An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

To those who don't yet know their passion,

It will be okay. You will find it. Here I am writing all of this advice to you, yet I am hard on myself every day because I am still clueless. It's one of those things where I am surrounded by coworkers who love their jobs and are so happy with where they are at. Those closest to me have been enduring school for years because they have a dream. But, here I am, working a job that I am not in love with and not having a clue where to go next. Sure, I have hobbies but I am not sure if any of those would turn into a passion. Perhaps, we will have to see.

Passion. Something we earn for. Something we base our lives off of. But yet, a day doesn't go by where I have absolutely no idea what my passion is.

No matter how hard I brainstorm, how hard I plan, or how much I put myself out there - nothing has clicked. I want to feel that fire and smile without realizing it simply because I love what I am doing. But what I have come to find, is that there is no age limit to find your dream job, your dream partner, or have your dream house. All of it is still possible and just because you are officially an adult does not mean that you have to have your life all figured out. You don't need to have it all, yet.

In the meantime, I plan on enjoying every moment that I have on this earth. Life is short, such a cliche, but incredibly true. Stop and smell the roses. Be open to new tasks. Take on a project that you would not have had interest in before. Continue your learning anyway possible.

Before you know it, your dream will come true. Slowly the puzzle pieces will fit together and form the big picture you have been waiting to reveal itself for quite some time now.

Sincerely,

Someone trying to find their passion too

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
