Birdie Wanna Do It All!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>If you&#8217;ve heard me talk about my future over the past year, then you&#8217;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&#8217;s no way I could make myself go through like 16 years of school. So, I&#8217;ve settled for being a doctor! I&#8217;ve also wanted to be a writer for years and have a million books I want to write, but I&#8217;m unsure of the time I&#8217;d have if I went through with that. So, I&#8217;ve decided to promise myself medical poetry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But realistically, I can&#8217;t do it all. I don&#8217;t expect myself to do it all. I don&#8217;t hold myself to expectations where I&#8217;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&#8217;t reach one of those things. Sacrificing my passions and happiness to accomplish EVERYTHING would be pretty stupid. I&#8217;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&#8217;m saying that if I myself did that it would be stupid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t write music, but I can always play guitar for a small audience. If there&#8217;s something that I really really want to do, I can make a simpler compromise! Again, I&#8217;m not gonna force myself into a box for my future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;re almost to the end of the year, and we&#8217;re reaching a point of where we&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, enough with the hopecore. Everybody watch Some Assembly Required on Netflix. It&#8217;s a kids show from Canada and I don&#8217;t think Netflix has all the episodes. It&#8217;s really dumb. ByeBye!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve heard me talk about my future over the past year, then you&#8217;ve probably heard a million different plans for my future.
