I want to help people. I want to study Psychology. Sounds pretty simple right? WRONG. There are so many different venues I can take, so many different options. So many things sound 'fun'. Not fun in the sense of being easy, or studyless, or not requiring alot of work, but fun in the sense that I would have a passion there, something that I never want to stop learning.
So many people can't wait to get out of school and have a 'real life' or a 'real job' or even just get out of school. But I'm not that person. I could spend the rest of my life in school and learning and love it. I don't mind the papers and exams. They are hard and challenge me, but the prove what I know, and show me what I don't.
I don't want to stop learning or loose this passion inside of me. But how do I do that and not become 'stuck'? I don't know. I guess that's all part of growing up? Maybe? Or is growing up realizing that some things are more important than others? And if so, how do I rank the level of importance? What's important to me may be different from others.
Some rank careers, income, social status, where and how you live, and other things as what's most important. But what about fulfillment, joy, and passion? Yes, everyone will agree that those are important, perhaps even fundamental to a 'good life'. But where do they fall when compared to other factors? Are they more important? Equal? Less? Or do that have to fall hand in hand with your accomplishments?
I don't really know. But what I do know is that I don't want my life to be riled by the mundane, the ordinary, the expected social and economic standards. I want my life to be ruled by passion, joy, and intrigue. My question is, how can I live that, yet pay the bills.
