aw.... if you have an idea where you are going - that's all you need. Every step forward has opportunity for refinement, change and course correction. You only need to know your best next step and how to feel your inner compass <3
Don't you worry - at about 22-24 years of age there will be another universal crisis - where those that didn't go to college compare themselves with those that do ~ and vice-versa. Those who worked instead wonder about if their career has meaning, and those getting out of college might not easily adjust to integrating their life together. And those who did bits of this and that are often the most self-torturing.
What I feel is that this moment of "what do you do after high school" is a very two dimensional map - with only one measurement key. And really life isn't like that. Life is about multiple kinds of intelligence, talent, growth and experience. There really is no wrong or better way to go. The only wrong is to not be yourself. Not give yourself the respect of honest feedback and honect encouragement. "I could have ... if...." is irrelevant if that choice isn't who you are.
You are amazing - there is no peer way to measure that. Just stay true to you. Then no matter how hard things are - they will have a purpose and ease. And when it is time for rejoice and comfort - it will truly be yours.
Thank you. 22-24 years of age seems to be about the time of being in one's prime. It is about that time that I really look forward to
It is weird. I feel as if, I know with definite passion what I want to do and where I want to be, just, not how to get there and where that first rung of the ladder is.
you know what is funny, is right after posting this, I found a couple of colleges that are damn near perfect for transition schools, or even just filler for next year XD
It is as plain as the lock of hair on your forehad to me that your spirit knows exactly who you are and what you are gifted to be <3 I imagine this is both gift and burden - for sometimes the power of it separates you - people admire you - but they might not be connecting with you <3
OK - here come some more age generalities - your mileage may vary At about 27 many people begin to have reference anxiety to society at large - rather than just their immediate peers. Childless people will wonder about children. Unmaried people will wonder about marriage. Renters will worry about homeowning. And a car that works is no longer special - it needs to be a NICE car. People without careers will sonerd about careers. People who stopped being creative will wonder if it was the right choice. Some people can begin to be a little defensive about the choices they didn't make or the things they do not have.
The thirties can be really nice. People can sometimes go from "being fully themselves" to understanding what it means to be themselves, noticing what it is they bring to a situation or environment, feel very in their stride and sort of fluent, capable, powerful and tireless.
Forties bring a sense of mortality - which can bring sorrow or beauty or both. For me it brings beauty. It intensifies gratitude and amazement.
It is true. I take pride that I have a pretty well rooted understanding of myself and what I want. There are still kinks to it, because the human mind and personality is always in a constant swirl as their lives and experiences continue and morph the way we take in the world.
generalities can be fun I don't really know why this made me giggle
Don't worry. a lot of people don't know what they want to do. Don't put to much pressure on yourself to figure that out right away. You have sometime to figure it out.Just try out somethings, that's what collage is for. I guessing your talking about where you want to go to college or which field?
well, i know EXACTLY what I want to do and all that, I just don't quite know how to get there. You start thinking college right now, cause I let it all slip by me pretty quick. It is easy to not think about it, when you are easily distracted by "more pressing matters." When, in fact, there really isn't anything more pressing than that at the end of Junior year.
Aye, I know. My sister went through it all...my parents got pretty mad at her too for letting herself slip a little. I'll be in that position next, not looking forward to it....
