I like the universe, but she messes with my words

I think I want to join the peace corps. I realized, while mowing my lawn, that I just love helping people. My job is amazing because I get to help someone and watch them benefit and know the joy they receive. Just making someone's day better makes me feel like I have purpose in life.

i agree...i too would love another year to decide what i want to do with my life. i don't feel like jumping into this whole thing blindly... i, for one,would like to travel and see the world before i become bogged down by the weight and troubles of the world. everything is coming to quickly. i don't have time for it to sink in and adjust to all the changes that are being chucked at my head. why must we know what we are going to do right away? what's the big rush? i want to live, really live, before life sets in for good. ya know what i mean?

I want to do peace corps. its always just felt like something that would be good for me, something I could be proud of and that could make me happy. They only let you do it for like 3 years though. I looked into it a lot last year when I was looking at colleges. I'll go with you, most definitly. Itd be amazing. I really want to work in an orphanage somewhere, helping kids that don't get loved even close to enough. What sort of things would you do if you had a year to decide? Follow your heart babe, you'll find the right thing for you even if it isn't what everyone told you to do.

"i've got another month and a half to decide what i'm going to do with my life."

um, matt, you have your WHOLE LIFE to decide what you want to do with your life. right now, i want to do music and theatre. at some point, though, if you want someone to join you in the peace corps, i'll do it. :) i feel exactly the same way you do. there is so much NEED in this world, and i love helping to relieve some of that need. i miss you, so please write to me or something.

and you're not out of time. go to college like you planned, see what it has to offer you there. if you want more, then see about something like the peace corps. you have so much time and so much to give and to take in. don't sell yourself short of a college education right now, cuz maybe it will be for you. but if not, then yea, go for something else. just test everything out. you'll find your way. :)

it's pathetic that i TOLD you i felt like i should comment on here, but i didn't. so, i'm trying to make this whole thing a little less pathetic.
i've loved Everybody's Changing for oh so long because i've thought the lyrics fit my life sexcellently better than any other song.
and i think that was my comment. it was worth pointing out cuz you said they fit your life perfectly, and that weirded me out. just a little.
