I can’t tell if I’m wise-beyond-my-years or just lazy.

Is it wrong to gamble on the fact that everything is going to turn out right in the end? Because I have no concrete plans for my future. I’ve always just had the attitude that if a person is good, does what makes them happy, and is open to opportunities, everything will work out.

No, I don’t know what college I’m going to. No, I don’t know what I’ll be majoring in. No, I don’t know where I’ll be ten years from now. But do I really need to know right now? I’m 16 for God’s sake! Well, according to my peers I should already be planning my dorm room bedspread. But honestly, I’m just trying to master the art of waking up and getting to school on time each morning.

I’ve always believed that I’ve had my priorities straight: enjoy life, live for today, do what makes you happy, go with the flow, everything will always turn out right in the end. Isn’t that the kind of advice that life blogs and inspirational parents and wise people who have lived already say? But every day I’m surrounded with people who have A Plan and are always 20 steps ahead of me. They’ve decided what they’re going to do with their life. I know you can’t get anywhere without a little effort, but lately I’ve just been really questioning myself. I don’t know if I’m living on good, underrated principles of happiness or if I’m just being lazy.

My head hurts!
