But I dont know what. I complete my childcare course in a month or two and I just feel like I want to learn more or something. I know for sure im not ready for work and its going to take me 6 months or more to find a job, less if im lucky. :shock:

I know in the future I do want to travel
 
*Smiles and offers a cup of tea* Well, I think you are probably getting the 'almost graduated' jitters. But, you know what? You don't have to limit yourself! You really don't. You'll love childcare, but most childcare people get burned out pretty quickly if they don't have other things to do when they get home from work. My suggestion is (between now and the time you get to travel, when I will expect a visit from you, no excuses) to try to think up some things you really like doing, or better yet, some things you'd like to do but haven't tried yet for whatever reason. Incorporate that within your lifestyle. Kids are wonderful. I love them with all my heart, but you have to remember to keep a space for you or you will become unhappy.

Don't worry. Choosing to follow a career path doesn't damn you to that career if you get restless down the road! Schools are always there and grants are there in oodles. *Big squeeze* I'm proud of you!
 
so do i! i wanted to travel but i had to make some cash/paychecks to save that up for future but live long while you can, do make the best out of it, yet to come!

carpe'diem!
 
as time goes on, you will find more things to do and understand yourself better. just be patient with yourself and dont rush things if you dont have to.
 
Follow your dreams, travel, experiment, live free! Some day you may have a child, a morgage, responsibilities that are not so easy to walk away from.

NO kidding!!! I didnt plan on having my daughter in my 20s ..but life didnt go the way as I planned. Would have loved to do all of that.
 
I have a baby, but I hope I can go back to school and I hope I can open a dog/horse therapy center for kids and adults that need emotional healing. That is my goal...well, that and become a professional writer. *Screws up face* Not very ambitious, am I?

I have always wanted to be a writer but not enough confidence in myself. Need to get over it but it is hard.
 
I know what you mean. My problem precisely. I want to do it though! I really do. I just wish I knew if I were good enough to be even thinking such things.
 
If you think you are good enough, you will be. If you think you are not good enough you will never get started. Loving and believing in oneself is so vital to living life for all it is worth. Maybe the self-fullfilling prophecy could help you on your journey? I look at you and see such a beautiful, intelligent and caring young woman...how could this person not be anything but her best?
 
Thank you Moon-child. You are very wise, and very kind, and very beautiful, inside and out. It helps so much to be believed in. I think you are right...that waiting to find out if I any good will never make me any better is true. I will find the strength to venture forth...waiting has done so little for me! Thank you again, with all my heart!
 
You are welcome. Take courage...."the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower......but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves..." ~ Osho Zen

So if I am so wise then listen to me sweety, you got this one life to live, stretch your comfort zones and fly!
 
*Smiles* You are right. I know it. And I will do something about it, in fact, I am looking up ways to get started with my stuff as the moment. You are a precious person Moon-child! Not everyone can touch lives in such a way!
