stop thinking about others?

At about this time last year, I was preparing for my final days of college. Wondering what post-college life had for me. Well, here I am. Still wondering. As I was thinking about different possibilities and what might be in store, I had a hard time answering the same questions I'm facing now. What are your passions, what would be your dream job, what do you feel your gifts are, etc. etc.? As I was pondering these questions a year ago, I was talking to a friend on the phone and as I was venting about the anxiety of the unknown future he said something along the lines of "Bekah, this must be really hard for you. You're always thinking about others and what they want and need and think, but this is a time where you need to figure out what you want and need and think." This is in no way supposed to be me flattering myself, because let's be real-it's not always how I act or feel. But quite honestly I brushed off that statement without even thinking twice, but it has come back to me now. A year later. I don't do well at processing, so here I am still trying to figure out what I'm passionate about and where I feel called. And now is the time to face myself head on and do some soul searching. Anyone have any ideas for what I should be when I grow up??
