The Big Realisation Nobody Has
Who do I want to be in life? Dead, homeless or depressed… hopefully not. Unfortunately, that is part of reality and a consideration to be taken when interpreting your own future. However, let’s save the harsh truths of life for another time and pretend we live in a utopian world free from struggle and unsupportive parents. I am just turning 18. Maybe that explains my unsettling start to the essay, being at a frustrating age where nobody has figured out what they’re “supposed” to know. We’re told throughout our teenage years that right after high school we must be certain on our career path, assuming that career is an approved one – doctor or lawyer. Although, I am just now, after experimenting society’s typical lifestyle of high-school, university, good job and house etc., realising that I don’t want that. So, buckle in all conventional sheep, because my goals are shocking ones. I want to travel to a plethora of locations across the globe, including countries and seas! I never want to settle in one place – I know, crazy. Even crazier, I don’t want to live in a house because my plan is to sail on a beautiful catamaran. By 2030 I’d like to call myself a superhero in disguise. I’d like to help people and the environment, and get the chance to immerse myself into cultures and nature whilst doing so. All of this sounds unimaginable to most of society, so let’s start back at the roots of my desires and discuss why I want to do this, and how has who I am or the experiences around me shaped these goals.
