To the person who’s afraid right now,

“on any day you can massively change the direction of your life” -Jim Rohn.

Have you ever felt compelled to have your entire life planned out right now? Even the thought of it struck me and made me urge to have one. That made me feel depressed for a couple of years, still thinking about what my future would hold. When we’re young, we’re frequently encouraged to think about jobs which are practical in our society such as police officer, firefighter,doctor,lawyer, a teacher or even the next president, a typical dream of a child. Then, in High school we are under pressure to choose a career because that would be required for the major in college. As a child who didn't have any dreams, it made it more difficult to come up with such dreams. I was like that even when I was still a kiddo,I would rather choose such spontaneous plans and never think of possible negative results. It all change when the society and the reality hits me, they urge me to make plans and of course to figure it out. People constantly ask us, ``Did you figure it out? What’s your plan? Did you come up with something interesting? The pressure on all of us is huge indeed.

This pressure rises in college because, once you’ve chosen a major, everyone wants to know what you are going to do with it. It’s not new though, people will regularly check on my status and inquire about my future career goals while I majored in communication, for example. People put even more pressure when they hear your major and then conclude such hilarious ideas. This causes anxiety and tension and it may cause someone to become worn out. I’m in my fourth year right now, but still debating on what career path. There are parts of me that are very strategic, other times that want to crazily take risks,and there are days that I want to be the finest independent woman in the whole world. Yes,it's crazy. I’m not sure what I want to do for the rest of my life, what I’ll choose or don’t even know what will be the next step after choosing the career, not sure and still not ready.

I don’t know your story nor I am aware of how your life is going on, but one thing is for sure. You’re afraid right now, what will happen , how will your life turn into, and confused about things. It’s alright, everything is normal, as a person who has been through the same feeling as you. I’d advise you to go with the flow, and do your best on everything you are into.

It’s okay to not know what you want to do, or to have a plan for a lifelong career. There’s still time, it’s time to explore and be more risky on other options and do as we please. We no longer have to take the usual path after graduating college right after finding a job and immediately take it. There is a method for us to change if we want to. We have a choice to choose and decide on our own well being.

It’s perfectly acceptable and just what I said earlier that it's normal to have no idea what you want to do with the rest of your life. To those people who choose to stay YOLO may have negative stigma on them but at least they are enjoying their own company and their pleasure. There’s nothing wrong with going with the flow and allowing yourself to grow, develop such skills, evolve through time and change for the better result. What is life if you end up missing the best years ,thrilling, crazy memories to look back at once. Live without regrets in life.
