Those awkward teen years before you reach your 20's and even those first couple years after you probably feel lost, dazed and confused. I'm feeling that way now. The only thing I'm not confused is what I want to do with my life. How I'm going to get it, where I'm going to go after college, what friends to keep in my life, basically anything and everything other than I know that I want to write and I want to travel is still a mystery. Society is constantly putting pressure on our generation to have everything all figured out. Life wasn't meant to be lived with a plan. You need structure and goals but you need to welcome spontaneity and adventure in your life whenever you can. Following a plan all your life is boring unless that's what you really love to do. Do what you love and don't let anyone stop you.
