I am a third year student , 20 almost 21 years with lots of regrets and missed opportunities clearly mentioned in my life’s CV. But do I regret ? Earlier I would have said yes, but now no more. Not because it sounds fancy enough to hear but because it something I truly believe in.

After graduating school , I didn’t know what I wanted to be despite having lot of backups which in the end were of no use. So I clearly went with the choice which was clearly out of what I studied but was a professional course. By the second year, I was plainly not happy with my choice. Therefore, I convinced my parents to let me apply for art school which I thought would be a perfect choice for a creative person like me and turning a hobby into career seemed pretty clear and good choice. Besides this, a voice always nagged me for not applying there , so I took the opportunity to change my regret into an avenue.

But I am in an art school now? No. During that I realized , art is not just about drawing a perfect picture and telling stories. It’s so much more and inexplainable. It was an experience that is embedded in me and cherished dearly.

MORAL : YOU think YOU are GOOD at something , go for it. NEVER hold yourself back. If you regret doing something , NOW is the time to undo it. And as we all know, its never too late when we come to our senses.

P.S I am still hustling and searching for what I wanna be .
