u/Almacaro

When I was younger, people used to tell me I had great potential, that I would be successful. I'm 36 now, and I pursued what I believe was the wrong career. I hate my job, and I'm poor — not starving, but I can't do most of the things I would like to do.

I have never been to another country (I'm Brazilian). Sometimes I buy a ticket to an international concert, and my finances are in trouble for four months until things stabilize again.

I'm not happy. I feel like I need to start over. Sometimes I wonder if I should go back to college, pursue a second degree, and begin again. But I'm just too afraid to.
