I\u2019m excited but feeling a bit stressed about going to Canada since I don\u2019t know what it\u2019s going to be like when I get there. I don\u2019t know any of the people or a lot about what I\u2019m going to do or what the place is going to be like. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll be on the farm the whole time or will be able to explore nearby. I haven\u2019t decided when I\u2019ll go to Quebec and Montreal and where I\u2019ll be staying when I\u2019m there. A lot of things are up in the air. And it\u2019s the same about what\u2019s going to happen when I get back. I don\u2019t have any specific plans, except to find a way to get paid work. I am not used to having so many unknowns in my life. Part of me really likes the fact that there are so many possibilities, so many things that could happen. Part of me really wants to have an idea of what is going to happen to next. But this opening up of possibilities and having these unknown times is exactly what I was looking for as I considered my gap year. I don\u2019t want to scurry to something that makes me feel more comfortable just for fear of the unknown. How can I balance this anxiety or even let go of it? Or maybe just learn to accept it and that will help me deal with it better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taohurley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1060.jpeg?resize=240%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taohurley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1060.jpeg?w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taohurley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1060.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am realizing how much I like to know what is going to happen.
