Just 21...
I'm actually pretty annoyed at the fact that when I was 15 years old I had to choose my high school subjects, I had to decide what career path I would pursue when I turned 17 and went on to University. I'm pretty pissed off that such a heavy, hectic almost life defining decision was expected of my 15 year old self. I barely even knew what I really liked or enjoyed, simply because the discovery of what we like or don't like comes from trying things out. At 15 I hadn't tried enough things. I was even just getting to know my body, so messed up.
Here I am, 21 years old and I hit a light bulb, four years into university I finally feel like I know where I should be headed. WOW!! I felt like I had no clue of who I am because I was so overwhelmed and almost looking to one thing to sort of define my world. It's rather insane, if I'm made in the image of an infinite God it means there's so much to me, I'm 21 years old and I don't have it all figured out and that is so okay. Was chatting with friends and we got to the discovery that one would have to be shallow to have all that there is to them worked out at 21, or can describe themselves in three words, lol. I mean the things that are expected of us really?! So I'm cutting myself some slack, I'm alive and it's an incredible gift and everyday is a discovery, adventure, lesson, everyday we find out a bit more about ourselves.
