I refuse to let this thread go. Reading all the people on here has inspired me and I have a story I can add myself...
I'm intelligent, successful, and always full of life in person... but i've always been lost... and angry... this year I decided to not half ass anything and take every opportunity I could get my hands on.
I took this photo this last Spring Break on a Science Field Study course to the Channel Islands. It was on this trip, at this moment that I found what I wanted to do with my life. Something I could get behind. Being on an island with these ecologists, oceanographers, geologists, and biologists that knew so much more than me opened up my world... I've never had a direction in my life and been working myself to exhaustion getting into the best programs...
The relief I felt on these islands, surrounded by strangers, lost in a world of information i cared about... it changed my worldview. I hated college and studying... but found myself taking more than the max units at colleges and taking more on top of that outside the standard education system because i just wanted to know more, explore my craft, and continue carving the path ahead of me.
This photo brings me back to that place, but it also is representative of the path have carved and yet to alter and change with my journey... and i welcome it... for once.
Dont give up, you can and will make your life the way you desire. You have it in you. You'll make it out feeling alive.
