Very rarely would you come across someone who says, “I am still exploring!” And when you do come across such an individual, you are uncomfortable with the thought. Human beings by nature want to see certainties in life. They expect normalcy and constancy. But life is not about constancy; it is about flux and growth. It is about challenges and exploration.
