I can’t stop thinking about the future. More like worrying about the future.
I don’t feel ready for the real world. I have no idea what I’m doing now, much less what I’ll be doing after I graduate.
I thought everything would fall into place during my time in university. But the older I get, the less sure I am of anything.
I don’t intend to do more school. It doesn’t feel like the right path for me. I hope to work and write.
There’s a lot I want to do before I die. I’ll try to work full-time while pursuing my passions on the side.
Balancing everything is going to be tricky though. Ultimately, I need to decide what’s important to me.
I’ll make time, make sacrifices.
First things first, I should stop worrying and start working.
Even though money isn’t my biggest priority, it’d be nice to make enough to live a lifestyle I love.

Hiya. This article really touched me. I think your last lines are what everyone strives for. I am currently working a job I love (I’m a carer in an old people’s home), and I am pursuing my passion, writing, on the side. My part time flexi job is as a feature writer for my village magazine. I also of course write my blog posts when I can. And, as you know, I’m in the process of writing my first novel at the minute. Good luck in all that you do – I know you’ll do well! Xx

Given what I’ve seen of your life (via your blog), I have no doubt you’ll find your way. Yes, it’s really hard to know what to do next–especially in today’s world. Still, I believe you’ll know when the time comes, and that you’ll follow your heart!
