I've been home for several months now, it might be about time I've updated this.
It's funny how quickly life can change when you direct your energy in one direction, or sometimes more importantly, away from a certain direction. As I grow older, the conventional 9-5 cookie cutter life grows less and less appealing to me. I've learned that change and uncertainty can be extremely scary, yet exhilirating. It can be quite fun to throw yourself in an uncomfortable position, not knowing how or when you'll get out, but the whole time knowing everything will be just fine. And the personal growth that comes from it. Travel is a beautiful thing.
I'm sitting here today, reflecting on the emotions, discomforts, and laughs I've had since stepping foot on that plane. The hardest part of returning home is remembering. Not so much the people or the places, but remembering the mindsets and gratefulness. Remembering that it's o.k. sometimes to dissappoint and more importantly, remember its o.k. to be lost.
I never had an answer when my high school counselors used to ask me "What do you want to be?". I'm thinking now, how could anyone realisticly answer this question. At 17 years old, you shouldn't have any idea. I'm happy to have a job now, but in no way do I consider this to be entering a career, but rather a stepping stone in my life. Maybe I can save a little money and gain a little experience before a jump to the next stone. The idea of living overseas excites me, I miss being in school, and want to have multiple careers. There's no reason I can't have it all. The hardest part now is saving some money while not growing complacent. It's tough when so many people surrounding you have different mindsets of success.
