No control

So internship is over, and I'm stuck at a crossroad.

On the one hand, I want to take a break from working. I want to taste freedom, sit at home with nothing to do, and not worry about the endless things I need to complete on my to-do list. I've long forgotten how that feels like, and it would be nice to have some time off to do the things I want to do.

But on the other hand, I want to work on my portfolio and gain work experience. Can I really just sit by and let the weeks go by, knowing I've achieved close to nothing? I have so many things I want to accomplish this year, but yet... Why is it that I still feel so aimless? 2016 is a blank book, and I want to do something meaningful with it, but... how?

Is this what having an existential crisis is like?

I've recently gotten an offer for a job that I once wanted, half a year ago. Oh, how things change within that short span of time. Now, I feel like my internship experience has opened my eyes to the world around me. I guess you could say I took away more than what I expected from being in the magazine - along with friends that I never would've expected meeting.

I guess now it's all about whether I'm willing to put myself out of my comfort zone, and whether I should just grab the opportunity I have and make the best out of it.
