“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe

Taking risk and sticking to it.
Life is all about choices. We make choices every minute of everyday. From what you want to wear in the morning all the way to what you want to do with your life. My problem that I have, is allowing myself to have too many choices. I don't like commitment in anything, so therefor I do everything. I'm so scared that once I get tied down, Ill look back on my life and regret the decisions I've made. The past two years of my life I have tried to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I've gone from neuro- oncology, to nutrition, to photography. While everything interest me, I have always had a love for the arts. However, photography is a type of art that you either make it or break it. Recently, I applied to NYC internship for photography. I was nervous about getting the job. Only about ten percent of all applicants receive an invitation to join. I received my invitation yesterday. I was beyond thrilled. But once again, I got the fear of just sticking to one thing. This is a large opportunity but I only need to take it if this is what I want to do. I have finally decided to take the risk. Yes, there is a fifty percent chance that I am going to regret it. But there is also another fifty percent chance that I could be really happy. And when you think about it, that's what all the photographers have to do in order to make it. For once in my life I am going after what I really want. And who cares if it doesn't work out, at least I tried.

You took the words right out of my mouth on this subject. I feel the exact same way. Afraid to commit to one single thing for an extended period of time. No clue what I want to do in life. But im also a risk-taker.
ReplyDeleteI glad you took that risk because you never know until you try it and the worst part is not knowing and as you said its a great opportunity and you were in that 10 percent that got chosen
ReplyDeleteHey good luck to ya, this sounds like a great opportunity, it'd be a shame to waste it.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am very happy for you. Not only is this a great opportunity, but you are also pushing yourself in new and challenging ways. So, what does this choice mean for you? When do your leave? What will you do in the mean time to prepare?
