Dear July,
The next right thing probably isn't what you think it's going to be. The next step you take might be sideways instead of forwards. The next thing you try might lead you somewhere you didn't consider. That's how it went four year ago. I was so ready to be done with high school and leave for NYU. Long story short, I didn't go. People chose to step in and make that dream really hard for me and it really hurt knowing that people didn't believe in me or want the same things for me that I wanted. So I applied to other unis and found a new dream right in front of me.
Within a year my life was in a completely different place and I was glad that I had chosen to stay with my family. And looking at where the world is at right now, I'm glad I'm not in New York.
I guess my point is that you don't know exactly what you need in life because there will be bends in the road that you don't plan for. There will be things that aren't on your to do list that end up becoming some of the most defining points of you life. So let go of your fear of the unknown, becuase a plan doesn't make it clearer or easier, it just gives your something to hide behind and disconnect from. Stop planning and start doing. Start with one step. The next one will follow after.
Until another day,
E.
