I’m back. I’m sorry I’ve been absent for so long. I’ll try to be better about posting on this blog. I’ve been thinking a lot about the plans people make. Everyone has their career choice in mind, or at least an idea. I’m graduating in the spring and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I think the issue isn’t what I’m going to do though. I think the issues lies within the planning. I have friends that work non-stop, striving for the chance to become what they’ve always dreamt about becoming. A lot of them, however, don’t think about the cost of what they’re chasing after. They only see the education they need to acquire and then assume they will fall into that profession. However, they don’t see the cost of things. Do they think about the cost of school up to that point? Do they think about the cost of all the supplies they will need, or insurance for what they are doing? Of course not, because to them, the dream is to just become rich or famous. They don’t factor in the amount of their lives they are giving up to be able to be rich or be famous. I think that one should give up only as much of their life as necessary and nothing more. Instead, that person or people should spend their life, living. What’s the point of living when you’re young if you spend the entire time caught up in studying or staying at a temporary job before you enter into your career? Why put so much effort into staying young when you yourself aren’t willing to live your life when you’re young. Our days are numbered on this earth, so we need to spend them well. Stop worrying about the nonsense of being super wealthy so you can afford five houses. Instead, focus on spending time with loved ones and traveling; making memories. When we look back on life and we stare into the video of our lives, do we really want to watch ourselves breaking our backs for a career, or cramming our heads with useless information? I’m not saying knowledge is pointless, because it’s not. We should acquire as much as we can, but some knowledge isn’t found in books. Some knowledge is found out in the world and if we spend our lives stuck in books, we may miss out on some of the most vital information. Don’t waste your life. Live your life.
