I seem to always be on a pursuit to find what I want to be when I grow up. I just never thought I will still have to ponder this question at 30. It's not that I do not know what I am good at. That last few jobs that I've had, I have become a jack of many trades. I went from working for the most dynamic team in the hospitality business to the publishing industry. I can suggest an excellent pairing of food and wine to designing a marketing collateral. But I can't hone in on what exactly is my passion. Even my blog is having an identity crisis. (Probably a very big sign of why it's taking me so long to post anything)
As I am still searching - I found out society plays a huge role. Granted if you let society dictate your insecurities. Is it due to all the choices that are given to us that cause such a rift of what we want to do? Are we too overwhelmed with a variety of possibilities so we can't make a decision? I am still willing to pursue the journey but I am going to start going back to basics. So when the next person ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I will simply reply..."Happy. Yet I am still optimistic that I will be able to find a career."
So tell me, what was your journey to find out what do you want to be when you grew/grow up? Did you go through a quarter-life crisis? Third-life crisis? Mid-life crisis?
