Where I Am And Where I’m Headed (#167)

I think it’s easy to stress about the future. I could go nuts thinking about all the possible outcomes and what exactly I have to do to get there. There should be time and space for planning ahead but learning to let go of expectations is something I’m still working on.

I don’t have to have life figured out by 23 and that shouldn’t be my expectation. If I truly am going to be patient with my process then I need to be okay with embracing the unknown on my journey from where I am to where I’m headed.
