What Does The Future Hold?

I am horrified of what is to come in the near future.
Everyone expects me to be auspicious and plan out the most diminutive of details there is about the path in life
I shall take. But truth be told, I do not have the slightest perception on what I want to do with my life. I do not have anything that I am fully passionate about, and nothing scares me more than being concealed by a career that I do not love. Do not get me wrong, I enjoy the art of writing, but I do not see it as being a métier for myself. I am an amateur; a mockery to all bestselling authors and aspiring poets. I am naïve. I lack the experience and skills it takes to be fortunate in life. I observe my peers amplifying their knowledge and becoming something greater than themselves; while I sit in the background wallowing in a dearth of confidence in myself.

Author's Note

Just a rant I thought I'd share. I didn't know what category to put it in.

Loved it. A very real expression of what so many people fear. The stuff written here is scarier than the average horror story. Great job.

I can relate to pretty much everything here, though in recently decided to attempt to pursue writing as an alternative to a typical career. You shouldn't doubt your skill, you never know what the future holds, there are far too many successful idiots with no skill or talent out there because the talented doubt themselves too much to try.

This pretty much sums up everything going on for me. Especially the feelings on writing. Hope everything unfolds and you find all the answers you need. :)

Thank you so much! And I hope the same goes for you!

Its all in there I see...its a parting as much as its a desire to be somethings---anything or nothing...in the meantime...enjoy life and see what else it offers...writing is either in you or not...not all of us become NBA, NFL, NHL players as an example...and not all of us are writers...but hobbyist the delve in the fact its there to be taken lightly or seriously a nature...depends on the person --- are really wanting to dedicate your life for something --- that feeds off the top feeders and waits for the leftovers at the bottom...well may be... everyone has to start there...or gets lucky and can do it as a pass time without worry of how to put food on the table...and pay the bills...that's the hard part of being a writer...you sweat more than you get out of it monetarily...
