Your life is what you make of it right? This is at least how I think it should be. I’ve worked hard and received a lot. The only question now for me really is, “what happens next?” School has been my life for 20 some odd years and that is all i’ve known. Now it’s time to go out and learn more.
Only now, the classrooms are bigger and consequences greater. Without getting too philosophical I think we all reach this point in our lives where we wonder which road to take ahead. Some begrudgingly, others with full force and intent, and others unknowingly. Branches always exist in the future but every once in a while we do hit this crossroads.
For me, the paths observable are those directed at a good sales job, something marketing related, or a chance to really surprise myself. I’m good at sales and want to reach the top one day. However, any semblance of a family seems iffy and hard to balance. A marketing job would bring me great joy, but I don’t know where or even how to start. Lastly, the surprise. I’ve always wanted to travel. God intended this world to be a beautiful place. There is much ugly brought by our own actions. Nonetheless, I’ve always wanted to somehow capture the great things this world holds. Knowing one place, few people, and few situations i think is the saddest things one can do. This is where ignorance and indifference live.
My only hopes in life are to make a good living, build a good family, and travel. Either way though, all three must take more than an equal share. The pie is only 100%, so which road do I take. Hard choices are ahead. The only way i think to get through them are to just chose and try. Too many waste time trying to find the answer. Others jump and regret. However, if i can chose and make the best of it; i’m golden. Only if more people realized that their choices weren’t anything but their own. As well as something to cherish. We own what we do and are shaped by those actions. Take a stance, pick a road, have some fun.
