I just had a realization about how weird I am. (Ok, not the first realization, and there are many other ways in which I am weird besides this...)
Hear me out.
Most people find peace in knowing exactly what they're doing in life. That is the "college dream", to have a plan for after school and be confident in it. But I just realized that I am the exact opposite. I realized that the reason I hate when people ask me what I plan on doing after school isn't because maybe I have no idea, but because I don't want to give the idea that there is one thing in life I'm after, and only one thing. On the contratry, there are so many things I feel 'called' to do, in which I whole-heartedly believe in some way, shape, or form I will fulfill these things on my heart.
Instead of wishing I could just figure out what it is I truly want to do, I am excited to see how these passions will blossom in different times in my life.
I will say, though, that I wouldn't mind a road map that just pointed out for me what I am to do first, and which will lead to my next thing, and so on and so on.
But I sure as heck don't envision myself just doing one thing for the rest of my life!
