I have to do something...

It's crazy how life passes you by without even knowing it. It goes by so fast it's pretty suprising when people ask you, "so whathave you done these past years?", or "what are you planning for the future?"I usually think back to the question, " what have I done these pastyears?" and to be honest to everybody who's reading this I haven't done anything to my own advantage. Then sometimes I say no wait I havedone something, but not everything. I usually just sit there and let lifepass me by, and what am I doing while i'm just sitting there?, Well nothing pretty much. I sometimes think I have to do something before I get older,and not be able to enjoy myself as much. I'm 16 about to turn 17, and I guessI have to grow up now, and stop letting my life pass by like if I didn'tcare about it. people ask me all the time what I want to be when I grow up, or if i'm going to college. The thing is yeah I know what I wantto be and all and I want to help the poor I want want to be a social worker, butsee I can have a plan and everything, but what makes me think that that plan isn't going to change? Maybe it is or maybe its not. Whatever it might beit's all going to depend wheather i like it or not. Just like Ricky <3 told me, and I quote, "not everything you plan is going to happen, unfortunately."I used to think he was just saying that to be a jerk, butno he's rightHe wasn't saying it to be mean or anything. I mean I want to be a musician,asocial worker, an artist and everything, but in this world, I belive, you can only be one, unless you want to spend your entire life in school. I guess I have to look into things closely before choosing what i'm going to be doing for the rest of my life.For now, I have to enjoy life, love, friends, and other things before it's to late. :]

Hi there...thanks for the comment on my blog.

Thats pretty interesting. I have the same problem at times: Like I want to do everything. I want to be a singer, songwriter, musical artist; a psychologist; a mathematician ; a poet and a writer. and you know what, fuck it, I am all those things... to a certain degree.

well, I'm studying psychology and maths which is fun. I write music, poems and am in the process of writing a book. ok ...I'm not known for any of it yet. But I'm living the dream at the moment. Maybe one day I'll pick one thing, maybe I won't. Maybe I will just be professional at all those. it doesn't really matter.

cause you're right. the best thing to do is enjoy life now and ride with it. Love and make friends.

btw. I lived in texas for a while a few years ago...amazing place, love it. would definitely go back. I have family that live there.

its not about picking one thing or another to do with your life, its about what kind of person you are and how much you appreciate life or not. its about understanding what true happiness feels like and going out to find it within yourself and never letting it go. Its about wanting to be a good person, and knowing what good really means. Its about loving life and taking care of it and using your life to be happy, the happiness that doesn't fade away or get old, but the one that gives you peace and doesn't leave you confused but gives you the answers.
its about using your talents, your passions for something bigger than yourself. Its about leaving a mark where you made this world a better place and not destroying it.
I love you Tania...
