In my short eighteen years many "jobs" and career paths have crossed my interest. At five I wanted to be a fashion designer, probably because of my fascination with Barbie. At seven I wanted to be a veterinarian because I thought they meant I'd get to cuddle puppies all day (At this point I had little knowledge of what medical school actually entailed) At ten I thought I could be a professional golfer (a little strange I know) As you might imagine the list goes on from there, it all depended on what peaked my interest that year...even that month. The one thing I can say I've consistently been interesting in was writing. And I think there's definitely a reason for that, in my writing I don't have to decide. I can pursue all of my interests by spectating and commenting or writing about them creatively. I don't know if that's the answer for everyone but it's certainly helped me in my indecisive tendencies. Into the Woods is a favorite play of mine and in one song Cinderella mulls over what she should do- go and find the prince or leave before midnight. She sings "You know what your decision is, which is not to decide" purposefully leaving him with the shoe, putting the decision in his hands now. I relate this back to writing, sometimes I think it's okay to step back and be passive in order to figure out what you truly want.
