But he first asked me "What is your passion?" I could not answer him. What was I passionate about? What is this one thing that I like the most? I don't know, and I later on (before sleeping) realized how frustrating not knowing what it is. I answered, "I am in the process of finding it out." Then he asked, "Why do you want to go to law school" and I said "When I was in high school, I really wanted to become a lawyer, but when I got into college wala na"
He then narrated how he got into law school, saying his parents pushed him. It was because of the prestige of the profession that his parents wanted him to be a lawyer. And while he was studying, he then found that it was really his passion.
Before he left, he told me that I need to know what I am passionate about and that in the end, whatever I do should make me happy.
I do envy my friends who know now what they want in life. And it gets horribly frustrating and depressing when people ask if I have a job or what are my plans. When I say, "I don't know yet", they give me this "Are you f-ing serious?!" look. Lately, I have been asking myself if I went to the right school and took the right course. I did enjoy being an EU major, but I have no concrete plans on what I want to do with my life.
Oh LIFE, why so cruel and mysterious? :|
I'm finding it out now too. High five. I told you right, we need to sort out our wants before we travel.
ReplyDeleteIt would all turn out for the best. Trust me. Love you forever.
