Compromise has been something I have always struggled with. I have been forced to realize as I’ve grown up is that you can’t do everything. Since, I believe I am a well balanced person who enjoys a wide variety of activities and hobbies, letting go of even those that don’t mean so much to me is difficult.The quote “you can do anything, but not everything” perfectly outlines my frustration because I know if I want to do something, I will ensure I do it well, but not everything can be given 100% simultaneously. The reason this has become more of a prominent realization is because as I narrow my path toward the things I enjoy the most, I really struggle with leaving other things behind. An example of this would be in school; I equally love my art courses, sciences and math, pe, and humanities, but I can’t specialize in all of them at the same time. Often when making these sorts of decisions, I am at a stalemate when I think about who I could be if I chose one over the other. I have learnt if I don’t pick one, I won’t be anything. I have learnt to let go of my multiple selves that are based off of could-haves.

I am mindful of other people in terms of caring for others and not offending people, but not in terms of need approval or seek attention from others. I am confident enough to speak my opinion and stand on my own, yet I will never say or do anything to hurt people intentionally. I also believe that I am a well balanced person who enjoys a huge variety of things. It isn’t the activities that define who I am, it’s the fact that I don’t like one thing more than the other, which makes me intensely curious about so many things. One negative thing that comes out of being curious and always asking questions is that I think too much. This is negative because I often think about one thing so much that I will make something out of nothing. I will ruin something great by worrying. Overthinking makes me second guess myself and question my confidence which starts out very strong.
