"You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -Rainer Maria Rilke

+ my life has zero direction

My life has zero direction and the only logical thing I can think to do, as I feel like the ground is crumbling beneath my feet, is write on tumblr about it. This is the quickest place I can get all the thoughts out of my head at. My body is literally shaking all over. It started about a half hour ago. Actually, let’s be honest, it started weeks ago and it’s what caused the ruin of my relationship. But I think it all collapsed on me a half hour ago. I’ve been trying to write a lab report about crayfish for my animal behavior lab. I have been avoiding it like it’s a plague. All this time, I’ve been wondering why I’m trying to avoid it so badly and then it hits me as I am staring aimlessly at the 200+ pages of research I have in front of me—- I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT. I don’t care about crayfish. I don’t care about their aggressive tendencies and their hierarchal social systems. I really don’t give one shit and this is why I haven’t been able to write it.

This sounds small, but as I’m approaching my senior year and I only have two more psychology classes to take to finish my undergraduate major…I’m realizing this is nowhere close to what I want to do with my life. 

I’ve done really well in university, making dean’s list each semester…BUT WHY? What is the point? I don’t see a point.

I had such big hopes and dreams for myself, how did I forget them? Who am I now? What is this fucking life I’m living because right now it’s something I never would have imagined for myself 4 years ago. I am a girl sitting here writing a lab report about crayfish and I have no idea why. 

Life is moving so quickly and I’m getting so lost and I just wish I had some sort of idea of who I am. I am so frustrated of not knowing things in my life. I honestly don’t know anything and all I want is to know. 

I know I need to snap out of this and just write my fucking paper but I hate that I care so much about my grades when this isn’t even what I care about. It seems pointless and if life is so short, why the hell have I been wasting my time?

I’ve met incredible people and I wouldn’t trade that for the world. I’ve experienced true love (cheesy, I know, but true) and it’s helped me grow as a person and realize what love can really be. I’ve lost that now because of these stupid feelings of uncertainty and I know I should embrace uncertainty right now, but I AM SICK OF IT. 

I am a mess.

The worst part about all of this is I know I’m going to continue to stress about this STUPID FUCKING lab report, as if I actually care about it. 

Who am I? I wish the answer was as simple as the question.
