Are Prisons Obsolete? By Angela Davis

When I grow up…
”…I wanna be a veterinarian! I’m gonna help animals when their sick or hurt, and make them all better.”
That was my typical response when as a child, my teacher would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up.
Back then, the answer was so simple. I loved animals. I remember carrying an encyclopedia about dogs with me to school everyday until both the front and back covers fell off, just to learn as much as possible about them. I was infatuated with learning about, and wanting to help, dogs. So of course, being a vet seemed like the only logical answer.
However, somewhere between those elementary years and today, that seemingly easy question took a more definitive and final turn. At 24 years old, I find myself asking “Monique, what do you want to be when you grow up?”
I’ve always considered myself a Jack of All Trades kind of girl; someone who was able to be somewhat well versed in many different areas. Sports, academics, and a social life? I had all three going for me. Throughout college, I convinced myself that I was going to be a nurse; then a sports agent; then a publicist, who would eventually own her own firm.
Now my dreams seem to be heading in a new direction. A direction that I’m psyched about, while at the same time, terrified to pursue. The ambiguity and uncertainty of the journey is what has me afraid. But I guess what they say is true: “If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.” Sure, that sounds well and good. But how is a girl with a head full of ideas and a jack of all trades mentality supposed to follow one set path? How am I supposed to settle on one dream, with the afterthought that I’m not pursuing my destiny?
More and more, I’m learning to rely less on vision, and more on faith. I’m learning to enjoy the journey, rather than the destination. I have a strong inclination in my heart that although I often take calculated risks based on my own bravado, I am capable of doing anything I set my mind too. I have too much pride to fail. Once I have my heart set on something, its a wrap.
Tonight, I’ll pray on it. I’ll pray for God’s continued direction. I feel everything aligning so perfectly for me, it’s scaring me. But this is no time to run from my dreams. I’m ready to do something big. The time is now.
Let’s get it.
I really need to get back to writing…
…think I’m gonna commit to writing at least one blog post everyday. And yes, this one counts. :)
i’m so tired of thinking. i’m so tired of driving myself crazy.
