I find it all but insane that in the space of 3 months, the things that were once so very important become less so. And all of a sudden, things that were not wanted, things that you thought you'd never be ready for, become all you want.
Years ago, I always thought that I didn't want certain things, that they were fine for some, but not for me. I'm just not your average example of an American 20-something. And the pressure to acquire various "trophies", certain finish lines that one must cross, becomes more than one can bare.
But when you're young, you have this image of your future life. You make boundaries you'd never dream of crossing.
It's no longer a pressure, an expectation, a requirement. I have a certain acceptance of what I want. It's ok to want it! It doesn't make me less, it doesn't make me unintelligent. It doesn't mean I've given up, or that I don't have dreams. Dreams can change.
It can't be for anyone else. It's got to be because you really want it.
And I do.
Outstanding.
