I've had a real goal in life a few months ago, now all I have is a dream. What should I do?

A few months ago, I had a clear goal in life: to become a doctor. I was a straight-A student throughout school, and by my sophomore year, I decided to pursue a career in medicine. I started studying hard for med school, and my report card was filled with A+'s. However, recently, my passion for this goal has started to fade. Although I still want to be a doctor, it doesn't appeal to me as much anymore. Lately, I've been daydreaming about becoming a guitarist in a classic rock band called "The Solar Eclipse." The dream is so vivid that I've come up with album names, song titles, and even written some songs.

But here's the problem: these daydreaming sessions are taking up so much of my time. And my grades are falling, they're all B's now!!! I know I need to focus on studying and working toward becoming a doctor because I have the talent and ability to do it. I've been there before, and I know the solution. But the truth is, I'm feeling incredibly lonely. I haven't been able to find friends who share the same interests as I do. I used to feel connected to a group of friends who shared similar passions, but we've all grown apart over time. We've all found new interests, and when I tried to introduce them to my new hobbies, they weren't interested. In fact, they seem a bit tired of hearing about them.

Remind yourself that you won’t likely make it, as in support yourself, becoming a guitarist. That doesn’t mean you have to become a doctor. Perhaps something else will appeal.

I think am not suitable for any profession other than being a doctor. I like to read and research science, but to be honest, physics is not my field. My math is good enough to get me an A, but it's never been my best. I'm more of a biology person. I also like to find the source of problems, so diagnostic medicine interests me.

I also study medicine and it is better to be a doctor than a guitarist.

Of course it is! These were just stupid daydreams anyway, and becoming a doctor was a real, well-thought-out decision. I need to get rid of these stupid dreams. But I can't stop them, they've taken over my mind.

Balancing your aspirations can be challenging, especially when passion and interests evolve. It's crucial to dedicate time to both your dream and your responsibilities. Consider scheduling a set amount of time each day to pursue music, allowing the rest for academics. This structured approach can maintain your grades and give you creative freedom.

Engage with music communities online or locally, to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion. Remember, passions can coexist, and nurturing both can lead to a fulfilling life. Explore your musical side while keeping options open. Stay connected with what truly inspires you.

Do you even play guitar or any other instrument

No I can't! That's why it's a stupid dream. I need to stop this nonsense as soon as possible, but I'm totally addicted to these daydreams.
