Someone once asked...

“I studied software engineering because of some pressure, my degree completed a year ago, but I'm not interested in this anymore, i tried to do many jobs but it's just drained the life out of me. Even if I force myself to do any job related to that field i suffer souch even I'm loosing my memory, I'm forgetting everything what I learn in college every coding everything, i can't even get any job anymore. Iove singing, i enjoy it, i never learn singing or any instrument but I want to build a career in singing, I've never asked anyone before to help me no matter what the situation was but i don't think i can do it anymore. I was having so many suisidial thoughts few months ago but i tried to overcome it and i gave so many vocal auditions but there's only silence I'm getting. i don't want to live like this and suffer, please anyone help me.”

I'm a computer science undergraduate and feel the same as you. Singing is something you enjoy and I'm glad you have tried auditions, keep doing what you love, work hard to improve yourself, you can even learn an instrument, I do hope it'll be fun for you. Hang on to your passions. If it gets unbearable, take a break, try new things, be gentle with yourself, ask for help in your community. In the meantime, I suggest to work part-time for you to not be famished, even if it's in a sector other than what you studied for. I know it's easy said than done, but hey I hope one of your auditions will turn out great.

I am feel incredibly sorry for you. I personally do not believe in God, but I do believe that we're all here for a reason. You were given your voice to be heard. You are special. You can't give up, because you would have wasted your life. Somewhere out there, there is a person laying in a hospital bed staring at the ceiling thing of all the things they could be doing. Singing, dancing, being so full of life like you are. There is more inside you. You have so much more to give. Think of your family is you have one. Friend(s). Memories. Do you really want to waste all of that time you spent? You out so much joy and effort into your life. You made so many choices. You worked so hard. You are worth it. Make plans. Treat yourself. But my biggest advice is talk to someone. There are people who want to listen. Who want to keep you alive. That person could be your parent(s), friends, a therapist. A random cafe-goer. People care. People remember. If you really enjoy singing, I suggest getting some lessons. If you can't afford that just watch some videos. Sing in the shower, record yourself, sing in the mirror. You will get better, I promise you. I love singing too, and I've improved a lot more in the last few years. You just need a little instruction, that's all. But please. Talk to someone. And I don't mean on the internet like me. A real person. If social media is part of the problem (which it sometimes is) uninstall a few apps for a day or two. See how you feel. Take a walk in a park. Make yourself smile. Look it the mirror and think, what can I do to make myself look pretty? Do that. Research a job you like. Even if it's a wild dream. Try and get that job. But PLEASE. I'm begging you. Don't. Give. Up.
