Re-discovering the therapist in me

KnittedPenguin25 July 2nd, 2016

I've recently graduated from college. Throughout the entire time, I kind of fought with every thought that's ever come to me.
I initially wanted to go to school to become a psychotherapist. Yet, I'm also a debater at heart -- so, I came up with a lot of excuses not to become what I initially wanted. I thought that I couldn't empathize with people; facts were superior, and I can debate about that too.

I realize that I'm not as stone-cold, and facts driven as I initially I would be.

I kind of regret being so hesitant about trying new things, and exploring my options through actions rather than thoughtful decision making.

But, I suppose now comes the opportunity to try and act, instead of argue (no matter how counterintuitive that is to me).

So, with open ears, and eyes (as we do here), it's okay to open up and allow others to come in, whether they come with facts or not.

That's quite an interesting perspective.

But I can see where you are coming from. Logic and reasoning pretty much are the basis in which people value greatly.

Just want to say that there are some things in life, that you need to just go for it. No hesitation and no doubt, there's no need to argue with yourself whether it's a good experience or not. The point is to experience it and enjoy it while it last!

I personally think life is just too short to worry about the small things. We only get one shot in life and we definitely should make it count.
