I hold my childhood very dear because of how blissfully happy I was (and hey, not many kids weren't) but it seems that it was some kind of dream now; my family friends moved out years ago, they tore down the pool I used to swim in, paved over the parks I used to play in, dozed the shopping centre I used to visit every week to help my dad with the shopping etc.
Also I don't have any money. I teach guitar to about 2 people, and all my attempts at advertising my lessons go unnoticed (which is weird, given I charge $15/h). If I had some money maybe I could check out some new music, or save for a holiday, and eventually, move out.
I have my goals set out but the path to them seems to promise more of the same. On top of that, I have a lot of school work to do between now and then. School work that decides weather or not I get a good job.
I really appreciate the advice, all of you. Helps put things into perspective, for sure. I know one day I'll dig through and find this thread and laugh about how much things have changed.

i never finished school, and still got into university when i was 24, between highschool and then i worked in records stores bummed around got hammered every single day... you dont have to decide what you are going to do with your life, life is a very transient thing so don't put so much value on the small things. i grew up in a shitty suburb that had nothing as well but i made the most of it and went to the city 4 or 5 nights a week when i was 15 and onward. granted it was much easier to get into pubs back then. you wont miss highschool at all, i havent seen anyone i went to highschool with in 13 years and that is wonderful, they were all a bunch of tools and teen pregnancies anyway.
