What exactly does the future bring?

If you're like me (Which I highly doubt), you are worried about what the future may bring.

Sometimes, I lay awake at night and think about my life, and what it could become. I could become rich and successful, with many children that are my own. But it could very easily turn sour, as I could become homeless. Due to the way life works, both are a possibility. But with my luck, I doubt the prior. My life has been full of misshaps and horribel tragedies. What exactly could life give me to make everything better?

 

I think this way because time and time again, life has proven to be a horrible and cruel thing.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not being emo in the slightest. I am just speaking the words that we all think sometimes. None of us are capable of knowing what the future will bring. It is a scary fact that we must all come to realize. Anything could really happen to any of us. We could live our lives with nothing, or it could be ended short by a bullet. We just don't know.

 

I don't like thinking this way at all. It scares me, like it would scare any other human being. I just

honestly do not know what the future may bring. Is anyone else scared of the future?

 

Moving on:

I don't know what I am going to do with my life. I am very confused of what I want to do in my future. On one hand, I would really love to become an actor. Acting is my passion, and I love it more than most anything in the entire world. On another hand, my life could very well be horrible because of it, and I may become a homeless man on the streets due to it. It would be a dream come true if I could make a living off of acting, but I am not counting on it.

 

Another thought for my future career is in Law Enforcement. The only problem with this is that

I am not the most physically fit person in the world. I doubt I could pass the training stage of becoming an officer myself. I could start training now (I am turning 16 soon), but I absolutely despise working out. It is tedious and boring to me, and I hate it so much. It makes it a little better if I work out with music, but I still hate it with a passion. The odd thing is, I still want to become an officer. Ever since I was born, I have always wanted to protect people. I have this odd instinct within me to protect anyone who is in danger. Such as a few days ago, when I was a counsler for the freshman at the highschool to show them around the school, I saw this one kid bully another one in our group. The victim was a short and chubby child, like I used to be. The bully was a stereotypical muscle boy, who thinks he could get away with anything he wanted. Now, keep in mind that violence is not in my nature in the slightest. What I had to do was split the two boys apart, and keep telling the bully to leave him alone. The kid would not stop attacking the small chubby boy, so much to the point that I literally had to drag him away from the bully. It was extremely sad, and I wished I could of done more to help the small boy.

 

One more option I have in my mind is to become a Fire Fighter. I would still be able to protect

people who need help, and I would not have to go to college. The only problem with this is that this job is more dangerous than any other option I may have. Fire has always been an extreme joy to me, so I know the ends and outs about them. I would be able to keep myself safe, but death would not be an easy feat to avoid in this job.

 

So I really do not know what I want to do with my life. I have so many options, yet nothing that I kn

ow for certain on. It really does worry me that I am about to graduate from Highschool, and I have not a clue what I want to do with my life. What exactly am I going to do when I turn 18, and I am able to move out. Will I be able to keep an apartment for myself, or will I have to live with my parents for much longer. I hate being with my parents, due to the fact that they over-react way too often, and like to hit me. I hate being around them so much, that I want to move out more than anything. I just simply do not know what to do.

 

I was going to make this a longer post, but Arylett wins. 9,000 characters is almost impossible to

beat

for me. You win ;-;

Juggler

1. Yes, I am afraid of the future. My goal in life is to become a juggler, and since showbiz is a really hard branch to get into I'm afraid what's going to happen if I not make it.

 

2. As I said in the past question, yes, I don't have any idea of what I would want to become besides a juggler. I know that I should have some back-up plan, but my mind is totally set on my goal. I can't see myself doing anything else.

 

3. I'm already working on fulfilling my goal, I'm a member of a circus group that performs kind of regularly, but I'm not paid to do this, it's just a spare-time activity. So I'm getting practice standing on stage and developing a routine there. Also I'm searching for basically every juggling gig that I think that I could have a chance to get. Right now I'm applying for a 6 month job at a holiday resort (which country isn't decided), and I was accepted to come for an audition on Friday. So if I get that job I think that my chances to being able to work "full time" with juggling is pretty big, since it's A LOT easier to get work if you have worked before.

That's why you need to stick together with friends. Life is scary but together beating it to a pulp is easy. Co-operation and friendship will get groups far.

Let me just put it out there that law enforcement is a good job, the pay is by no means incredible but it's not meager, either. The physical part isn't too bad, I've passed it (except the pepper spray) at age 14, and I'm not incredibly fit or anything. I come from a family full of law enforcement so it just may be for me. My dad is a State Trooper, 2 of my uncles are officers, and my cousin is going into the police academy this year.

 

I'm not afraid of the future. Yet. I mean, I'm just starting high school. I still have so many options available at this point for my future.

 

From life, I want to make it worthwhile. I don't want to be a waste of oxygen and resources. Whether it be something like joining law enforcement or creating an organization I want to DO something.

inb4 Crona becomes a famous actor.

About becoming homeless... Keep it for 5 years. I don't drink. I don't smoke. In 5 years, I'll most likely have resources (such as cash :D) to keep you on foot. Why would I give away my money to a random stranger? Well, better then to smoke and drink... :D

 

Edit: This posts sounds stupidly childish and full of ideals I'll forget... But I mean it.

  • Are you afraid of the future?

Nope, what happens happens and what doesn't happen doesn't happen. I don't worry about what tomorrow brings, I simply live today and make whatever prudent plans are necessary for tomorrow. If my plans explode in my face, then that is okay.

 

Really, I think that if I thought more about the future, then I would worry. But I tend to be far too distracted by whatever is going on in the short term to worry about all of the things that could happen further away.

  • Do you know what you want from life?

Actually, I don't really have too many demands on what I want from life. I'm just kind of rolling along at the moment. If I had kids or some other responsibility like that, then I would probably devote my existence to them. Since I don't, well… I don't really think about what I want from life, I just live as best as I can.

  • How will you achieve your future career?

Already achieved actually. Which makes me feel like maybe I got my “cutie mark” a little bit too early in life. You know, I miss being able to explore the possibilities.

 

I still remember when I wanted to be a paleontologist, an astronaut, or a police detective… It was really fun to just allow my mind to explore without being bothered by the practical realities. Now, here I am. I no longer need to worry about what I want to be because I'm already there.

 

I freely confess that sometimes I am annoyed by how set my path appears to be at this point. Set and boring. Not exactly what I had in mind when I was a kid. Oh well. :(

I also want to add both jobs require a LOT of mental strength. My grandpa saw a little girl burn under a car, and my dad, while trying to move a woman who had bloated after death, saw her stomach explode from the gases inside. I don't know any firefighters, but I'm sure there are a LOT of horror stories for them. Whichever way you go, you need to sort of desensitize yourself, or you're going to have a bad time. I don't live in a violent area either.
