Nice journal. It really spoke to me with the saturation I find myself in at the moment. I see myself at a crossroads and I really need to push myself in the direction I want to go down. I find myself not putting enough into what I want as in job. I like to draw and do graphic design stuff but hardly set time to pursue the goal of being a graphic designer/illustrator. I am seeing that things have to change in my life. I hope I can make things happen.

At the moment, I am at a retail job that just is not satisfying.

Well said. I love the last part of journal.

I end up in Economics instead of Fine Art, which is my dream since a kid. I used to be very angry and lost, and I chose to give up, neglected my studies during my first and second year. But I cannot deny that Economics, and also Buddhism (I only start learning it in University) made up my thinking today. No matter where you are, who you are, what you are, if you don't happy with your current situation, you'll never be happy even you get what you want. Because we always want something more. Now I love my life of imperfection.

You are so right about this :love: The different choices you make will lead to different results, and maybe it wasn't what you wanted, but in the end, there's always something great that exists down that path you chose. This is really inspiring, so thank you. :huggle:

Thx for stating your opinion. I guess, you are right. Only thing is.... there are people like me, who don't know what they want and those people search for a long time for the right thing, maybe their whole life. Anyway, we definitely should live by the quote from Deepak Sopra or just by "Carpe diem". :)

I study architecture too, now I'm in my junior year and hopefully I can graduate next year. I also doubt whether I chose the right faculty, because I don't feel happy in architecture. But you know, studying architecture is really hard and if you think about how much you've spent for it (especially time, energy, and money) it would be a waste if you don't be an architect. I still haven't thought of being an architect someday though, can't imagine that I have to go through those sleepless nights again :'(. Sometimes I just want to throw away my pride and just be a normal employee or some other job as long as it's not an architect. I had my pride as one of top students when I was in school, but it didn't help me go through hard days in college. What is pride anyway if you feel burdened by your job? Your journal makes me put a more thought about it. Thank you. :hug:

Thank you so much for writing this. Even if your English isn't the best, I still feel that I understand what you're trying to say. Lately I've been having a lot of doubt about what I will do in the future (picking classes next year in school, college, job, etc) and a lot of people tell me that what I want to do is going to be very difficult so I've gotten a little discouraged. But now I have a little more confidence that what I want to do, even if it's not the job that pays the most or has the most benefits, is going to be good for me if I work hard to succeed. Like Nanjung110 said, your journal entry is making me think even more about what I want in the future.

Also, that quote is one of my favorites. Again, thank you. :hug:
