Life

I'm unsure of what I need to do in life. I have yet to find my purpose, but you know what? I'm 22 years old. I don't think that I need to have it all figured out right now.

I've always lived with a carefree attitude. I believe that you need to make the most of every day. One of my greatest fears, however, is falling into an endless routine where your life becomes static, where it does not progress, where you forget about your dreams and aspirations because that steady income is more comfortable than doing what really makes you happy. I do not want this fate to befall me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bek1y2uiQGA This is a video for Avicii & Nicky Romero's "I Could Be The One." This video is exactly what I'm talking about. You fall into a routine, you lose sight of the endless joys that are within your grasp, and essentially you die as your dreams do. You waited too long to do what you wanted and now you're stuck with responsibilities. I like to think that I have the type of personality that will never let responsibility get in the way of my dreams. I have many plans for myself - mainly traveling, seeing as many of my favourite artists as I can, meeting as many people as I can, doing everything on my bucket list. I'm too free spirited to be kept in an office for the rest of my life.

I do not believe in regret. Everything you do in life has a reason, and if you sit there regretting the things you've done or haven't done you're going to miss out on so much. I don't ever want to look back on my life and say, "there were so many things I could have, should have done while I was young. I really wish I had done everything I wanted to." I want to be the most bruised and weathered old woman when I finally grow up. I want to be the woman that has endless stories of adventures that I went on - like sailing on the sea, swimming with sea turtles, going to Tomorrowland and being so high on life. I want my life to have meaning. I want to experience everything that this world has to offer.

I am appreciative of the things that I have. I've done quite a bit in my 22 years, but I know there is an entire world waiting for me to explore. I have a heart for leaving. My soul is not meant to be held down by routine.

I am the master of my fate. I am free.
