On Having a Plan

I like organization. I like keeping things in order and I like knowing what I am about to do before I do it. I like knowing what the consequences will be before I do anything and I like to figure things out ahead of time.

All that being said, I've never been the kind of person to have my life all planned out. I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up, though I do have a few ideas. I'm pretty sure I want to get married someday, but I have no idea when. I don't know if I want kids. I don't know where I want to live.

If you're like me, and you have know idea what you really want out of life, I am here to give you my two cents. First off, I know how completely terrifying it is to be around people who have everything all figured out and who know exactly what they want out of life when you don't even know what you want for lunch. I also know how frustrating it is to have a lot of people you love have these really high expectations for you that seem almost unreachable.

What you have to remember is that this is your life. You make the decisions. So you don't have it all figured out right away. Big deal! Take it one step at a time. For me, step one is university. I know what general area I want to go into, it's just a matter of specifics now, and the next three years will help me figure that out.

I still don't know when I'm going to get married or have kids or any of that stuff. But I can still be happy without knowing. After all, where's the adventure if you've got it all figured out?





Oh look, I'm still talking!

Okay, so today is June 11th, and I just wanted to take a minute to say happy one-month to my wonderful boyfriend, Dylan. This month has been incredible, and I'm so happy. We've got a good thing going here, and I hope we've got many more months ahead of us. <3
