I feel very... stuck.
If you didn't know already I'm the eldest of three sisters, my step sister is the youngest. So naturally I'm supposed to inherit my father's shop while my sisters can pursue whatever they desire. Normally I'm not very sour about the situation, I've known my entire life this would happen, but I feel like I need to do something... I'm not quite sure what, but I want to do something more than sitting in the back room sewing or sanding.
I've learned many useful skills because of my upbringing but sitting in the back room for nearly 18 hours on any given day has made me dull and almost semi-invalid. Our only remaining shop assistant and carpenters just treat me like I'm going to inherit the business, which I am, but I feel like I can be more than their future employer.
Or maybe I can't. I don't have any friends and no one I share my life with anymore. My sisters are just on the other side of town but every day I have less motivation to visit them. I'm either busy, or it just seems too far, or I simply just feel too overwhelmed by everything else. This forum is really the last hope I have for social interaction.
This is the life my father chose for me, it would be very disgraceful of me to just sell the business. I know I can easily find work elsewhere but... it just comes with being the eldest of three.
