiness right now is coming from being on this site and the kpop that brought me here. Even with my family's disapproval of my writing and contant immersion in this world.

I just don't know what to do. 

Even if no one reads this I needed to tell someone. Thanks.

I think I can understand how you feel. I've spent all of my life as a student, jumping from one major to another, but not achieving anything spectacular, not even completing my studies for that matter. I've done everything from music to marine biology to law to accounting to currently pursuing a double degree in finance and management studies. What's worse is at my current age, everyone else is either very successful or happily married with kids (you can try to guess how old I really am). Every year I sadly watch the graduating class get younger and younger while I'm just stuck, not going anywhere. But the worst feeling for me is that I know what a major disappointment I am to my whole family. Since young, I was considered the born genius, the gifted one. Everyone, from my grandparents to my distant cousins, would tell me their dreams of me being the most amazing member of the family. Those talks have since died down a little. They may not have voiced out their disappointment but I can FEEL it. At every family gathering nowadays, I'm no longer the center of attention. While I appreciate being left alone (cos I'm a very antisocial person), sometimes I do miss having my family sing praises about me. Anyways, I don't have any advice as to what you can do next since I'm not exactly in the best position to advise anyone. I just wanna let you know that there's a pair of ears over here ready to listen to you. (or, rather, a pair of eyes ready to read what you write) Hang in there.
