Misleading Road Signs

Getting in your car and knowing where to go: you hop in your car, fire your engine, reverse to the road and drive to your destination. Then the awkward moment when you realised that you didn't know which way to take. I would normally pull over and take my GPS out and wait until it 'Acquires GPS signal' and input the address where I want to go. You are then directed, it tells you your ETA and all that, but most of the time, when you don't follow robotic lady, she redirects you to a longer and more complicated path. Usually she directs you to a bumpy dirt road as a punishment. I am not exaggerating things, but she seriously needs to grow up and get educated.

If a GPS is not in the picture, which likely makes it more difficult, it actually is like a joyride of loops. You figure out your way, and you take which road looks more familiar or less scarier, but at the end of it all you still don't know which path to take, if not a no through end. It is so annoying because this totally what's happening in my life, irl.



Even my car doesn't have an identity
 

Well, In 2010, when I was about to skip school because I got accepted in uni, I was certain I want to finish Psychology. I thought it was broad, and it would equip me to any field I want to engage; but no. I didn't enjoy it. I ended up taking another path, well, it was meant to be a little detour but I took it full-on and after the short course on my summer break, I boarded to the full degree-- I finished it because I loved it, however the end of the road takes me to an ocean. I need to catch a ferry to continue the trip. I did, but now there are more roads need to be decided which to take. 


Just right before I moved back to Australia and finishing my degree, I was certain to pursue studies in Nutrition and Dietetics. However, when I did arrive on the other side, that certainty definitely lost its strength and I forgotten it as I pampered my love for creative things. So, I wanted to do Arts, but I’m not too sure because I’m not geared for it. It’s like taking a rough terrain with a sedan. I obviously need a vehicle to take that way. Now I’m slowing down and thinking before I take any road. Slowing down means working part-time at dodgy food places (well, it’s international, so it may not be as dodgy as it sounds) or googling almost everyday which way to take.

It’s hard if you don’t know what to do or you want to do everything. This is my dilemma and it surely helps that I’m very versatile and easily-manipulated. Yes, there will be people who'll encourage, influence, or the alike flowery synonym of those words. They will tell you which is 'best' for you, but at the end of it all, only you knows what's best for you! I also think it’s mainly I easily lose interest or find many reasons not to continue a venture. I still am very thankful I never run out of petrol or don’t break down. I am in the brink of it, so please help me God.

Well, I think the main culprit is my drive to take a path less travelled and it's actually harder than I expected. Swish me luck! ;D
