This piece struck several cords with me as I've recently touched on topics of uncertainty and decision making (in the form of "plans") in my writing. Welcoming unknown is all we can really do in life. Any belief we have about certainly or comfort or safety is a fabrication of the mind. It can all be taken away at any moment. No one knows what is in store for them. When we accept uncertainty as a universal truth, it allows us to shed our fears around decision making. We can approach new endeavours with the clarity of the present moment and choose what aligns with our desires in the here and now.
As you've said, welcoming the unknown is an important part of life, because ultimately we've only got this moment, and our bright ideas for the future. Dream big, act right, and let the cards fall where they may.
I really like what you did with that first paragraph. It seems to capture the uncertain seeking of early adulthood quite well.
I bounced around between phases of inaction and chaos trying to work out what I wanted to do, and thankfully I have found some answers since but there really was no way around this process, not that I could see anyway.
