FUTURE: It's up to me

The millennial generation, my generation, are often told they are doomed. We graduate with degrees in fields that are not applicable to the current marketplace with outstanding debt in attaining our education. We are self serving restless parents’ basement dwelling unambitious adults.

Well, I have decided that is not true for me and is also the case for many more we just never hear about.

I shall not satisfy my anxiety with the propagation of worrisome thoughts nor shall I indulge myself in my fear of not being good enough by never getting up and endeavoring to at least pursue my dreams with nothing less than a voraciously sedulous zeal and passion. I will not comfort my mind in the tight confines of the cozy prison of self doubt, never going out to explore the world and exploring how I fit into it all. I will be restless till I find assurances. Deprived of joy till I learn to go beyond the horizon and be content with who I am. Discomforted with the knowledge that today can become tomorrow’s history and it’s up to me if I wish to be written in the pages of tomorrow.
