The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The future. It is still unclear to me where would my path and decisions take me. To be honest, I am so fixated with what I am currently doing in the present to think about my future. The workloads from my school, full-time work, affiliated organization, and family problems is already enough to fill my mind. Furthermore, if I could describe myself as a person, then it would be as a "go with the flow" type of person. Meaning I do not really have a clear set of goals in life as of the moment (the goals that I've enlisted are things I just thought of by the way, it is because I really don't have anything on my mind).

Unclear path.

Ever since I was a child, all I do is to expect the bare minimum or even nothing at all from anyone. That is why, I feel less disappointed if things did not go as planned as I already expected the worse to happen from the get-go. I believe, that this mindset will carry on in the future, maybe it could be a defense mechanism of mine so that I would not be overwhelmed with expectations from anyone. How I truly wish if only there was a device or a way that could show me a glimpse of who I am and what do I do in the future, I would immediately take a look at it. Maybe serve it as a guide for my current self in preparation for what small and big things that I will be able to do in the future. An unclear path that leads to an unclear destiny.
