I am a sophomore in college. The age where everyone expects you to have everything figured out. At 19 everyone thinks you need to have your entire future completely figured out. The truth is, I don't know where I'm headed yet. I don't know what the next 2 years look like and I most definitely don't know anything farther than that.
But I do know one thing for certain, I am going to make sure I make a beautiful life for myself. Whatever it takes and whatever it looks like, it will be beautiful.
The older I have gotten the more I realize that you are not in as much control as you think you are. You can plan out your years, but more than likely everything will change. Circumstances are everything. Life is completely unpredictable and you are fooling yourself if you think you can control every little thing. I know it sounds scary and maybe a little pessimistic, but it's the truth. Life is a wild ride and you will never know where one chapter ends and another begins.
Nothing is perfect. Things go wrong. Sometimes you have to start over. Sometimes your world crumbles around you. But guess what? You are going to be ok. You are going to end up right where you need to be, with the people you need to be with.
So no, I'm not quite sure where I am going yet. I don't even know who I will be. But I do know that I can only do my best given the circumstances. I know I'll end up right where I need to be in the end. I trust in God's plan and I find a great deal of comfort in knowing that even though I don't have a plan, he does.
