Week 4A. Internal Conflict.

I cannot really think of an internal conflict that I'd like to share, but I'll share it anyway. Lately I've been thinking about what I want to do in a couple years, and what I want to major in when I go to college. It seems like once I find out what I want to do with my life, and I plan on sticking to it, someone in my family has to critisize it, then I have to think of something else. I've always liked writing, I even like taking English classes, which is what I want to persue myself in, but then I have to hear about how there's no jobs around this area for that, and that it doesn't pay enough, blah blah blah. So lately I've been fighting a lot of my family about what I'm doing when I graduate. So now I constantly battle myself in my mind, thinking of the pro's and con's about my choices. I guess how I could fix this is either by changing things so it makes them happy, or just do what makes myself happy. Either way it seems like I lose this battle.

everything comes with time. do what will make you happy, and work hard you'll get there.

yeah... figureing out what you want to do with the rest of your life is a pretty big conflict... but no worries.. fighting with you parents is pretty normal :p
