Should I Chase My Dreams or Stick to the Plan?
So here I am, almost 23, back in my childhood bedroom in Texas after my girlfriend of three years called it quits. No rent, no bills—just me, my parents, and a whole lot of uncertainty. I was supposed to start a Geoscience degree this fall, but all my applications were for schools in California, where my ex got a big job. Now, that plan’s out the window.
Lately, I keep thinking maybe this is a sign. I’ve always wanted to launch my own candle business—got the name, logo, and even a niche ready. But I also love science and want to finish my degree. To top it off, I just got back from a trip to Australia and the travel bug bit me hard.
Now I’m working as a barista, barely scraping by, and wondering: Should I save up and finally go for the candle dream? Or is that just running away from my original goal? Maybe I should just pack a bag and travel for a year, but what if I come back to nothing? If you were in my shoes, what would you do? 🤔🌍🕯️
