Farida, this is something I can relate to, the writing, coding and everything between. I don’t have any fancy words of comfort or advice to offer. What I can say is that this road we walk on is yet untravelled, and it gets confusing having to decide what path to take when there are multiple options. It’s almost impossible to know if the ones we choose are the right ones, at the point of choosing, but choose we must.

I think, in the end, to live is to strive, for something, someplace or someone (the vague idea of the person we hope to be). I don’t think it ever gets fully clear for most people; I assume there are some who have it all figured out right from their first moments on Earth. We just have to try, fail, assess, learn and try again, better this time. And, through all of this, hope we get closer, not further away from our goals.

Sometimes, we find that the ideas we held were fuzzy and discover ourselves anew. Whichever the case, I like to think of my life as a movie, with various plot twists, but an overaching theme. I don’t yet know what the theme is, I admit, but believing it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be unveiled as I act, that gives me reason to keep on moving everyday, even when it gets hard.
