An Endless List Of Options

Everyone says how lucky we teenagers are these days, to have so many options available to us.
We have so much potential.
We have so many pathways to choose from.
& I am grateful.
But sometimes I wonder, if we have too many, and that makes things even harder to choose.

I think life is a bit like this in general at the moment.
There's not just milk or water to choose from for a beverage any more.
It's milk, cola, soda water, mineral water, fanta, lemonade, lemon water, lemon juice, apple juice, orange juice, TOMATO juice (the fuck?), tea, hot chocolate, latte, cappuccino, etc.
It's not even, chocolate or strawberry anymore, it's vanilla, triple chocolate, raspberry swirl, apricot sunrise, you get the picture.
There are so many choices, and options, that it's almost too much.
The ones i've mentioned are merely a slight touch upon some drinks and desert flavours.
I haven't even mentioned the job perspectives!

Don't get me wrong, like i said, I am so grateful to be privileged enough to have all these options open to me, and to live in a world where I get to make a choice on what I want to do, and who I want to be.
All i'm saying is, it's a little overwhelming.
Ok, it's VERY overwhelming.
Having to work everyday for the rest of my life, just to able to afford to live, DEPRESSES ME to no end.
So, I obviously have to find a job that I enjoy, otherwise I won't be able to bear it.
Which begs the question;
asked by all;
asked since I started school;
& asked everyday since;
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?

& the answer?
I couldn't tell you. I still don't know.
& I was always so scared of the future, because I had no plans.
I had no big goal that I wanted to work towards.
But I've learnt something, and that is;
you don't necessarily need a grand plan.
Sure, they're helpful, but not essential.
But life tends to throw us things, in unexpected ways.
There's no way of knowing whats ahead, so why not just live day by day.
Plans are fine, and I have some short term ones, because they are rather helpful.
But as for the long term, who knows? & who cares?

I'm not waiting for anything. 
I don't expect it to come crawling up one day and bite me on the ass.
So I'm just going to do whatever I feel like doing, (within reason) whenever I want to do it.
& hopefully, things will just happen as they are meant to happen.
If I feel like nothing in the world can make me as happy as sailing boats do, then I'll go out and work my ass off to be able to sail boats for the rest of my life.
If I need a PhD in something, to find happiness, then I'll do that too!
But right now, I'll just focus on earning some money, living day by day, enjoying living at home again, and jump at any opportunities that come my way.
