A bit about me:
I’m in my mid-twenties, one of those mid-twenties people who has kind of lost direction in life, and is stuck in that awkward graduated-from-college-but-now-what-the-hell-do-I-do phase.
Life! So interesting. I like life sometimes. Even when it’s dull as dull, it’s never boring. Especially when you go out there and just live (instead of sitting at home watching reruns of The Cosby Show).
I love nature. If I could marry her, I would. Nobody makes me happier.
Not really sure why trees and mountains are so amazing, but if I could spend the rest of my life in simplicity, unfrettered with the pointless details of the normal suburban life, then I would. I would live in the woods. With my family of seven.
Music makes me happy too. I’m better at listening than creating, but I do enjoy a good jam session with my guitar.
Led Zeppelin (“I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold”), the Beatles (“everybody’s got something to hide, cept for me and my monkey”), Fiona Apple (“I make the most of it I’m an extraordinary machine”) are my top three picks, probably. Honorable mention Dave Matthews (“isn’t it strange how we live our lives for another day”).
And I really should get back into books…
My narrowed-down career options: elementary school reading specialist, non-profit organization person, ESL teacher, or journalist.
I’m really into psychology. More specifically, I’m really into myself. I like studying my own personality disorders and neuroses. Analyzing my dreams, interpreting my emotions and all that. I am a Leo. A white-blue (wind-water) color code personality. I am such an introspective ditz I lose track of what’s going on around me.
I crave inner peace and peace with the people close to me — I love people, it is good to have good friends but I’m not very good at giving hugs. I’m the oldest of four kids, pretty amazing parents and all that.
I had an epiphany the other day that really isn’t an epiphany.
The purpose of life is evolution. What separates us humans from the rest of the animal kingdom (supposedly) is our ability to learn. Our evolution is intentional. We can remain stagnate or we can choose to extend ourselves, reach further for that top shelf and in the process grow an extra inch. Cheesy, yes. And profound? Maybe.
Anyway. I don’t know if there’s a god or a creator of the universe, and I don’t know about morals either.
All I know is I want to keep living, and I want to be happy, and that means putting one foot in front of the other, and learning, and trying new things, and being around people who want to keep living too.
“I’m really into psychology. More specifically, I’m really into myself.”
If I had been drinking something when I read that it would probably be in my keyboard now:)
Glad to read that you are still your laidback, quirky, cool self.
