'What Next?' (1)

A question I keep getting asked by every person I know and those that barely know me but feel entitled enough to question me, is 'What are your plans for the future, now that you've graduated?'. Like it matters to them, like they're going to support me if indeed I do need their support. 

Hello there, I'm 'the Earthian'.

And this isn't aimed at those people to insult them, neither do I write this with a sense of hatred or to 'put them in their place', but just to recommend people to not do that to others, especially to people you don't know but feel entitled to an answer from them, I'm looking at you elders and relatives. And if you're going to do that to someone, make sure to at least make them comfortable enough with you for them to open up. It's not an easy question to answer, it's simple, but not easy. Simple because it's a rather straightforward question, but not easy because it's putting them on the spot, it's probably already something they're thinking about and perhaps even worried about. The last thing they need is that sort of pressure, pressure of knowing that they are being judged heavily. They don't need it in their lives. If you do want to wish them well, the alternative would be to tell them that the world is waiting for them to get conquered. Tell them their lives are going to be beautiful, tell them they're going to be happy, tell them they're going to be successful in their own unique ways. Drown them and get them drenched in positivity, give them hope, don't take it away. That's what they'd want too, probably, I can only ever speak for myself. 

Love, peace.
