Meg - People mature at different rates. Stop comparing yourself to anyone else and just be who you are....

18 may sound all grown up to you - and others your age may appear to have it "all together"...but - trust me - most 18 year olds do NOT really know who they really are, let alone what they want.

Take a deep breath......now just take one step at a time. The old cliche is true...."Inch by inch, life is a cinch...yard by yard it is very very hard".

If you have a steak on your plate, you eat it one bite at a time - you would choke if you put the whole thing in your mouth at once. I think you are trying to eat the whole steak - figuratively - and it is overwhelming you to the point of paralysis.

I remember when my son was little and would cry about a page of math problems. He would spend a half hour crying about all there was to do. He was so overwhelmed by looking at the whole thing. BUT...when I would cover up all but one math problem...he would do it..one problem at a time.

Meg...same thing for you...one step at a time. OK?
