3.6 The One About Being Confused

Being confused can be confusing.

Even now I just paused, busy trying to figure out how to add to the rest of this blog.  Sometimes there are so many things going on, great things, crappy things, ‘seriously?’ things, and then the sneaky ones.  Ah, yez.  The sneaky ones.  The ones that you wouldn’t normally find confusing at all or would affect you in any way since you’re generally solid on those things.  When your friends giggle at the fact that you may not have a FB account and because of your heightened state of confusion, you wonder “Should I?” Or a job opens up that isn’t in the field you want to go into, but the money is good and you wonder ‘Should I?’.  Heaven help you if things like marriage, babies or moving to Brazil pop up, you could convince yourself these are the ways to go. Even though your gut is screaming at you that you hate computers and that you were ready to declare a death in the family every day to get out of going to work the first time you had that particular job.  Never mind that you’re fine on your own right now, kids are great when you can return them to their owners and the heat makes you break out in a rash.

Sometimes I find that the best decision is to not make one.  You’re confused for a reason, but that doesn’t mean you have to send in the troops to figure out what it is right now.  Give it some time to percolate in your brain.  Whatever you ‘should’ do in life is whatever is cool with you and if that means that it may take a few days where you don’t feel particularly grounded or at peace, then it may take a few days where you’ don’t feel particularly grounded or at peace.

Keep calm and carry on, and your path will eventually come to you.

Although I will also recommend Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake.

It’s a personal philosophy. ;)
