I’ve always loved planes and aviation since I was a little kid, my grandfather worked at an air and space museum and he took me all the time. Was in rocketry club, aerospace classes, and civil air patrol all through high school, and during senior year I decided I wanted to pursue musical theatre. I have also been performing for much of my life, since middle school have been lots of shows and always had fun no matter the role or show.
However this year, I haven’t made many friends, am failing some classes, food and gyms are awful and getting worse constantly, got depression, and lost love of the musical theatre major i’m pursuing at my current college. I wasn’t cast in any shows this year while everyone else in my class was. Most of my class think I’m weird (even tho we are theatre kids and are all weird so idk what they are on about) - except for some really awesome exceptional people. I knew that music theatre is a really really hard job but I thought I loved it enough to look past the horrible pay and job consistency. Now at the end of my second semester I’m really questioning myself. And also the social implications of people knowing I dropped out? It’s hard to think about.
My parents have been saving in a 529 since I was born so they would have enough money to pay for flight school and certificates and I know they would absolutely support me, I’m just wondering if I’m overreacting.
