The Woes of an unemployed college graduate.

Disclaimer: This post is not for complaining…

 Now that I have been welcomed to the real world I have come to find that I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Seriously, I feel like I needed to take a course in life decisions.  I know what I really want to do but the thought of actually achieving it kind of scares me. There are a few reasons for this. One, I do not think that many people actually believe that I can do it. Two, sometimes do not feel that I deserve these things that I want to achieve. I just want to make some kind of impact on this world. There are so many talented people that I know that can be making films or writing or designing beautiful homes but they just set it aside as a hobby or say that they will do it in a few years. Why is it so wrong for us to want to pursue our dreams now? Why should we watch others make their lives happen while we just wish for a break or a chance? We are constantly told to be realistic that we need to have the 9 to 5 job with benefits and Social Security. And that is all good and well but what happened to when we were kids and our parents told us that we could do anything we wanted, be whoever we wanted to be? John Lennon sang, “You may say I’m a dreamer,but I’m not the only one.” I know I’m not the only dreamer out there so why are we all letting our dreams fall to the wayside? I guess what I’m saying is that I’m deciding here and now that I will not look back on my life 50 years from now and say I wish I had done this. If I succeed then I know that God had a reason for it and if I fail then at least I can say I tried.
