I mean, everything from the time I was born up until about last May was laid out for me. I knew that I would go to high school and graduate. I knew that I would then go to college. Although I often stressed about my grades, I wasn't the person who worried if I would actually graduate. I know there are so many people out there who don't know if they'll be able to pass. They don't know if they'll actually graduate, but I wasn't one of those people. I was determined to do whatever it took to get my degree. When I was in school, my primary focus was schoolwork. I was the student who completed every assignment with the intention to get an A. I didn't strive to just pass, I aimed for excellence.
Now, I'm not in school, and my future is an open book. I'm twenty-two years old now. My twenties are already 20% over with. I find myself wondering: where do I want to be in another eight years when I turn thirty? I'm not an overly social person, and it's not easy for me to meet people. The funny thing is I'm not all that shy, either. I just often don't know what to say to people, and when I do, I find myself talking too much and I always feel like I'm annoying people, so I find it easier just not to talk.
Because of this, I live very much inside my head. I love reading. I love thought-provoking books, and I love to learn. My dream in life has always been to publish a novel. I've spent a vast majority of my time since I was nine years old plotting stories and writing stories. Recently I've become fascinated with television scripts, though, and I've thought about how fun it would be to become a screenwriter.
I know the only way I can become a writer is by writing, and unfortunately, my thoughts can't write themselves. In order for something to happen, you need to take action. The universe won't make something happen for you. There are two types of people in this world: the type that sit around and dream, and the type that actually make their dreams a reality. You don't want to be the first type of person, because then you'll grow old and be full of regrets. My worst fear is that's who I'll become if I don't take action soon, and I don't want to be that person.
So, where do I want to be in eight years? I would love to be working on a television set, writing television script. I would also like to have at least one published book. Right now all of that seems so impossible, but I know if I set my mind to it, I can do anything. Wanting to do something isn't enough. However, I need to figure out how I'm going to get there first. If anyone has any insight, please let me know.
