<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I'm in my early 20's and I'm attempting to figure out what direction I want my life to go in. I've been listening to other's advice and trying to listen to myself on what I truly want. A lot of people say "do what makes you happy, and "chase real things, like family, friendship, love, happiness, and not things like money, fame, social standing". 

I attempt to move forward, because moving forward towards something is better than not moving at all. I followed my heart; what I thought my passion was. Instead of going the path of Law School (so I could feel important about myself), I went to film school. 

When I found myself second guessing my decision, I took a year off to travel the world. I lived in a foreign country. I became a teacher. I had a stable life (income, girlfriend, friends), but I became antsy again. I wanted more. I wanted to achieve, not feel like I abandoned my dreams, ambition, and whatever it may have been that caused me to want more. So I left all, once again, and moved to Hollywood. I began working in the film/tv industry.

After working in Hollywood, things all seem to revolve around nepotism. I wonder if I can really make it because I'm introverted. I don't make as many friends here as I normally would. Dating is difficult, as well. Things seem to go in favor of this bogus hierarchy that people make up.  I hate that things go to the most popular, not the most hard working. Things feel fake; people feel fake. I feel like I'm sacrificing my family, friends, and love life for this. But I want to feel important, as well. I want to feel like I can overcome it all. I want to feel popular. I want to be rich. I want to be respected. 

But now i feel fickle. I feel like I don't know what I want. I feel like I'm in it for the wrong reasons. I feel like I'm in it for the right reasons but I'm just discouraged. I feel like there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best. I'm confused.
<bot>: What does it mean to "be true to yourself" when you don't know what you want or who you are?
