Dear Mandy Marie:

Most of the time, in my life, including the time I was your age, I operated in the dark, figuratively. Didn’t know where to go, which way, what to do. I realize now that a lot of people operate in the dark, you included, not knowing “where getting (your) associate degree will take (you)”, not knowing a lot of things and therefore being afraid to move, resulting in being “Stuck In Life” (title of your thread).

This is why it is important to not look into the far future but look only a short distance to what is in front of you this moment, exactly where you are. If you do, you will take one small step at a time, slowly, attentively. This way, not rushing in the dark, you are not likely to bump into things and fall. As you take a step at a time, you will see a bit more, and then more, and more.

There are no guarantees, no assurances, but then, this is true for everyone.

Glad you are back to your thread. Will be glad to read from you anytime.
