Personally I need to go because I just need to talk to someone. I’m the type of person that tends to bottle up a lot of things and it isn't healthy. As of late I’m beginning to see more of the effects that holding things in is having on me and I need to start letting them go in a safe environment.
To start off my list of 22 things that I want to do as a 22 year old, I've selected therapy. There’s nothing irreverently screwed up with me or anything, I’m the same amount of disturbed as most of us are. But I need to talk, really talk so that I don’t end up with a mental disturbance of some kind. I think that therapy and counseling get a bad reputation – that it’s thought that you can’t or shouldn't go unless you've been traumatized or damaged in some way. But think about how important it is for us to go to the dentist every six months and get a check up or to get a physical once a year just to make sure everything is okay and working well. Now it’s true that a lot of us tend to skip out on our appointments at the dentist and doctors offices, but think of the next time you go – when there’s an emergency. 9 times out of 10 the original problem that you go in for turns out to be the smallest of your issues because you didn't check on advance. So that toothache you thought was just a cavity will probably need a root canal and that chest pain that you thought was just acid reflex could be early signs of a heart attack. The point of my little rant is that going to see a therapist is just like getting a mental check up.

So I was sitting in Starbucks the other day overhearing the most superficial conversation that I've heard in a while when I realized that only about 4 years ago I was probably having a conversation that was even more superficial and I felt just as strongly about it as they do. My life changed though when I got to college but not immediately. The experience that I had studying abroad in London during my first year of college was empowering, and life changing. It was after being there and meeting two of the best friends that I'll ever had, that I realized how much I didn't want to go home and have those superficial conversations again. Unfortunately, it took a few more years to realize that meant that I had to get rid of superficial relationships first...some of them harder than others. With all of this being said, I need to find the real meaning of my life and what it is that I truly want for myself and who I want in it. Approaching 22 I'm still pretty young but definitely in that place where there's still time to mess up but not so care-freely anymore.
So I've already started with 22 days of things that I want to do when I'm 22 years old. |
