I've been so scared lately. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. Yes, I realize that most people don't know what they're doing with their lives. And I know I'm still very young and I have plenty of time to figure it out. But it's a scary feeling nonetheless.
I'm graduating with an Associates degree in May. I don't know what I'm doing after that. I thought that I had it all figured out. I was going to transfer to a nursing school closer to home and become a nurse, find a man, get married, raise a family. But I'm starting to discover that it's a whole lot more complicated than that.
I've never really had a job. I've only ever gone to school. I'm really good at going to school. I'm good at doing homework and studying and writing papers and all that stuff. I don't know if I'll be any good at having a job. I'm starting to think that I'm silly for thinking I want to be a nurse. What do I know about it? Very little. I get scared talking to strangers. I don't know enough to take care of people. Can I really help people? I just don't know. I'm just doubting myself. I know that most of these things can be taught and learned. But I'm scared. I always freak out about things. They usually work out, but it's so hard for me to see that. I just get stuck in the freak out.
I'm second guessing myself about the whole nursing thing. But I don't know what I'd do instead. Like, what else could I major in? Long pause while I think about it. Yeah, I've got nothing.
I really just want to be a wife and mother. But then I feel like I could do so much more. Like what was the point of going to school for the past fifteen years if all I'm going to do is be a wife and mother? I don't want it to be a waste.
I just don't know I don't know I don't know.
