It's gonna be a wordy one today folks. Love me through it, mmkay?
All this year, as well as last year, I've worried about career choices. It seemed everyone around me knew what they wanted to do, what they wanted to go to school for, 100%, black and white, no questions asked. I struggled with that. I had (and often still don't have) NO clue what I'd end up doing. My teachers and leaders have drilled into me from an early age that an education is essential, and I know that, but you know what? I think it's okay not to have everything planned out. This is what I want for my life:

I think it's okay not to have everything planned out. This is what I want for my life:
I want to live. Not exist.
I want to have fun. While yes, working hard is really important, I really do believe you can have fun with anything if you try.
I want to develop new talents and work on the ones I've been given.
I want to graduate from University, and find something I love to do, and do it.
I want to travel. I want to experience new things.
Eventually, I want to find someone that I want to be with forever. I want to be the one that takes his world apart, turns it upside down, and then puts it back together again, but better.
I want to marry that person in the Temple.
I want to have a family. I want to be a mom. I want to teach my kids to see wonder in the world. I want to show them that there are amazing things out there, despite the bad. I want to teach them to be good.
I want to love everyone around me. I want to help people. I want to share my experiences.
I want to be comfortable with who I am and who I'm supposed to be.
So no, I may not have my life "figured out" like everyone else, but I know the direction I want to be going. Life Plans don't have to just be for a career. I think this is good enough for me.
