Wondering Quote by Cecelia Ahern

“Nobody else around me seems to be looking around and wondering what to do. Why is it that I feel like I'm the only person who is confused and concerned about the choices I've made and where I'm headed? Everywhere I look, I see people just getting on with it.” quote by Cecelia Ahern
