I Feel Inadequate

My friend was talking about her plans for future, of the exam she is giving in a few months, preparations and all. It's like she has her whole life planned out, she knows what exactly she wants from life.

It's now making me feel inadequate. I'm happy for her, but now i feel like i'm stuck here, i have no purpose, i don't know and i don't want to know where life is taking me. Like going with the flow. I've been fine with it in the last year and a half, life gave me a few nice surprises along the way too. But now talking to her makes me wonder if i should look for something, plan out my life, find something purposeful or meaningful. It makes me wonder if not having everything planned is worth it or not.

I have no idea.

Some people are planners, and some people allow life to just happen. You say that you've been happy with your life. It sounds like the only negative is that you've compared yourself to someone who isn't like you, and now feel you should be like her. There's really no need to do that. You've already got a life that's working. Don't sabotage it just because someone else does things differently.

Different things work for different people. :)
