2017

It's 2017, and I have reached the age where 'teen' is no longer heard. Back when I was younger, I always dreaded that 18 was considered old and by that time I would be so mature. Yet here I am, being twenty but still feeling young and lacking the mind of an actual 20-year-old human being. I was excited once knowing that I'd finish school then I'd be a university student, which I am. The excitement still lingers now, but shadowed by the insecurity and fear of not being good enough. All because I am terrified of the unknown. The future, of what I would become.

It's like falling into the abyss, hoping that there's an end to it despite knowing that it's an abyss-- an endless space. You keep going and going where life takes you. All you are given is a choice. A choice between two paths, and all you are left is the unknown at the end of the paths. For that, you hope that what you choose will do you good.
