What I Want

So, it has been said that the college years are about not only getting an education, but also about finding out what you want to do with your life, what you want from it, et cetera.

Up until today, I thought I knew.

Honestly, I hadn't dwelt on it much. I kinda was the kid who wanted to do everything. I wanted to be a swordsman (check), I wanted to be a singer (check), I wanted to write books (sort-of check). Being a swordsman isn't exactly a practical job in this day and age. I was rejected from the Townsend School of Music, so being a professionally-trained musician doesn't seem likely. After participating in NaNo, I think that I want to write a book, but...it's freakin' hard.

But just knowing what job you want isn't enough. There is much more to life than just your job. What do I want in a relationship, what do I want out of my career, et cetera and on and on and on.

And at this point, I just don't know. So, I've sort of decided that that's what I want to do this semester. I want to work on figuring out what I want out of a lot of things. I feel like that will be the first step in the right direction. To what is an even bigger issue, and one that won't be answered anytime soon.

So, for now...that's what's happening.
