My life has always been planned far in advance. It seems as if I have known exactly who i'm going to be and what i'm going to do in the next 5 years. 5 years ago I would have told you I was going to go to Colorado State University and study veterinary medicine, specializing in equine orthopedic surgery after I graduated from undergrad with a degree in Animal Science.
What happened? I got burnt out. It happens to everyone at some point. I was living in the future and not in the present. Anxious, scared and yes, even depressed. I'm still not completely okay with who I am, and honestly don't feel much like myself. But, I have a plan!
When I finish my undergrad, I won't really have a degree in animal science, but rather just a bachelors degree. That's okay for now. I will look for a job as a dog trainer, that pays enough for me to pay off my student loans. It's the one thing in life that I absolutely love. In the back of my mind, I still really kind of want to go into a medical profession. I can go back to school for that later if I so choose. I have always loved school. This is the first time in my life that I have really had a dislike for it. My ultimate goal in life I suppose, is to find happiness.
To find happiness you really do have to live in the moment. This blog is going to be an "in the moment" blog, I will write a post at least every other day. It might be about eating Thai food, riding my favorite horse, or maybe about something really cool my service dog did that day. My life is definitely not "normal". It is full of passion, adventure, empathy, creativity, and respect. I don't even know how best to explain it all! I'm introverted yet outgoing for the most part. Quiet, yet speak my mind, even if it might be confusing for others. What ever it is that ends up being posted, I hope you enjoy it!
