Remember when things used to be so easy? All you had to worry about in a day was what color crayons to use or which sister you were going to play with. It seems like just yesterday I was living at home with practically no worries. ( ok, if you know me, than you know that's not 100% true because I'm always worrying about something, but still)
As of recently, I've found myself worrying more and more about the future, and I just keep feeling pressure to find out what direction my life is headed. I debate with myself whether I need to change my major in college, or should I double major? I stress about finding a job in this terrible economy. Am I really ready to get out there on my own and separate myself from everything I've always known?
My dream has always been to move to Boston.. and hopefully I was going to start that move with graduate school at BU. I just don't think I'm ready for that step yet. I know someday I'm going to have to suck it up and cut myself off from my friends and family, but I just don't think I'm ready for that moment anytime soon. Will I be ready in two years? I sure hope so. I always said I would be the one to make it out of my little hometown. I was going to leave and never look back. Well, I did leave, but I think its ok to look back every once in a while. I'm still trying to move on to bigger and better things, but I've come to realize its the small things in life that make your life worth living.
So, whats the point of this pointless post? Live everyday to the fullest and don't ever take anything for granted. I never realized how much I loved my family until I moved away to college, and now I wish I would've spent more time with them while I was living at home. Cherish the time you have with those that you love. Don't waste your time on people who are never going to feel the same way about you, don't waste effort on friends who are never going to be there for you. It's pretty plain and simple- love those who love you. Yes, growing up is hard. Life decisions are even harder. But in the end, its not about what job you have or where you live. It's about knowing you have people around you who will love and support you no matter what.
Thanks mom and dad for always picking me up when I fall.. and I know you'll always be there to help pick up the pieces.. even if I'm a grown up!
