    I began seeing a beautiful pattern of how every life experience and state of being does what it needs to do in every moment. My states of mind where I felt trapped and insecure – that I genuinely believed would never change – stayed for as long as they needed to and eventually left. If not for those stressful times, I would not be physically, emotionally, or mentally well-equipped the way I am now. I recognize this clearly because every day now, I experience the freedom and peace that I once longed for. People entered and left my life in perfect timing to teach me what I needed to learn about myself. Stress stayed for as long as required for me to know how not to identify myself with my emotions. Unfavorable circumstances affected me for as long as they were supposed to.

    I want people to be able to connect with what I’m writing, and therefore I’m trying to be as authentic as I can be about what I’m writing. From my personal experiences, the moment I can relate to someone’s story, I immediately feel better, in some way.

    It doesn’t matter what it is, go DO things. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed–so go out and live it. You don’t have to set aside three months to have a great time. Find fun things to do in your local area–go to the Farmer’s Market on a Saturday morning and pick up some fresh produce, go on a hike with a friend, go to a new bookstore and browse, or go on a sunset sail in the city you’re visiting (we did this and it was awesome!) Enjoy God’s creation in any way you can. It doesn’t have to be fancy or even cost you anything other than the gas to get there.

    I knew school was primarily going to be paid for using loans or any financial aid I might be provided. There was only one school remotely near my hometown that I would go to if I was accepted, otherwise I wanted to go somewhere in the country that would push me outside my comfort zone. I wanted a larger school than my undergraduate institution that still had a relatively small cohort size. In addition, I was seeking a program with enough clinical and practical experience opportunities that would prepare me to enter the field. I was interested in research, however it was not a make or break for me if the school had adequate clinical/observation experiences.

    In the early years of my 20s, I started to learn that money doesn’t necessarily make us happy. I know, I know there’s a lot of talk about this. I mean, at the end of the day, we all need money to do our thing, right? But, what I’m trying to say here is that, I’ve realized that during the hours I’ve spent stressing about how I’m not achieving those life goals that society tells us we should’ve reached by now, I’ve missed out on living. I could’ve made so many more memories and probably been a lot happier if I chased joy instead, if I choose my version of success to be how many times I’ve laughed this week, if I counted experience in the same way I do money, or if I climbed a mountain with the same eagerness as the career ladder. There’s a whole world to discover outside of those boundaries we’ve set for ourselves!

    By the time you reach my age, you realise, all those blessed souls who crossed your path, were intimate at some point, you actually perhaps never saw them for who they really were. You only measured them against your ideals and decided if they matched or didn’t. The instances of mismatches thereon only increase incrementally. Meanwhile, you wade through experiences, dreaming, hoping, hurting, healing. They alter you in more ways than you realise or dare to. So far so good. If I have reached a point in my life to spread the pearls of my wisdom you would think I would have made something out for myself at the least. I am afraid the answer still remains a disappointing no. Once you arrive at knowing what you want, it is hard to hold on to your patience. It feels similar to running the last lap of an ardous marathon close to the finish line. It is hard to carry on. You want to give up, You are worn. You want to throw in the towel. You are exhausted. And voila comes some rare insight. You are not done yet.
