"Who am I, truly?"
"What am I doing with my life?"
"Do I even have a purpose in this world?"
These thoughts flood my mind every time I decide to open my books to study, or when I want to go to bed, or basically any time I'm alone with my overthinking brain.
When I finally have some time to breathe from all my classes, I hear that little voice in my head telling me I'm not good enough and that I'll never get to be the best version of myself, the person I really want to be. This scares me so much, I'll graduate college next year as a Chemical Engineer and although I know what I want to work on, being an adult just scares me SO MUCH.
Today, like every time these scary thoughts invade my mind, I decide to watch a movie. I love watching movies, especially those from the MCU, simply because they always put me in a good mood. Except for Infinity War and Endgame, where although I've seen it more than five times each, I always end up crying. Fuck Endgame for making me feel so many things in three hours. It's probably one of my favorite movies though.
Like I was saying, Marvel movies kind of have a power over me, where they give me hope and make me believe I can really be a person who makes a difference in the world, and help me escape my reality.
Honestly, my life isn't so bad. Sometimes, it's just a bit much for me to handle, so I freak out and go to a dark place. I have friends and family that help me through it, but as I've learned, the thing that completely calms me down is falling asleep while watching Tony Stark in my computer screen.
I wake up as I feel my phone vibrate against my skin and hear the alarm I set for this morning. I squint my eyes as I try to get adjusted to the brightness entering the room and look at my phone.
A notification appears on my lock screen.
"stark Shared a Tweet with You"
My mood instantly changes. I love it when my best friend shares tweets with me, it makes me feel so special because I know she saw this and is thinking of me. I open it without giving it a second thought and I saw my whole life flash before my eyes.

I know exactly where I want to work when I graduate.
Hi!
I don't expect anyone will actually read this story, so if you do, let me know that you did and what you think! I really want to be a better writer. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, English is not my first language and I may make some stupid mistakes every once in a while.
I've been reading stories here in Wattpad for as long as I can remember. I've always wanted to write one and RDJ's announcement of the Footprint Coalition motivated me to start!
