I've always found it incredibly difficult to make a choice when it counts. I'm scared. I'm so scared I'll make the wrong decision. I find myself wishing I was one of those people who have their lives planned out for themselves.
Its easy to fall into a rut. Believing that life will work out somehow. But that never really is the case is it? You go through your entire school life being told that you need good marks to ensure a good future for yourself. Then you reach college and that's not enough. You need a plan. Not just a plan, you need a backup plan as well, in case the first one falls through. You need to think through the contingencies, make allowances for them. It never ends. Its times like these I wish I'd chosen a more standard path - a Chartered Accountant or an engineer. Why did I choose the arts, I ask myself. I could just as easily have gone into the B.Com or BBA streams. My path would have been pretty much set then. But I chose arts. Because, for once in my life I wanted to do something I enjoyed. The world was my oyster. Little did I know that the oyster has sharp teeth that are closing in on you slowly.
So how do you know if you're making the right decision? Can't there be a dress rehearsal? If only we were that lucky
