Here is a documentary of my life. My faith is my priority, my culture and family mean the world to me, but all these factors conflict with my own desires. If I were to choose something that makes me happy, I wouldn’t go with a career that is safe and favorable in our culture. I would like to express myself artistically and get paid for it, but I don’t know how I would be able to do that without making any major compromises that would be extremely difficult for me to handle. Confusion is always in the air, and I’m stuck not knowing what to do. I wish I could figure it out already, but at this point, that is pretty much impossible. If I had to make a quick decision and choose a path that is safe, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee my happiness if it means that I would have to suffer through college studying a subject that I either hate or take no interest in. Choices, choices, choices are all I have right now, and it will continue to be that way until I figure things out.
