*changing paths*
Recently, I was honest to myself and decided I no longer wanted to go to medical school.
For a while, I felt guilty for going back on something that I thought I had wanted for so long.
The truth was, I only really wanted to be a doctor, because my family was excited about me becoming one. My focus now is to do something I love that is rewarding as well, and not only financially, but mentally and emotionally.
The real success in life is being happy. If something makes you unhappy, even if you’ve already invested time and energy into it, it is okay to change paths. You will realize how great it feels when you’ve finally achieved something that means a lot to you. We’re only human after all. We have to go after what we want.
