All these thoughts are rolling around in my head and yet I can not connect them enough to write them out in a way that makes sense to everyone. I believe that is what professionals call...writers block.
Huh. I always wanted to be a writer when I was younger, I even wrote a book called; "Tara the Cripple". It was obviously about a crippled girl named Tara. The other characters were based on my imaginary friends at that time; Danielle and the other-less important-one. My favourite thing i ever wrote was “The Ham Sandwich” a short story that in grade 7 got me into a writer’s convention. Wow i am a big shot!
My mom always said that i should be a writer, and it seems to me that moms always know best. Especially my mom, it’s almost as if she can predict the future.
Hmmm the future. That is a scary concept.
Everyone stresses out so much about their future, their choice of post-secondary education, and their future career. I have been out of high school for 2 years and i have received no post-secondary education. But i have received a whole heck of a lot of post-secondary experience. Yes i would love to go to school someday, but sometimes don’t you just want to see the world? And get to know the people in it?
Get to know the people and cultures of this world and you could change the world, conquering one injustice at a time.
Okay so stress is a huge part of your future and i think that pressure is another big hurdle to get across. I have grandparents who come from the generation where you get a good education, a good paying job, have a family, work and die. Yes maybe if it was the 1920s and we were in a depression that might solve everything. My grandparents want me to be a doctor, and no matter how many times i tell them that being a doctor has no interest to me at all, they still don’t understand. Don’t get consumed with the pressure that parents, grandparents, teachers or even friends put on you.
(Of course i’m talking to myself here too)
I know a God of peace. I know a God who will take away the stress and take away the pressures and just let me rest in his arms, his loving arms. John 14:27 says that God will give us peace, and not peace as the world knows it, that we should not be afraid. Wow. Easier said then done eh? The way i see it is that if you find the things you are passionate about and you do something to develop those passions then nothing can stop you.
Have confidence. Find something you love. Go after it. Let nothing stop you.
Then when your future comes you can say with no hesitation; “I was born to do this”.
Everyone has the desire inside of them to change the world, to make a difference. Can we really do that?
Of course we can.
