I had a conversation with a random person recently out at the bar. The person, who shall remain nameless because I don't know the name, was about 5 years my junior and seemed to know what he wanted out of life. I thought it commendable if not a little strange that he had such a keen sense of direction, especially at such a young age. His view was actually one of pity that someone approaching 30, that's scary, did not have any sense of what he wants for his future. I am generally somewhat proud of my go-with-the-flow life attitude. It has served me well. It has made me open to new ideas and expanded my horizons of what is possible. I'm an opportunist, and I have had some good opportunities present themselves along the way. But at some point maybe I do need to visualize a destination. Who and where do I want to be? And who do I want to be there with? I was hoping this time away from the grind in a new environment would help me figure that out...
Anyway, I'm procrastinating. I have a paper to write.
