As some of you know, I've been putting serious thought into going to law school after my undergrad.

Lately, I've been truly wondering whether my heart is really into going for a law degree. It's something that I do have an interest in, but I'm starting to wonder if it's something I would ever truly be happy doing. I think I was considering something like that because of the wrong reasons. (financial security)

I've always wanted to be a writer when I was younger. I used to write just for fun, have always done well in my English classes, which is why I'm an English major. Writing is something I love to do; it allows me to be creative and express myself.

Now the part of writing that makes me shy away is that a lot of the jobs are not secure. I would have to struggle for some time and hope I make it. The kind of writing I want to do are plays, screenplays, and novels. I always get ideas in my head for plots and characters, but never take advantage of it.

Now in my heart, I know I should go for what I love. It's just that I'm somewhat of a coward when it comes to taking a chance on things, especially myself.

Has anyone been or is in this situation?
