To The Girl Who Is Still Trying to Find Her Way

Embrace the feeling of stepping into the unknown without knowing what will happen next.

To the girl who is still finding her way:

When you are finding your way in this world, it isn’t easy. I am the first person to admit that the journey that I have taken in my life is not what I have imaged for myself.

Right now, you don’t know what your future holds. You never know what will happen, where your opportunities will take you, or why you should even take them. But trust me when I say this: you will find a way in your life, even if it is not the path your imagined for yourself.

If you look back at who you were last year and what your life was life was like, you will find that it’s completely different than your life in the present moment. Your journey is meant to be unknown. It is meant to change from what you originally intended.

Feeling lost in a world where you are supposed to know your way instead of being lost can lead to confusion and frustration. Usually, life does not turn out the way that you planned for yourself, and it can be unsatisfying when you have a setback that doesn’t take you where you want to go.

But these setbacks—all the failures, rejections, and loss—shouldn’t discourage you. Instead, setbacks should motivate you and show you that something better is coming in your life. You must be patient and wait to see what is coming, what God has planned for you, and trust that you will have it all figured out one day—but today is not that day.

You also shouldn’t blame yourself for not having your life figured out at this exact moment. Trying to figure out exactly what you want to do in your life at this very moment is stressful.

Instead, you should embrace the feeling of stepping into the unknown without knowing what will happen next. Use this time to discover who you are because there is beauty in finding yourself. The only way you can grow as a person is if you assess your current situation. If you don’t like something about yourself, change it. If you have a dream, work hard until you achieve it. Along the way, you will never know what opportunities you will encounter or where you will end up, and that is the beauty of your journey.

It is up to you to change your life. You can either remain the same; stressed out about what will happen in your future, or you can go out in the world and create a future for yourself. The choice is easy, but making it is harder.

Being lost and feeling like there is no end in sight is difficult. You see others around you becoming successful and it makes you feel like that will never be you, that you will never measure up. But you must trust that this is only temporary and that this feeling won’t last forever.

So, stop thinking that your life should turn out a certain way. Rather than planning your life, take every opportunity that comes your way; you never know where it can lead. Never give up on finding something that will make you achieve your goals, and remember that finding your way is only part of the journey.

From,

The girl who is lost, too

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
