Well, I've got two weeks left of undergrad, and I keep having to reassure myself that I know what I'm doing. There comes a point in your life where you don't rely on anyone else to make decisions about your life except yourself. For me, that's right now--when my parents no longer finance my life. So how do I know what's right for me when my parents have been influencing my decisions for the past 22 years?
The answer is, of course, that there's no way to tell for sure. You just have to trust your gut and know that no one else had their life figured out at this age either.
I'm someone that's always striving for more and pushing harder and never settling, and it's hard to grasp the concept that I've settled...for now. I've dreamt of New York City for a long time, and to have closed that door for now wears on me every once in awhile. I'll make it there someday. I know it in my gut. I also know that if I'm going to get a job in my field, I need to be in Nashville. I need to work my way up in Music City, pay cheaper rent, pay off loans, and my path to New York will carve itself out somewhere down the road.
I love Nashville to death, but my soul will always wander to New York until I can be there. Wait for me, please.
