Who: Lizzy and OPEN
Where: The park
When: Mid-afternoon
What: She's writing in her journal... got a lot on her mind.
She paused and bit her pen as she leaned back against the tree. The idea of figuring out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life was kind of daunting. Lizzy stared at her
journal and tapped her pen against the pages. There had to be some kind of decision she could come to. The idea of only knowing how many things she liked and what she could possibly do but not really coming to a conclusion was frustrating. Her career didn't have to be picked out right then and there but she had to make some decision. There was a loud, childish giggle and she looked up, watching a mother with her son, tickling him on a picnic blanket. That was cute and it made her smile.
And it made her realize something. Her pen started to fly over the page as she thought about love and one day, one day far, far away, having a family of her own. Lizzy was an idealist and a hopeless romantic. She would have sat there all day, writing about love, about how much she wanted it but she forced herself to stop and look up. It wouldn't do her any good to get wrapped up in daydreams when she had enough serious things to think about. It didn't mean, however, that she really stopped thinking about someone coming in and sweeping her off her feet. Anora flew down from the tree branch she'd been perched on to the witch's shoulder, chirping sweetly.
'
What is troubling you?'
"Life. Why do I have to make so many decisions? I'm only eighteen and barely that. How should I know what I want to do with the rest of my life? What do I want to be? Where do I want to be? Picking classes was hard enough and they were practically chosen for me since they're all gen ed classes. Ugh!" The last noise was louder than she intended, likely drawing some attention but she closed her eyes and leaned back against the tree, feeling like she was getting absolutely no where.
