I have so much more free time to do fun things

Keywords: {0}

I am starting to lean towards taking a gap year next year and just seeing what happens. I had such intense tunnel vision at the beginning of college in regards to soccer and wanting to be a doctor that now I feel like I missed out on pursuing other interests. Now that I am certain I’m not interested in either of those things, I want to take the time to explore other things. The best and most fun opportunities I have encountered so far have happened when I take a step back and explore what makes me most excited. I am also nervous that if I rush into school again I might miss out on unique opportunities that wont be around for too long. I won’t be young forever but law school isn’t going anywhere!!

I want to feel passionate about what I’m doing

Keywords: work career , chemical engineer , engineering , job hunting , job search , new career , teaching

The truth of the matter is that I genuinely enjoy data, exploring trends, implementing programs, establishing tasks towards a goal. And, at the end, I like looking at and analyzing the successes, but learning from set-backs to establish a better solution for the next challenge. I like it. I relish it. I want to do that. I just don’t know how to get there. Plain and simple – I want to do something where I can apply my engineering skills and experience in a way that positively impacts our world.

The question I cannot help but ask is if they truly “lived happily ever after” or they are just happy to settle for something that is less than the total misery that had smothered their hopes out of existence in the first place

Are they just so lost that any sliver of light is enough to go on? Maybe “happily ever after” for them is just getting out. Maybe “happily ever after” had nothing to do with the prince and just implied that there were able to move past the trauma in their soul or possibly they finally just let it swallow them up and lost who they ever were to begin with.

What do you do when the thing you thought was your calling just isn’t?

Keywords: serenity snippets , growing up , journey , my journey , peace , reflection , self love , update

I love planning things and bringing joy to people. I always thought it would be through words. I always thought my greatest gift that God ever gave me was my ability to tell stories. Now I’m not sure and it sadness me but also confuses me. I love my job. I love telling stories. But I just don’t know if that is the most fulfilling thing in my life anymore.

I want to challenge each of you to think about what you are prioritizing

What kind of excuses are you making when it comes to creating/maintaining relationships? My excuses range from work, not wanting to spend money, to still needing to get a workout in haha. Once you have pinpointed your own excuses, also think about the excuses others are using toward you. I’m not saying we should always be skipping work or something but I am saying that no one is too busy for the things and people that truly matter… and if someone is too busy, you deserve better than what they are giving you.
