I graduated college recently and I haven’t been able to bring myself to submit the job apps and go after what I want to do. I studied my passion all throughout my childhood and now I feel empty inside when I think about it. It seems that all the rejections I’ve had have made me stuck in this place of “I love what I do but I’m wasting my time because I’m not good at it.”  I realize there will always be someone better, but in a severely competitive field, that equates to a lot of people not believing in me. If I couldn’t even get my teachers to believe in me, why should I? 

Do I really want to quit what I thought I was put on this earth to do, or is this just a mental health issue?
