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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
