"What Are Your Future Plans?"

My face when people ask me “what are your future plans?”⁣

Tough question!

I’ve been having a conversation with my roommates about my “young-life crisis.” I have realized I'm not great at planning ahead any further than where I am currently at. Sometimes it feels like a flaw and other times I am grateful to be that way. Should I be looking for a 'big kid' job or should I continue doing my own thing and give myself time to explore while I'm still young. Who am I to know the correct answer to those questions? Let alone anyone. There isn’t a manual about the right path to follow with step by step instructions! The world feels enormous containing endless choices and opportunity. If there was a word for fear and excitement mushed together this should sit by it in the dictionary. Young adult hood is a constant battle between I feel fucking awesome! And woah I have no idea what I'm doing.

But does anyone really know what they're doing?

I have come to the understanding that I am still a baby in the big scheme of living. I hold solace in my belief that success comes in many different forms and that I don’t need to know my whole life plan by tomorrow. There is so much left that I want to do and a hell of a lot to learn. I want to live for right now and tomorrow I’ll live for tomorrow! But life isn’t that easy, is it? Someday I’ll learn this balance. Today isn’t the day but maybe tomorrow.
