Highlights of my life
My Emotions Through Highlights of my Life
Anyone else needs to set ‘don’t think too much’ as a daily reminder? I do. When I think about the major highlights of my life, I would start with my exchange experience. For so many years I knew that being an exchange student was one thing I have always wanted. The way it would give me the change to test myself if I am fit for my dream life, live in an international environment, to see what it is like to live, be a student in a different place than I am used to. But when the time came to actually do this, my thoughts made me hesitate and take a step back from what I dreamed of. I started to overthink about every little detail, and I got the feeling of it was getting harder to get out of my comfort zone, even that it was the one thing I wanted most. So, putting too much thought on everything, making things harder for myself was very present. It almost made me took my application back, which little did I know it would cause me to miss the best experience of my life.
So, my feelings were full of telling myself let things be, not think too much about every detail, not make things harder than they are, so I could enjoy whatever was happening. But when I think about which emotion was also present at my highlights, the feeling of desire to explore was also very present. Even though overthinking and constantly stressing looked like they overshadow everything else, my main motivation was always my need of explore. A year ago, I decided to have an exchange semester and explored places, people, cultures. And I welcomed everything that came with it good or bad, I was doing what I wanted. Now I am in state where I can call this as a turning point as well. I am a student at my last year and now it is time for me to explore what I actually want to do with my life. The part of my life where I knew what is going to happen next is about to end with graduating. So, it is time for me to see what I actually want to do in my life next, what I love, what I am good at, where I want to be. So, I will be busy exploring myself and desires in life so I can give an answer to these questions. How were you feeling at the turning points of your life?
