Call me Iffy.

Did you now that if you're 22 years old and you've got no idea what to do in your life you're basically screwed?I knew that. Well done clever girl. But you know what's even worse ? When you're 22 years old and you want too much. You've got so many plans for your life, so many ideas that you are not capable of making your mind or deciding on one thing. I know it might sound stupid, but it's not. So many people are asking me what I want to do in my life, what are my goals, my dreams, my plans, my hobbies and passions. And I feel so stupid when I am not able to answer this, at a glance, simple questions. BULLSHIT !

I am 22 years old girl.
I can speak 5 languages fluently, I can communicate in 7. I love travelling so I've been thinking of making a living from being some kind of travel agent or creating my own travel organization. As I've been travelling whole my life, at the beginning with family and with getting older I got more independent, I know a lot about other countries and cultures and I really love learnig through travelling. I think no school will give you as much experience as getting lost between little alleys in Portugal or eating Arabic bread somewhere on the desert with the natives.
Or maybe I should get into real estate business? You also need to know languages, be organized person and capable of dealing with people and use your skills of persuasion, which I believe to have. (told you it's not that easy).

I am very interested in photography, that's why since few years I've been focusing on becoming better photographer. I spent hours working with my cameras in different enviroments and after that working on them on my computer. I am not a professional photographer yet, but I am on my way to become one.

I love fitness, that's why I took some courses, I went to the PE school and for few years I have been very focused on my healthy fit lifestyle. I still love it and I see myself as a personal trainer in the future. I do not put it as a priority at the moment, but I know I would be really good in this job.
Making people's lifes better, that would be definitely something for me.


I can not forget about an art of being a bartender. And I am not talking about working in All Inclusive bar, and making "whisky coke" or "a pint". I am talking about a real bartending. Don't get me wrong, every job is a job and I am not trying to put anyone down, but there's nothing special if you work in a bar where measurements don't matter and who cares if you put lemon instead of lime. Most of the clients are probably too drunk to realize that anyway. But for me being a bartender is same as being an artist and to create a perfect coctail is same as creating a work of art, if you know what you're doing. That's what I want to do, that's who I want to be. And I don't like judgmental looks at people's faces when I say I see myself as a bartender in the future. As I said, for me bartender=an artist. If you're good at what you're doing you can really achieve a lot.

Few times I got this thought of being a wedding planner. I do not think about having my own, but I can definitely imagine myself orgaizing someone else's wedding. Chosing the perfect dress, music, decorations, place. And everything to create the most beautiful day of one's life. We come back here again to my obsession- organization. I love to have everything under control, perfectly planned, I am a master in making lists, notes, etc. And yes, I know I am good at it.

So, here you can see my few ideas where do I see myself in the future. The most important? I see myself happy, with no regrets, living my life in 100%. Some of you might laugh. I don't mind. You might be thinking that I am irresponsible, that I should think about earning money and making a future and maybe even family and I won't go too far if I will keep living the way "don't worry be happy". And I am not saying you're wrong. I might wake up in 10 years doing what I am doing now. Laying on the beach with my drink, maybe next to my love one, thinking about all the ideas I've got in my head and trying to figure out my life. Who knows. Or maybe I will become one of the above? Or maybe I will change my mind completely in few year? Who knows. At the moment I don't, so if any of you got any idea what should I do with my life, don't tell me. I will figure it out one day. For now I just want to be happy and nothing will stand on my way to achieve my goal.

See, as I told you, having too many ideas is almost as bad as not having any. But if really you're in your 20's and you still don't know what to do with your life, honestly, get your shit together. Pack a backpack and go to Thailand, Cyprus, Australia. Wherever. Change something, take chances, take that risk because you don't know what is waiting for you behind the corner.
