"Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure beats the hell out of never trying."
--Grey's Anatomy
Momma sent me a card with this on the front. I framed it and looked at it every day. I used to live by it. It no longer seems true or relevant to me.
My dream was to become a veterinarian. I can't pass chemistry to save my life, so my dreams were already broken in the first two weeks of the 'rest of my life'. I have no idea what I want to do with myself now. In my case, I wish I never would have tried. I know wishing is not good for much, but chemistry was too big of a waste. I could have listened to what everyone told me and just started out in Journalism. I have always been a firm believer that if you want something bad enough, you can get it no matter what. This is either false, or I did not want to be a veterinarian bad enough.
At this point, I just feel like I'm settling. I'm settling for something I know I'm good at, something that will give me the resources to have a successful career. I have lost my passion, and I'm not sure where to find it now.
I hope this is only a phase, because right now this is devastating.

Hi! I really enjoy your blog. I am an English student living in South Africa and I really identified with this post.
It was really tough to realise what it was that I actually WANTED. Not what I thought I should do. For me, I looked to my passions and talents and decided to study English. I do all the Journalistic course plus literature clourses and am SO glad I gave it a shot. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Best of luck while you decide if Journalism is for you!
@albeana: Thank you so much. Seeing that people have faith in me sometimes helps me see the faith I have in myself.
@Random Hiccups: South Africa! That must be really amazing! I hope I realize that writing is what I really want to do, as you have. Good luck with everything!
