So as I ecstatically finished my class and saw my degree progress bar jump to 100% I celebrated!! But then I realized, "welp.... now what?" For the first time in 25 years, I have no solid plan or direction. With school I always knew what was coming next and what I was working for. Now things are unpredictable and nothing is set in stone. Unfortunately, my degree doesn't print money like an Engineering degree does. Liberal arts and humanities is unfortunately of declining value in our society.
But, I've always been the stoic type and I learned to accept the way things are and to "go with the flow." However, my faith and character is being tested right now. It's difficult to be comfortable with the unknown. It's a new struggle I will have to overcome. I know it won't be easy, but we weren't put on Earth for a vacation. I just hope that what I've learned and the connections I've made with people are strong enough to help me on my way! If you're reading this, chances are you're someone that has had some sort of impact on me. I appreciate all of you in my life who care, and hope all of you know how much I appreciate and care about you all! One thing I realized is it doesn't matter that I have a degree or what career I will have, it matters most who I have around me and who is there for support. Sounds cliche, but those who have been in a rough spot knows how important that statement is. The way I see it is, we are all part of the same journey, we should help each other along as we struggle together. It's a hard thing to remember sometimes, but I really try to! I hope right now that I can survive the rough changes ahead. I won't lie, I'm scared as hell! But I'm just trying not to let fear cripple me. Well thanks for reading! Hope some of you leave some feedback/encouragement because I need it :)
