For many of us, we are entering that stage of life which means BIG decisions.
In the next ten years, all of us will be faced with life-changing choices like getting married, buying a house, and having children and honestly, it's a little unbelievable. A few years ago, many of us were trying to figure out what college to go to and were dating someone we swore we would marry. Fast-forward to the present: we're halfway through college or even graduating, and that big unknown is staring us right in the face.
I don't know about you, but I'm not sure what comes next.
The fact that I don't know what my life will become in the next few years doesn't fill me with anxiety and fear. I'll admit, at times it can be a little unnerving, but I know that we're about to strap into the coolest rollercoaster ever and we'll be zooming through the years hardly catching our breaths.
We'll be making those huge decisions in a blink and before we know it, we'll be completely settled whether it's with a family, a partner, or living only for ourselves and I don't know how anyone couldn't get a little thrill of excitement over that.
Entering that third decade of our lives is incredible. Ten years ago, our parents still had every say over what we did, and we thought the biggest problem was acne and the fact that that middle school dweeb checked 'no' to 'will you go out with me?'. Now, look at us.
We can speculate, and we can wonder, and we can plan, but we really don't know what comes next, and that is completely fine. It's not quite time to buckle down completely, so take this opportunity to screw up, to dream, to adventure, and to live. When it comes time to enter that fourth decade of life, I want to look at my life and who is in it and smile because I will know that I took every opportunity and ran with it.
I want to be proud of what I did. We all have a plan of what we want to happen, but honestly, who knows what comes next and I don't know about you, but I can't wait.
