What do you want to do with your life?
What do you want to do with your life?"What do you want to do with your life?"It's the question we all get asked, especially as we leave school. But for many of us, the answer isn’t clear. When I left school, I didn’t have a clue. I felt pressure to have it figured out, and it made me feel like something was wrong with me. Everyone seemed to be moving forward, choosing careers, and making progress. Meanwhile, I was left wondering what the hell I wanted to do. Growing up, there was this expectation from my family and society that I should have everything figured out early on. My parents worked hard, and I always felt that the same work ethic had to be present in me. People would constantly ask, “What are you going to do with your life?” and every time, I’d feel the pressure of needing to have an answer. Deep down, I was still figuring it out. Was I supposed to follow the traditional route or forge my own path? The weight of those expectations made me feel like I was constantly letting people down, even though I was still on my own journey of discovery.
