finally

i feel like my life is finally falling into place, like things that are supposed to happen are happening. i don't feel so anxious about my future anymore, and my befuddlement as to what i'm going to do with my life has faded. I am still unsure about what I aim to do, but I have a sense of direction now, with a lot of confidence. It doesn't really matter what I do, or even where I go, as long as I'm happy. I know it sounds cliche, but I just made this realization.
The prestige of a college I go to doesn't matter. It's my experience and joy at that college that really counts. For so long, I thought that I HAD to go to Harvard, because everyone told me to. I was fooled into believing that Ivy's were the best, and only the careers of lawyers and doctors mattered, both of which I had no interest in.
Well, none of it is true, and even if it were, I wouldn't care. Now that I think about it, I'd be content as long as I could travel the world, fall in love, and have the financial stability of some luxury in my life. I think that's what everybody looks for in life, to some extent, but so many people get lost in the pursuit of prestige and respect. The job title or degree doesn't earn you those things, though. It's you as a person. Your life, your feelings, and your actions are what earn you the appreciation of others.

There. That's my ramble for the day.
