Hope

So the other day I got to thinking about my future.
I'm not going to lie, it's been an obsession of mine lately....
I am a few days away from graduating from a great university, with a political science/international relations degree. There's a lot of things I can do with that, yet my fear is that I won't actually enjoy any job I get in this field, or that I will never be good enough, thus frustrated.
My mind wanders off and I end up thinking that the worse thing that could happen would be to live a life without meaning or passion....
I'm afraid to fail.

I swear I have been making myself sick over this issue for quite a while!


I have high expectations for myself. I want to do something in life that has a meaning, a great impact. I want to work and meet people who have done amazing things. 
Right now, I'm in a position where I find myself being in the unknown and being anxious about what the future is going to bring me....


But I've now realized that I cannot control my future. I cannot mold it into what I want it to be. I am not writing a movie script. This is my life.
However, what I can do is work as hard as I can to get as close as I can to my dreams.
Even though these dreams are still blurry right now, even though I don't know what I want exactly, I will try as many things as possible and learn more and more about myself in the process.



There is no such thing as the past, no such thing as the future. There is just right now and what I do with it. 

I am not stuck with a political science degree. I am young, and I can do whatever I want....

(TO BE CONTINUED...)
