    Yeah yeah
    I already know all of that, but this listed is all who I am. What do I do with it?
    Where is there a place I can go for at least a half hour to find out where I want to go, be, see and do?
    I’m only 18. Now what? God, I have so many questions for you when we meet again up there, where ever you are. The majors offered at the college here don’t suffice with what I think I will do. None appeal to me. I need a miracle.
    I see others around me, moving forward but I don’t know what to do with myself. Push forward? How?
    They have it together, it seems but I know it’s not true. I see masks and I still see the faces behind them. I let others put before me what they want to. I don’t judge, as much as I possibly can. I let people tell me who they are. What they present what they even tell me “in confidence.” But, this isn’t going to get me ahead in life. I just need to know what God has in store for me so that way I know which major to choose and if I’m going to be a house wife with a degree in something or a mom who sees her kids in the morning, not all day but when I get home from work or such its 6pm. Not what I want. Maybe I don’t even want a degree. If I told my parents that I didn’t want one they’d get pissed that I wasted their money on my first semester. I’m very good at opening up. I need someone to talk to. Someone who has lived a while and knows what I can choose and what I shouldn’t as well. Maybe I’ll visit a nursing home. But they don’t understand the world we live in today. What I mean is they didn’t grow up with the same back ground or electronics within their home, or even father and mother. I am exclusive, unique and undoubtedly rare. Now what do I do with this “rareness” ? I’m in love with a boy only a year older that my parents don’t approve of. Yet still we press on. Their excuse for not liking him? He’s not as much of a Christian as I am. Does that matter? He is a Christian and treats me as I ought to be as a woman of God and such. He hasn’t broken a promise. But what kind of promises can a 19 year old make at such a time in his life you may be wondering? A significant few are :To not hurt me, leave me or let me down. Those are almost impossible to do. He hasn’t failed once. He’s given me his heart and in exchange I gave mine. What is it that I’m missing that my parents see in him that won’t suffice? I’m digressing. I just want to know what to do with all of my inner, outer and present being. I shiver in the cold just like everyone else, but I’m looking for a heat source and how to improve it so that no one else has to shiver. But I lack the knowledge to do so. Is that why I am at a college? But wait I’m in a college, as I had mentioned before, whose majors offered don’t seem to suffice. The boy I mentioned before is moving half way across the country to live near me. He’s dropping all his family, friends and unimportant things, just to be near me. If I could do the same for him, like if it was possible for me to, I would. But I’m tied by my parents and a loan that would be wasted if I dropped out of college for him. That would be dumb. We decided he’d come to me, and I’d get a degree. But if I am planning on getting married to this man, having children, then what do I do with a degree? I’m not letting a day care take care of my children. I want to raise them. So here I sit. Cross roads. You probably get asked this a lot but, Any advice?
