"The fear of becoming a 'has been' keeps some people from becoming anything." - Eric Hoffer

I am in the most peculiar mood. As I sit here staring into my coffee cup, watching the creamer create beautiful designs, my mind begins to wander:

In a month, I am heading to college to hopefully become a music teacher and a political journalist. But, what if those plans fail? What if I do not receive a job out of college? I will have bills and loans to pay off, yet with no money, what shall I do?

The thought of loneliness has been gripping my mind and refuses to let go. Will I end up alone, with no companion? I long for the embrace of a hug and a warm kiss on the lips, just because. Oh, I am trying to be patient, but I feel as if time is running out.
Will I become someone? Will I make a difference? Will I make it? Will I find someone?

All of these questions, plus many more, are constantly racing through my mind. I need answers.

The amazing thing about this piece, is that we have all been in that situation at one point or another. Contemplating the same thought.

You sound in despair. But you're concentrating on what you don't have rather than what you do. The easiest thing is to dream of something you don't have. Much harder is to find a way of making your dreams come true.
