Lost, But Still Dreaming

I used to believe that by this point in life, things would start making sense.

That I’d know who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. That by simply following the steps studying hard, doing well, staying on track… the path would reveal itself clearly. But instead, I’ve found myself in a place I didn’t expect: unsure, overwhelmed, and honestly… a little lost.

It’s not that I don’t have dreams. I do.

In fact, they’ve been with me for as long as I can remember, shifting and evolving, but always there. The problem is, I don’t know exactly how to reach them anymore. I’m at this strange stage where I feel like I should be moving forward, but I don’t know which direction to go. Like I’m standing still while the world rushes past me.

Some days I wake up motivated. Other days, I wake up full of doubt.

I ask myself questions I can’t fully answer:
“What if I never figure it out?”
“What if I make the wrong choice?”
“What if I’m not meant for this after all?”

But despite all of it , the confusion, the fear, the quiet battles- I still want to try.

There’s still this fire in me, however small it gets sometimes, that refuses to give up. And maybe that’s the most important part. I may not know the exact shape of my future, but I know I want it to mean something. I want to live a life that’s true to who I am, even if I’m still discovering exactly who that is.

So I’m writing this as a way of grounding myself. Of reminding myself (and maybe you, too) that it’s okay to not have everything figured out. That it’s okay to pause, to rethink, to rediscover. We’re not alone in this. So many of us are quietly navigating the same uncertainty, just trying to keep going with the little courage we have.

This space will be my way of sharing the journey, not the polished version, but the real one. The questions, the small wins, the messy growth. Because being lost doesn’t mean we’re broken. It means we’re still in motion. Still learning. Still daring to dream, even when the path isn’t clear.

I may be lost. But I’m not standing still.
And I’m not giving up.
Not now. Not ever.

If you’re somewhere in the in-between too, I see you. We’ll get there — one uncertain, beautiful step at a time.

Always,
