It's okay that I'm afraid that I won't be able to get another job whenever I leave this one.
It's okay that I'm not ready to deal with the idea of going back to the college where I started.
It's okay that I'm worried about my happiness not being durable enough.
It's okay that I don't know when or even if I'll get a college degree.
It's okay that I don't have plans for much past this semester.
I'm not there yet. Life gets bigger but so do I. All I have to do is now. Just because I don't always feel brave, certain, or strong doesn't mean anything in the future is going to be too much for me.

I'm not sure when this blog starting taking the place of my journal, but it has.
Sometimes I don't know whether to keep posts like this unpublished or not. I don't know if they're interesting to other people.

ReplyDeleteSometimes it's in the not knowing that you are more open to the knowing, if you know what I mean. :)
ReplyDeleteI finished a college degree in nursing just because I didn't know what to do with my life. It didn't kill me, and I didn't stay nursing for long (just a few years), but it was very constructive in my personal growth, closeness to God, and preparation for what would happen in the years that followed.
Even if you are not sure about anything, pick the path that looks the most interesting and walk on it awhile.
You must not know that you lend courage.
