"I'm not even 20 idk who I am"
(Can be used for any young age, really)

That right there. Don't. Yeah, you're almost 20. You will never ever know who you fully are. That's the secret. How can I say such a thing with confidence? It's because you will continue to learn about yourself through the years. That's whether you want to or not. You will continue to learn until your death bed. It continuous and never stops until you're dead.

The trick is getting a grasp of who you are deep down. Just enough that you are confident enough to persue moving forward. How do you know? When don't feel like you're betraying yourself and your conscience feels whole. That's how you know you're on the right path. Whether it be starting or further down it and years later.

While it won't be a straight line, it never is, but that is half the fun. It's part of the experience. Have to trust it will all work out in the end.

Sometimes life will take you down a different path than you were on. These "detours" as I call them can be good and some can be bad. Have to learn how to rely on your senses. Including being self aware of your surroundings.

Sometimes the path you're on is a dead end and you have to go back. It sucks but you make it a point to learn from it is else you will repeat it again and again.

Sometimes the new path can take you farther than the original path could have. Leading to a better life. Some people consider this being lucky.

You see? Life is about making choices. These choices shape everything within our lives. You're at the age that you aren't aware or know how to make informed choices. It's not your fault. Just the way life is because you haven't had much experience in certain fields. Just as with everyone else when they graduate high school and go off to college. New doors open up and new experiences are needed to be conquered.

Risks are all around us. The aim is to make calculated risks. You remember that. You're not expected to know how to just yet for the same reasons it just explained with the choices. However, through trial and error, you will.
