Life as I know it.

I can definitely say that I am in the “caught out there” stage in my life. While in high school and even college I never quite realized the circumstances I was in. Both of those stages in my life served as a protective guard from what some may call the “real world”. That time is my life was about following a somewhat planned route to forming my future career after exiting higher education.

College differed in that I was still young but was allowed an amount of freedom that would groom and prepare me for the life I am living now post graduation. Now that I have completed my four years of college I’ve been introduced to the full dosage of “life” which I can strongly say is a current bittersweet experience. I almost feel stripped and exposed to the world in comparison to being in school protected from the title of technically being on your own. I would compare my reaction to me just putting myself out there in a vulnerable manner in order to take risks and gain all the opportunities life has to offer for me.

The situation comes with its pros and cons like any normal case, but it’s all up to me to decide what actions I will take. Being caught out there to the world to me embodies the meaning of lunging into the impossible and following any dream you’ve had since elementary school. My fear is failing life’s test of achieving whatever it is you have planned. Even in my vulnerability to the world I vow to give all that I can to receive all the greatness I have worked all my life for.
