"As told by Ginger..."

what’s next?

Andrew and I were doing some super analyzing of my mind the other night.  Being a wise person (or at least I think so) and having received my bachelor’s in mental health, I have become increasingly self-aware of why I think the way I do, and why I act the way I do.  It’s gotten to the point where I will say, ” I am having anxiety about [this], but I know it’s all in my head and I know I can do [that] to stop it.” And Andrew will look at me and say, “so why are you having anxiety in the first place??? you have it figured out!!!” haha the mind is a funny thing.

So as we are entering into the next big transition in our life and moving across the country, we keep getting the same question, “what are you going to do after your year of service?” Naturally, we have been thinking the same thing.  And I have realized that for me personally, MY (aforementioned) CRAZY MIND HAS ALWAYS looked on to what’s next and missed a lot of the present.

All girls high school: what’s next? college with BOYSSSS

Senior year internship: what’s next? a semester of only 2 credits

Senior year of college: what’s next? WEDDING

Working at Highbridge: what’s next? MOVING TO SD TO WORK FOR AMOR

[Soon to be] working at Amor: what’s next? stay in SD???? move back to the east coast???? grad school??????

I am sick of wishing for things to be over and new things to begin. I am 24 and although still very young, I am ready to find that thing in my life that I am SO PASSIONATE about that no matter what it costs I will do it for the rest of my life.

I AM NOT GOING TO WISH AWAY THE NEXT STAGE OF MY LIFE.
