Life's Journey

As a recent graduate I have found myself at crossroads in my life. My feelings are that of accomplishment yet confusion. What road do I take now? I have been a student for so long I feel as if I am unable to function without a book under my nose or a pen in my hand. I want to pack my bags and head out to an exotic country or another state in order to experience a new chapter in my life. Yet responsibilities always seem to hold me back. Sure we all have bills up to our eyeballs, and an unfulfilling job with a naggy boss! So where does one begin to make a significant change in their life? I try to stay optimistic in situations such as these. Making a change is always difficult, and unfortunately fear always seems to play a factor. Fear for the unknown, fear of failing, and fear of rejection. I keep reminding myself that fear is only a state of mind. To new graduates or individuals who feel lost in this overworked, over stressed, 'workaholic culture' we exist in today.... remember to always follow your passion! Revive yourself from the monotony of life, no matter how outrageous your dreams may seem. I want to look back on my life one day and say that I lived not existed!
