If you’ve heard me talk about my future over the past year, then you’ve probably heard a million different plans for my future. If it was possible, I would be both a doctor and a lawyer, but there’s no way I could make myself go through like 16 years of school. So, I’ve settled for being a doctor! I’ve also wanted to be a writer for years and have a million books I want to write, but I’m unsure of the time I’d have if I went through with that. So, I’ve decided to promise myself medical poetry!
I also want to live in Oregon with my best friend, and I want to live in a farm, maybe a ranch, maybe just have a very large produce garden. Oh and I wanna have a life in the city! How about life in a beach town? I want it all!
But realistically, I can’t do it all. I don’t expect myself to do it all. I don’t hold myself to expectations where I’d do all this in the one lifetime I have. In my future, I plan to be a doctor and poet and maybe live somewhere with a large garden, but I will not be angry with myself if I don’t reach one of those things. Sacrificing my passions and happiness to accomplish EVERYTHING would be pretty stupid. I’m not saying if that you the reader are stupid if you want to accomplish everything and sacrifice your happiness to get there, but I’m saying that if I myself did that it would be stupid.
I want to open a bakery too! I want to study history as a job! I want to be a musician and produce music! But honestly, I’m not going to do any of those things. I can read up on history if I have free time, and I can bake with my friends. I don’t write music, but I can always play guitar for a small audience. If there’s something that I really really want to do, I can make a simpler compromise! Again, I’m not gonna force myself into a box for my future.
This post for me is a little attempt at like hope. I want all of you to find things you want to do that may seem too big and then try to find some kind of compromise. We’re almost to the end of the year, and we’re reaching a point of where we’re going to be making big steps to our futures. Please, try to have a little peace in this last few weeks. Good luck on your exams, and good luck to your futures.
Okay, enough with the hopecore. Everybody watch Some Assembly Required on Netflix. It’s a kids show from Canada and I don’t think Netflix has all the episodes. It’s really dumb. ByeBye!!
I feel you, I kind of wish I were Barbie, so I could have all the careers I want (and her closet). I have so many dreams and aspirations, and some of them are so vastly different from each other that they don’t even really make sense, but I get you Nick.
Oh I totally get that. Honestly, I think you’re magical enough to do it all
Oh Nick, I love this blog. Whatever you do end up doing in your future just know Sarah Box on the Side of the Road loves you and is so happy for you always!
