“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” - Marcus Aurelius
I’ve been thinking a lot about the future lately. Not the whole high tech and gadgets kind of future, but my future. I don’t really know what I want to do with my life, and that scares me. I’ve always been indecisive, even with minor things like deciding what to order at a restaurant. When all my friends were choosing career paths at the end of high school I was lost and confused, and that hasn’t changed much, despite the many years I’ve spent at university.
I get annoyed when people ask me what I want to do with my life because I have no answer. It’s not their fault though. It’s a perfectly reasonable question, but I think I’m supposed to possess some vague idea about where I want to be in life at the age of 22. I’ve always wanted to do something with music, but right now that doesn’t sound very practical. I don’t think I’m talented enough to make a successful career out of it, not at the moment anyway. And my grandma doesn’t even think it’s a real career, which she let me know while laughing hilariously at the idea.
I love my grandma heaps but I think she’s a little old fashioned, hehe.
There are just so many things that I want to do with my life, and it seems a real shame to limit myself to one thing. How do people know what to do with their lives? How did you guys decide what you wanted to do? I really envy all those people who have always known what they wanted to do in life. My interests are constantly changing. I guess it might be useful to make a list like all the popular magazines suggest when you’re confused, hehe. I hope I figure something out.
Anyway I’ve been addicted to Puzzle Pirates lately. It’s a cute little MMORPG set in a pirate world. It’s centered around mini puzzles, hence the title of the game. I created a pirate a while ago, but it expired due to inactivity. I think your account expires after a month, but I’m not too sure about that. Things have changed quite a bit since then. There’s a lot more to do and learn. I’m still finding my way around, but it’s been heaps of fun so far.
