A issue on my Life...

Well, where can I start? I guess with my name. Hello dear reader, my name is Peter, or something like that in English. Yes, I am Brazilian, I am 22 years old, and I believe that these years have not been very easy for me emotionally speaking. I am in my third year of dental school and I am doing “pretty well,” I think. To be honest, I'm not happy in this program. I wanted to try dentistry, and now I'm here trying to be as strong as possible. It's very exhausting and sad.

I wanted something with technology, working with data or programming. I've always been fascinated by that, but my mother insisted that I finish dentistry, which I didn't want to do, to be honest. In the first year, I even liked it, but in the second year, I realized that it wasn't for me. Please don't take this as cowardice or because I'm weak, it's just not for me. See, I've already given myself away with a simple comment. Once I wrote about my feelings in a letter and my mom found it while cleaning my room. Yes, there were some words and things that were a little depressing, and the ending is that you understand me. Much later, she used that letter as if I were a poor little thing and emotionally blackmailed me with it. Geez, I would never do something like that. I was just sad and down, that's all. I've always been a very happy supporter of others, but of course I have my bad days.
I just wanted to vent about this and that I really want to change careers to something I like, and how will I do that since my family won't like it.

sorry you are not enjoying getting to do what you want 😬 it's more fun to do things one enjoys but sometimes people have to do things they don't wish to to make a living.. dentistry is a good stable job in high demand.. but so is tech work if you are good at it.. have you never talked to your mother about perusing your own interest instead of her directives? schooling is expensive these days so it's good to make smart choices .. but you should be able to talk to her without her demeaning you or blackmailing you per say .. sorry you are not currently enjoying your studies
