Getting older means some doors close. It also means you finally know which doors you actually wanted.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Narrowing is not purely a loss. At sixteen nearly everything is theoretically possible and almost nothing is clear, which is exciting and tiring at the same time. As options close, the remaining ones sharpen, and most people trade a hundred vague possibilities for three they actually care about without regretting the swap.

Notice which of your current options you would be quietly relieved to lose. That tells you something real about what you want. Then put serious time into one thing this month instead of keeping six doors propped open out of fear of choosing.
