Hey everyone,
I couldn't decide on a free topic (again), so I decided to write about how I feel about the future. I know it shouldn't be a big worry of mine, and it isn't, but I've been doing some thinking of where I'll be when I'm older, like 17, for example. I was scrolling through my news feed on Facebook, and came across a status from a friend who I know goes through a lot of personal struggles. The status basically said, "Don't think. Because when you think you realize how messed up everything is. You realize you don't know how you got here, or where you're going, and you just don't know what to do anymore."
To me, at first sight, the status sounded kind of depressing, but it actually got me to reflect, and think, "where will I be when I'm older?", or "what will I do in the future?" By the time I turn 17, which I thought about recently, I'll be a senior in school, but that's not all I need to focus on. I know I was put here for a reason, and I haven't found it yet, which I'm sure most of us haven't either. I don't know what's in store for me either, but I want to do great things and experience life with no regrets or worries. I know this post seems kind of relatable to everyone and inspirational, but seeing this status and thinking past it honestly made an impact on me. I shouldn't be thinking (or worried) too much about my future, but I still want to look at my stance, respect myself for where I've gotten and carry on from there, because I've got a lot to see in the world and a lot of living left to do!
Heey Austin, and this post is really interesting. I also think about the future and what I am going to be doing in it. Your friends status is something I can definetly relate to and I hope their personal problems can get easier for them to handle.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I worry about the future all the time. It is something that every man fears.
