Tables, turned.
I have a confession to make: I used to think people who didn’t know what they were going to do with their lives were poor, confused deadbeats. Having always been someone with a plan, I have often had a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea that someone can be so clueless about their future as to not know what they’re going to do with the rest of their life.
Tonight I realized that I have no idea what I am going to do with the rest of my life.
(I can see it now: God is chuckling.)
I have many possibilities in mind; even a general sense. But as for a straightforward direction, or a specific plan? Nada. There are many things I’d like to pursue, but they’re scattered in every direction. For the one I want to pursue the most, “1 in 100 actually make enough money to not starve doing that” seems like the biggest problem.
(I might be highly unmaterialistic, but you won’t catch me signing up for starvation.)
I suppose if all else fails, I can always become a professional golddigger.
Something tells me the next year will prove to be rather interesting.
Golddigging is always a viable plan b. Good luck deciding your life, I’m still trying to decide mine.

Also, hello design change! I LOVE it. It’s sooo clean
October 16th, 2009 at 11:41 amPlans are overrated. Let’s throw caution to the wind!
October 16th, 2009 at 7:58 pmI know exactly how you feel (no, really), and TBH, I think we’ve both reached our quarter life crises. That’s the only explanation I have!
October 17th, 2009 at 1:38 amWell, how about professional golddigger with the one thing you want to pursue the most on the side? :P
October 18th, 2009 at 1:10 pmHey, we can always still get married and live off my ridiculous wrestler salary.
October 18th, 2009 at 4:14 pmYou’re not the only one I know who’s going through this… It’s quite a common problem amongst young adults. You’ll find your thing, eventually.
October 18th, 2009 at 7:21 pmHah! I think that there are more people not sure about what they want to do, than people that are sure. Some people also just fake it until they make it. :)
October 19th, 2009 at 12:11 amI don’t think I’ll ever be entirely sure what path through life is the one for me – and I’m okay with that. :-)
I will choose my way at every fork. It’s the only way to truly live I think.
October 19th, 2009 at 12:35 amHaving no plans or just planning to change your life completely is just what makes life so fun!
October 21st, 2009 at 2:06 pmI’m at the same place in my life. I gave up planning this year when I graduated from college (because the “college+career plan” I had all but failed completely).
I think I’ll just continue doing each one of the things I love–despite how scattered they are–and see where it all takes me. I have confidence it will all work out.
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:21 pmDon’t worry, I went searching throughout the entire spectrum..changed my major several times and ended up selecting something I would have never considered. It’s truly a journey. You’ll think and think, hopefully pray, and think some more. Pray that it clicks. It’s a great feeling when it does :)

November 26th, 2009 at 1:58 pm[...] this little trip has given me newfound motivation to be successful (or, if that fails, becoming the most successful golddigger): I want a winter [...]
