have u ever been scared of what the future will hold?

my story

i was terrified of what my future was going to hold. I didn’t want to be one of them people that struggles at the end of every month I had to make a name for myself somehow.

so i followed what society told me to do. i started looking at university courses, i was 14 at the time because i knew that adulthood would come around very fast. looking at being a surgeon, neurologist, lawyer and criminal psychologist actually at one point i think i wanted to be an aerospace engineer.

i was so caught up in what society wanted of me that I would actually have major anytime I went on university websites. everyone in my school knew what they wanted to do apart from me 😦

i really took this to heart. i thought that something was wrong with me because everyone else had this drive and passion to work in a normal job, but I didn’t. it took a little time to figure out what I want and to be honest i still don’t know i just chose something random and i would work out what i actually want to do during the years.

Now I guess I kind of know. I love writing, sharing my story with people that can relate to me. that’s why I am writing this while I study to build a community of like minded people. I want to influence people, i want you to know that you aren’t alone in the challenges you are going through. But who knows maybe i will have a normal job but having this as a hobby brings me all the joy and comfort I need.

how you can figure out what u want

1. Self-Reflection:
   • Take time to reflect on your interests, passions, and values. What activities make you feel happy and fulfilled? What are your core values and principles?
2. Set Goals:
   • Define clear and specific goals for different aspects of your life, such as career, relationships, personal development, and health. These goals will provide direction and motivation.
3. Explore Your Interests:
   • Try new things and explore different interests. This can help you discover what activities and pursuits resonate with you. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.
4. Seek Inspiration:
   • Look for inspiration from people who have achieved what you aspire to, or read about their journeys. Role models can help clarify your goals.
5. Education and Skill Building:
   • Consider what skills and knowledge you need to achieve your goals. Investing in education and skill development can open up new opportunities
6. Create a Vision:
   • Envision your ideal future. Imagine where you want to be in 5, 10, or 20 years. This vision can serve as a guide for your decisions and actions.
7. Take Action:
   • Once you have a clearer sense of what you want, take steps toward your goals. Break down your long-term objectives into smaller, manageable tasks and start working on them.
