As I leave the confines of teen years, a gaping hole is terrifyingly located next to a pile of treasures.
At the bottom of the hole lies questions. Although it's been said by every young adult, I still have to repeat; there's just so much uncertainty regarding the future. I am constantly worried I will become a mediocre, egocentric designer taking myself too seriously. I certainly never imagined myself pursuing anything other than an engineering or medical degree.
And yet there are great expectations from having already taken so many strides. I have an amazing group of friends who advise me, usually unsuccessfully, against making mistakes. They are the mirrors through which I meerkishly peer at myself. I could not do it without them. You guys know who you are. And, I could not ask for more understanding and generous parents - my best friends.
I don't ever suppose this hole should ever be filled. We need somewhere to seek shelter and somewhere to look ahead. Yes, there will always be an imbalance and imminent danger, but at least there is that.
Always thinking.
