Some of us just can’t commit—to careers, hobbies, or even which course to finish on Coursera. Our browsers are graveyards of half-completed course tabs and “maybe later” tutorials. We fall in love with ideas too easily: storytelling one day, science the next. Our minds wander through the worlds of design, healing, nature, and art like tourists on a never-ending trip.
Last week, it was poster designing. This week? Starting a business sounds thrilling. And please, don’t ask us what we want to do with our lives—we’re still trying to decide what to have for dinner.
There’s a whole group of people like this—people who are endlessly curious. People who light up when they learn something new, who get excited by ideas, who don’t want to be stuck in one role forever.
And yet, when it’s time to choose, we freeze.
Because how do you pick just one thing when so many things feel exciting, meaningful, and worth doing?
No matter what we choose, it feels like we’re leaving something else behind.
We grow up hearing things like “Find your passion” or “Stick to one goal”—as if the only right path is a straight one. As if not knowing is a weakness. As if changing your mind is failure.
But what if not choosing just one thing doesn’t mean you’re lost—what if it means you're still exploring?
Here’s the truth: feeling uncertain isn’t a flaw. It’s a sign that you care. That you want to make the right choice. That you’re aware of how many possibilities exist—and that you’re open to growth.
It’s also a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out.
Life isn’t a blueprint—it’s a draft. Something we’re constantly editing, rewriting, and learning from as we go.
Many of us have felt guilty for not having a dream job or a five-year plan. We’ve tried to squeeze ourselves into roles that didn’t quite fit. We’ve wondered if we’re wasting time because we haven’t "settled."
But if your mind is alive with ideas, your heart drawn in different directions, and your soul still searching—that’s not a problem. That’s part of your magic.
Being unsettled doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re evolving.
Maybe you won’t have just one calling. Maybe your life will come in seasons—each one different, each one with something to teach you. Maybe you’ll never “arrive” in the traditional sense.
Instead, you’ll build a life that’s flexible, creative, and entirely your own.
And maybe, that’s the point.
So here’s to the ones who haven’t chosen yet. The ones still figuring it out. The ones with too many dreams and not enough lifetimes. You’re not broken. You’re simply made of many things—and that’s a beautiful way to be.
In a world that tells us to pick one path, one label, one definition of success—it’s easy to feel out of place when your heart belongs to many. But not finding satisfaction in a single thing doesn’t mean you’re lost. It might just mean you’re meant to explore.
Some people find joy in depth. Others thrive in breadth. Having multiple passions—and a hunger for more—isn’t a flaw. It’s the mark of a curious, evolving mind.
Fulfillment doesn’t always come from stillness. Sometimes, it comes from movement. From variety. From the freedom to reinvent yourself again and again.
You don’t have to fit into one mold. You’re allowed to be a work in progress—
a mosaic of experiences, a story that’s still being written.
And maybe, just maybe, the search itself is the satisfaction.
