The courage to choose for yourself
I have been thinking about my life a lot recently. I’d say all these thoughts have been sitting deep inside of me for a long time.
I could spend an embarrassingly large amount of hours doing things that don’t really make me closer to who I want to be. Also it seems to me that I’ve known that long enough. Just didn't want to pay attention. Still, all these things actually feel productive at first.
Back at university all I wanted was to have enough time for language learning. Probably pass an international exam. Why not? If only I had had time, I would immerse myself in it completely. Or so I thought.
Now I have a full time job and also work under a civil agreement. All these don’t seem to be my dream job. It’s not rewarding or fulfilling, with few exceptions. But it does have its pros. My salary covers my needs and allows me to save money. I would have been impressed if I had been told that at university. In reality, however, it was the other way round.
As soon as I finished my studies I started to feel stuck. Even though I was in a favorable position (compared to many of my classmates). I felt as if I was missing something. As if I should work more, make more money and learn new things. At the same time my income hit the wall. Given this, I used to panic and look frantically for a new job.
I know that people will never be content with what they have, but I ended up falling into that trap all the same. Now I have much more time and energy than I had back then. And I think I don’t need a new well-paid job. I just need courage to do what I’ve wanted for a long time.
P.S. Thank you for your corrections and for your time! I'd also be glad to get some synonyms or constructions that would fit better in my sentences. I'm trying to make my speech and writings more vibrant and dynamic.
