This is going to be a personal post because, truthfully, I’m feeling lost too. And if you don’t know this about me, I’m not great when I don’t have a plan. Writing this helps me remember what’s important.

I never finished my degree. I chose to leave school, unsure if it was the right decision, but it’s the path I took. While most of my friends were attending classes, I was picking up extra shifts at the restaurant I worked at.

In hindsight, maybe I should have prioritized my education. But with no parents around and bills to pay, I had to grow up quickly. It wasn’t an excuse, just my reality.

I don’t regret my choices, but when things go wrong, I sometimes find myself wondering, “What if?” What if I had stayed in school? Would my life be different now?

The truth is, we can’t change the past. But we can shape the future. So, what do you do when you don’t know your purpose?
