Lately, I have been thinking about the future… more specifically, my future. I believe this all started when I decided to apply for graduate school. After narrowing down the field of possible Master degrees to public health and social work, I began to narrow down my choices for locations. New York? California? Chicago? Montreal? Why not just pack up my entire life and move to Korea? After careful consideration, much reflection, and deep soul searching, I began the application process. Now, if only I could bring myself to work on my personal statement.
Something about this frightens me. I am not quite sure what it is, exactly, but some little voice inside tells me that my uncertain life path is causing this hindrance. What is it about the future that is causing me to freeze and put my own life on hold? Shouldn’t I be excited about this bold life choice? I know my parents are… But why am I so scared? To these questions, I have no answer… but if something comes to mind, I will let you know.
