Plan

I've never been good at planning. At least not the detailed part. This drove my mother crazy when I was younger. She'd ask, "When are you going over to Taylor's house?" and I would say, "Friday." Well, what time? I don't know! Sometime around 3, maybe! I think this suits me well enough, considering I'm an impulse person. I need wiggle room. I don't want everything written down, I want some things to catch me by surprise. However, I have a general idea of what I want for my life. As of right now, my plan is to find something I love, pursue a career in said field, get married, not have kids, and enjoy a life spent with another person whom I love as we spoil ourselves with vacations and adventures. But the issue is obvious: it's too vague! I have a 10 year plan with no 5 year plan. A destination without a map. For many, this is a recipe for failure. I have no real plan for a career or for college, only for how I want my life to be. And how I want my life to be seems a bit childlike, but I don't consider that a bad thing. Childlike is fun, childish is irresponsible. I want to be happy, and if I don't really plan on "settling down", then it's okay to not have a clear plan. I can do something for 15 years, then decide to go back to school and learn something new. Yeah, I know, selfish of me, right? Perhaps it is, but I just want to be happy.
