Who am I, and What did I do with the old me?

I normally don’t use this, but this begs asking. 

Have you ever woken up one morning and wondered where am I, and how did I get here? Not necessarily in the physical sense, though I’m sure some of you have wondered that; more so in the psychological sense. It seems like just yesterday I was a college freshman dead-set on majoring in Exercise Science, and being a Cardiac Rehabilitation Assistant, or something like that. But then I changed my mind, I went back to one of the things I have always enjoyed doing: music, and music recording. Changed my major„ started touring with bands, running shows, starting companies, making money, growing contacts, etc… All the things one hopes to do when entering an industry. However, that wasn’t for me either.

The point is after having multiple jobs in multiple industries and being successful in them, I really don’t know who I am, or what I want out of _____ (insert: life, job, career, friends). I wonder how I went from knowing exactly what I wanted in life, to just simply floating on. 

I was home recently and one of my friends remarked how I had my life all put together: college degree, I was able to find two great full time jobs in a down economy. I make enough money to pay all my bills, I’ve got it “all together” they said. Some days it feels more like I’m trying to keep everything from falling apart.
