Slow it down.

I'm the kind of person that wants to do everything now. 

The saying, take it a day at a time, is really hard for me. I look to the future a lot, even when I was a kid. I thought being a grown up looked so cool, and I had so many plans for the future.

I recently learned that I can't do everything now; sometimes it's just not possible. I think with being out of school and not having a set schedule has set me into kind of a tail spin. The thoughts and questions run through my head like crazy, and there's so many things I want to try. Should I go to grad school? What for? Would I like that? What if I don't? I want to travel. Where should I go? Can I plan a vacation for this amount of money? Do I like my job? How long will I stay there? Should I buy a house, apartment, townhouse, car?????

Needless to say, it can be a bit stressful. Something happened recently that made me step back and go okay. I can't do some things right at this moment. I can live in the moment,  I can make plans, but I can't do everything I want to do right this second. And that's okay. I'm young; I need to save some stuff for the rest of my life.

It's for my brain to shift into this thinking though. I really do have to repeat the phrase, take it one day at a time, to myself. There's so many things I want to do, but I need to learn that there's plenty of time to do them all, I just have to be patient. :)

  1. "I need to save some stuff for the rest of my life." I like that part a lot. Remember that you've already accomplished so much – more than a lot of people your age. :)
