Lately I've been finding myself even more and more confused about the future. Its almost as if the future becomes less certain as i get closer to graduation. Well, thats not entirely true, 2002 was forever ago (literally too). But this weekend when Josh asked me what I could see myself doing when I grow up, it quickly turned into a violent argument. I mean, what couldn't i see myself doing? Attorney? entrepreneur? Homeless person? i feel like in todays ADHD world, everyone i know is on the fast track to twenty-something. I could see myself blowing it all. I could see myself wondering for the rest of my life about what i want to do with the rest of my life. I mean I want a career thats genuinely rewarding, but with wealth, and status. I love being known. Known enough to be understood.. without having to prove myself. I need a career/title that will eliminate the need for said dirty work.

And I need money. I wanna say its not important but high school was over a loooong time ago. Squeezing by on maxed out credit cards leaves me with a very unfamiliar feeling. We never knew what it was like to worry about money growing up, im certain this isn't something i would like to get used to.

And time. I need time. Time for me. Time for the people wanting to invade my me time (and rightly so because i will love these people). so i need some damn recreation. But wealthy businesspeople and 120$/HR Attourneys can't afford recreation, can they?

Probably most important, inventiveness, because thats what really makes who i am.. I mean please just give me a solutionless problem to solve and let me make it happen. i say i hate it but it always pays off in the end, and generously. So I need a career that moves marginally faster that i do. i need independence, and room to grow. But I need routine, not monotony. I need wisdom not boredom. I want a career that intertwines with my personal life, like a job working with music. Someone told me on thanksgiving, "..Find a job that you want to think about after 5pm"

gotta be origional. I will never own/drive a ford taurus. not even a rental.

I wanna know i'm doing something that makes this world a better place to live in. Which i guess is really impossible because that can get so opinionated so fast. But i really do admire humanitarian ideals, despite my fits of selfish iscolation...

i guess this is the last thing. but really its like a million more things. i need a sense of community. I need to belong to something

Now.. as far as finding my niche in this madness..
