I feel very lost lately. I'm drifting further away from what I thought was my life, and I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

Three years ago I felt like I'd finally come into being just me--I had really great, close friends, I knew what I wanted to do with my life, I didn't look like a boy any more :), and I was enjoying every day of being in school.

Now....I just don't know. I don't like my job, I feel like I don't have many close friends (at least hardly any I can just lay my heart on the line with, like I used to), and I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going. I feel like all the direction I had is gone. The things I want to do are too risky, and I can't afford a loss right now. The people I want to be with are too far away. The person I want to be doesn't exist.

Where's my compass?
