When I grow up…

Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was a kid I dreamed of being an actress, a fashion designer, a teacher, an artist, a producer and more… I had ideas and dreams and I flitted from one idea to the next every 8 minutes or so. I took classes in fashion, acting, engineering, business, communications, public relations and more… I kept looking for my niche. It turns out I can’t find my niche, I’m pretty good at a whole slew of different things but none of them stick. I get bored as soon as I’ve mastered whatever I needed to learn, and then I start itching to move on. I think my main problem is I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up!

The future may not be mine to see but I still wouldn’t mind knowing which direction I should take, what’s going to interest me for years to come. When I look down my path five years from now I have no idea what kind of job I’ll have (I am however fairly certain I’m working), I don’t know which field I want to be in… I’m not even sure what city I’m living in! I know this is one of those “you have the answers” kind of conundrums but I find myself still not having any clue as to where I’m landing.

Whatever will be, will be… and so I’m not going to get too worked up about this all and let myself go where the tide takes me. I’m sure I’ll be successful in whatever opportunity comes my way next… I just have this (perhaps irrational) hope that one day I’ll wake up with a vision or something that will explain my purpose. I feel like I’m meant for something bigger than toiling away at a desk all day – then again I don’t know many people who feel like that’s what they’re meant to do with their lives.
