That's how I feel as well, there are so many external things that can happen to alter how you change, and that's something you can't normally predict or plan for. Or you could change whatever plan you have set forth due to new interests arising, it's easy enough to change, it's hard to say how.
Are you saying then that it's best we be certain in ourselves so that we can handle change reasonably? If so, would you say you were certain in yourself as a 10 year old, ready to move on to any sort of change?
Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. 10 year old me wasn't aware of all the changes happening, but always excited and looking forward to moving up in school and reaching middle school, and things like that.
So what about now? Are you excited for any kind of change?
I'm excited, but also increasingly nervous. The next big change that I can foresee is moving away from college and working at my next internship, which should be in a couple of months.
Should be, but doesn't have to be! I'm just saying, don't anticipate anything.
