Lots of people live their life, especially their teenagers years, unsure of what they want to do or be "when they grow up". I'm definitely one of those people. I have no idea what to do with my life. I want to do everything. I want to travel and see the world. But for now, I'm to get my degree and get as job after that, and hope I can find one that I like.
I've never decided on what I've truly wanted to do. I've flitted between the idea of being a teacher, a vet, a lecturer, (it seems I'm really adventurous with my choice of jobs...) and my latest thought is a speech and language therapist. I really have no idea though.
Baz Lurhman wrote in his song "Suncreen", "Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't."
I hope I'm that type of person. Actually, I just I wish I could be.
There's only one thing in my life that I can say I would love to do, that I've always wished I could do, something that I love so much that makes me so happy, but it's just so unpractical and unrealistic and it could never truly happen.
Is there something you really wish you were amazing at? Something you could really succeed, to have an incredible talent?
At the moment, all I want to do is listen, watch and perform in musical theatre. The problem is, I can't sing. Well, I can sing, and I'm okay. But I'm just okay. And being "okay" didn't get anybody anywhere. I know for a fact that I appreciate the music, talent and wonders and musical theatre more thean the majority of people. When someone shcoks you with an amazing voice, or some incredible acting, seeing something spectacular? It stays with me, and my appreciation towards it is overwhelming.
My boyfriend is taking me to London so see a show I want to watch for Christmas. He knows I'm really excited, but I don't think he understands just how much I appreciate it and love him for it.
Apparently everyone is good at something. Everyone has something that is "theirs". Their thing that makes them unique and who they are.
Well, unless my is being wonderfully average at everything, I haven't found mine yet...
For now, I guess I just have to finish my degree and decide on a temporary career, until I have an epiphany about my life.
I hope it comes.
