Have you ever gotten into a rut. One that just makes you feel like "what am I doing with my life?" I go in and out of them from time to time and I've come to the realization that I spend too much time focused on what I think that other people think that I should do, or wishing that circumstances were different so that I could have what I wanted or be who I wanted to be. But, I've gotten to a place that is so peaceful because while I still value others opinions, I realize that I have to do what is right for me and go where I feel God leads me. I'm starting to use what I have to do things that I can and appreciate where I am in life physically, emotionally, financially and live within my means but still live it to the fullest. Everything is just a matter of perspective and by focusing on the positive I can truly be happy even despite all the bad that may come.

25 Things To Do Before You Turn 25 | Thought Catalog
25 Things To Do Before You Turn 25 | Thought Catalog
I have my own list of things to do before 25. Things like learn to swim (I know should have done this eons ago) and go zip lining. A lot of adventurous things that will force me to do something out of my comfort zone and remind myself to really live. But I like this list on the link. It addresses many real world issues that I've found myself overcoming. Like how after undergrad I had no jobs lined up and I truly felt like I was scammed. Then out of fear and anxiety enrolled in a masters program because i didn't want to be talked about like "oh she hadso much ppotential and she's wasting it at a part time job" etc. I've forgiven my parents for things that I know now that they meant well. They are human. And although they often times don't understand my needs they love me and try to help in the way they know.
Most of the things in this article truly relate to growing up and allowing yourself to really live. Not just a thrill here and there but free your mind and open yourself to the real possibilities of life that you can only see with an open heart and open mind. Unforgiveness, guilt, regret, and hatred will only ruin your life. Its time to shed all the burdens of the past and be who you want to be. Be true to yourself and live with no regrets.
This is my goal.
