Not the final straw

My mom tells me this often
Remember, whatever you choose to do next, is just the next step...you don't have to do it for the rest of your life.

I need to keep reminding myself of this. I met with my old internship supervisor today just to TALK to someone and she also said that. Even though I don't think I should lose sight of what I would like to do, that doesn't mean I should rule out other opportunities that may come my way if they will give me good experience and help me work towards the end goal. (I don't even know what the end goal is yet ahaha so even more of a reason to test out different things)

It's only been 4 weeks since I get back, and I'm just feeling like the transition period between Korea and coming home is coming to an end. I'm glad I didn't make any sudden decisions and now it's time to think clearly about what I want, what I don't want, what's the smartest/best decision for me at this time, etc. And remember - the next step is only the next step. And I'm still only 22...

  1. I love the quote that your mother gave you, and this is also a very nice post :)

    I recently just came back from Paris and i'm still in the process of figuring myself out; what i want to do and what i don't need in life. it has helped dearly.

    PS: i enjoy your blog and your writings!

  2. Hi...do I know you? I think I do right? Lately my memory has been horrible...

    Anyway, how long were you in Paris? I was talking with my friend the other day and it was interesting, he said what is unique about our generation is that we're confused...lol I believe it. we grew up between two different times...on one side the previous generations taught us that family, and love = happiness...most of our childhood we didn't have all the technology we have today...and the generation after us did grow up with it. we're stuck in limbo...do we want stability and all that that comes from the generations before us, or do we want to pursue our true passions...floating along till we find it, self indulged, etc etc.

    sorry if that doesn't make any sense i'm burnt out right now lol
