Good idea? :')
ive posted a few of these a couple of months ago and all my ideas were a total flop according to reddit, so ive been really thinking and writing on this new topic and I wanted to share it! Pls lmk if u guys think this is decent and if anyone can read my essay (its already done-ish... I havent had anyone edit or read/give me feedback!)
the whole idea starts with me sitting beneath a tree and each branch represents a future. I never choose a branch, I just sit there comparing each one. one looks promising yet too much work, another is a passion but not secure enough (u get the idea.) This whole mindset of never dedicating to something or pushing through with a plan followed me thru highschool until i decided to start a club where Id go to elementary schools and teach them the importance of brushing teeth and all that. What was supposed to just be a resume filler actually turned into something i really enjoyed. I loved connecting with the kids and it was something i actually loved doing and wished someone had done that with me at their age. I wrap it up with basically saying im still not certain on what the rest of my life is supposed to look like, and I dont think anyone does even though everyone pretends they do. But instead of constantly stressing on the next 20 years of my life, i should just focus on the next step
the ending is basically :
Maybe another branch would’ve led somewhere better.
I’ll never know.
I just know I couldn’t stay beneath the tree forever.
pls lmk ur thoughts!
