I can't tell you how long I have sat here trying to write this article.

I have come up with countless ideas but have not been able to finish a single one.

I wanted to write something meaningful, something that people could resonate with, not just about something random happening in pop culture that I most likely don't care that much about. I wanted to write about my life and some amazing life changing thing that has recently happened to me, but there's nothing that has happened. I haven't felt growth in any major way, I haven't felt like I've done anything note worthy with my summer, I just feel stuck.

After typing and deleting tons of random titles for potential articles and trying to come up with a sentence, I realized that I literally have no idea what to do.

If you know me, you know that I hate not being able to figure something out, I hate having to ask for help. Yet, here I am with not a clue on how to not feel stuck. As I write this I can't even think of how to put what I mean by stuck into words. I feel like I am where I need to be, but I'm not all the way there. I feel like I can't process. I feel like I get close to figuring something out, then everything I worked out is suddenly gone. And I don't know what to do.

I guess this is me asking for help.

The last thing I ever want to do. No matter how much I tell myself to take my problems to God and pray to Him and ask Him for guidance, I still feel like I have to do it on my own. I don't want to feel this way, but I don't know what else to do. This is me asking for help. Maybe this will also make you think of what keeps you going, what gets you motivated to finish something. Part of me is thinking that I just need to keep pushing and make myself finish something. But I have gotten to the point where I can barely finish a thought, a sentence, and sometimes my mind is just blank.

I know the Lord has all of the answers for me and I just have to be patient, but I feel like I've been waiting and nothing has changed.

I don't even know what I want right now, but I feel like something is supposed to happen or I am supposed to be doing something, but everyday has been the same. I wake up, go to class, go to work, go home, make dinner, do homework, repeat. And it's not like I dislike my class or my job, it's that I feel stuck and that nothing is leading me anywhere.

I really am happy with my life.

I love my job. Summer classes are actually pretty great. I love being in Charlottesville. It just feels like something is missing and I can't figure it out. This has made me feel stuck, but I realize maybe it's a good thing this is something I can't figure out. Maybe this is what the Lord wanted me to see, that I need to ask for help. I need to ask Him for help, and I need to ask the people I love for help.

So, what do you do when you feel stuck? What has made you "unstuck?"
