Whenever I see someone happy doing their job or a hobby, I ask them how they do it. Most of time the answer is this: “because I love doing it”. They either love their job and career path, or love the hobby or event that they are doing. I envy that. All I want in life is to find something that I love doing; and do it. I want to find a career path or hobby that makes me so extremely happy to wake up each morning and look forward to doing it.

Growing up, I was surrounded by people who loved their job/hobby. I still am. Both of my sisters and my mom are in the nursing field, and they love it. My dad has a hobby of photography, and uses his free time to take pictures whenever he can. My friends at school even excelled in certain subjects that they knew that they wanted a career out of, such as science or math. And me? I’m still struggling to find a career AND a hobby. I ask myself what I love, and I can’t seem to pick one thing. Why is it so hard to figure this out? I wish I was like my family or friends and knew what I wanted to do, and was taking steps to get there. But nope, here I am as confused as ever. I hope that one day (please be soon) I will find a career path or hobby that I absolutely love doing. I want to be able to wake up in the morning and be excited to do what I love. I want to not get bored or angry at my life; I want to love it. I know that’s a lot to ask for since a lot of people get tired or sick of their job. But I want to have a life where I’m just as excited to go to work than come home from it. I know to some that’s wishful thinking. I want to be the one who actually accomplishes that.

So to those out there who found something that they love; keep doing it. Keep being happy and excited to go to work/have a hobby, and enjoy it. To those who haven’t found anything that they love just yet (like me); keep looking. We have to be hopeful that there is something out there that will make us happy all day and everyday. I know it’s out there, we just have to keep trying.
