I’ve found myself really struggling with this summer. I guess it’s kind of silly of me. I know I should be grateful for having a summer where I don’t have to worry about anything and basically relax to my heart’s content, but I can’t help but feel idle and unproductive.
There are so many people that I know that are out there making a difference. Whether it be internships, helping the homeless, going to Africa, Japan, Brazil… I just wish I could be out there doing something… anything. I feel trapped in my daily routine and I just can’t seem to get out of this funk.
I know that I don’t have to be out there doing something extraordinary to make a difference or feel worthwhile… maybe I just need to see where I can be of use in my own family, my own community… maybe I just need a new perspective on things. I need to realize that I can’t let myself feel insignificant compared to other people.
My goal for this summer is to find something I can do everyday to make a difference for someone, whether it be big or small. Sometimes it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference. Who knows… there may be opportunities out there that I haven’t even realized. I just need to find them.
