What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

Seriously, what do I do?

What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

Sometimes I sit back, and I take a deep look at life and all it involves. Everyone around seems to know their place in life. While I am looking at them thinking they have their lives together, they are probably looking at me thinking the same thing - that I have it all together. We're all in this journey together, the journey of life. Sounds cliche I know, but oh so true.

All the unknown captures me in every part of life. Up until this year, I thought I knew what I wanted in life. I wanted to be a psychology major at Charleston Southern University, I was in a relationship that I thought was leading me to a future, I had more friends, and a family who had my back. All of this changed when I went to Charleston Southern.

I am still a psychology major, but now my life has changed in a way that I no longer know the direction I am headed. I started working at a veterinarian hospital, and I love my job with everything I have. I have always had two passions: children and animals. Now, I find myself torn between becoming a vet and becoming a child psychologist. The Lord has a funny way of opening up possibilities. All the while, I am minoring in Christian Studies trying to explore my faith and the potential options I have there. Next, the Lord blessed me by allowing my relationship to end. The toxicity of it all and the end showed me that I deserve better and the Lord has different plans. The Lord knows my biggest goal in life is to have a family, and I still believe He will send me someone someday. In the meantime, I am meant to trust in Him.

Almost everything has changed in my life, some for the better and some for the worst. All in all, I am learning every day that it is okay not to know what to do. I am never going to know the answer to everything in my life, and neither will you. You aren't going to always know your path, your relationship, every friendship you have or where you will be in 5 years, and that's okay. Learning to be patient and learning to be okay and trust in God when you don't know what to do, are some of the most valuable lessons you will ever learn in your lifetime. I am still learning every day and all I know is that God leads me wherever I go. He doesn't promise the road to be an easy one, but He does promise to be there, and I know that that is enough.

All in all, take some time to get to know God. He might just help you get to know yourself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
