I think I'm going through an early-life crisis.
I was watching a documentary about these boys who were going through intense traning sessions and auditions to be a part of a boy band. All of them were younger than me, but they were so sure of what they wanted to do in life. One of the boys said that he didn't even need a home. He just needed a place to rest his head and a place to practice dancing and singing. I can't remember the last time I've wanted to become something that badly. I watched another documentary about a Korean soccer player who knew that his dream was to play on the Korean team ever since he was 8. He achieved this dream, played impeccably well during the World Cup, and he now plays on Manchester United.
I've read books and articles on following your dream and your passion, but what do you do when you don't have a dream?
Do I just try out anything and everything? But our resources, especially time, is limited...painfully limited.
I know what I don't want to do...is that a good start?
I know that I have a purpose in this world, just like everyone else. I know that I exist for a reason. I know that I will make history, just like everyone else. ( I believe that everyone makes history in one way or another, small or big.)... but I get so impatient whenever I read stories about my classmates or other people my age who are already doing great things for the community.
Sorry for just rambling on and on, but it's coming straight from my heart.
With love, faith and hope,
SW

I could have written this. I have a much easier time thinking of things I don't want to do...I guess we just need to hope we'll stumble onto something and find our passion there.
