The date is March 28th, 2020. It’s a Saturday night. At 9:06pm.
Here I am, a twenty-one, just shy of the brisk age of twenty-two. And I just finished crying in my boyfriends arms because I don't have it all figured out.
I’m out of college, almost one year into a full time job, I have great friends, the first stable income I've ever had, an incredible, other worldly partner that I'm insanely in love with.
I should be content, right? Satisfied? Instead, I feel as though I’m constantly falling short at where I want to be in life
I have all of these big dreams and goals for myself—here, i'll tell you a quick story.
Ever since I was a very little girl I've always had this feeling of purpose. I've always felt like I was supposed to be “somebody” or that I was supposed to be “famous” or hold some sort of platform one day. A platform that I could use for good, more access to help others. Still to this day, I have this burning feeling that I'm meant to have that platform. Which is why I started this company. To help and uplift others.
But I'm afraid that maybe my dreams are just too big and they may not be achieved. Our entire lives people allude to the fact that we should have it all figured out but in reality, will we ever reach an age where we’ve got it all figured out? Probably not.
Right now, I’m trying to be okay with the fact that I'll never have life completely figured out—and that's okay.
I’ll never have it figured out, but as far as my dreams, I’ll keep trying and persisting. And hopefully you’ll see my face somewhere, maybe plastered across screens in Times Square, when I'm changing the world and doing what I love.
