Today has been a very, future-esk type of day. Everyone I saw today was congratulating me on getting accepted at Trent University, and getting the summer job I applied for. Then they all asked me what I wanted to do in life. So when I told them that I wanted to be a child psychologist it really blew their minds, because the last time I talked to them about my future, I had wanted to be a teacher. Of course they're still really proud of me and want me to continue after my dreams, however I think what surprised them most is that it's been two months since I've wanted to pursue teaching, and now all of a sudden, here I am, wanting to be a shrink. After talking to them, I got to thinking about my future more and more too. Specifically how my past has greatly affected my future. These two necklaces were given to me by someone I trusted as a child. Someone of whom I haven't spoken to in four years, and yet, they are still a major part in my life. So thinking about my future made me ask myself if I really wanted to go through my adult life, without that person. And frankly the answer is no. Maybe talking about my future today was a good thing. Maybe I can uphold a relationship with this person, even through difficulties with them in my youth.
