In the past year I’ve been thinking about my life and what I want it to look like for the future. It’s a luxury to have the opportunity to even think about these things because for most of my life it felt like I made choices so I could keep my head above water and make ends meet. While I know that the unexpected can happen and what I’ve got can be gone at any moment, I feel like I have some space to actually choose my path going forward and do something I want/enjoy. One minor problem: I don’t know what I want. Seems weird to me that I don’t know and it’s probably because I never gave it much thought.

Last spring I was jolted out of my complacency for a quick moment and I thought to myself I need to change everything about my life. I was ready to quit my job, end my relationship, and just start over without a plan. For better or worse I didn’t do any of those things. I ended up retreating back into myself and have been thinking about what to do ever since. I still don’t have an answer. I actually don’t think there is “an answer” but it gives me time to build up the courage to do something different with my life.

So that’s probably enough preamble and I can get to my point which is I’m hoping to meet other people who are going through a similar experiences or have gone through a something like this already. I’m in my own head a lot and I rarely let my thoughts out to others, even the people close to me. I actually do better with strangers since I feel like there’s not as much pressure to present myself in a certain way and I can be more honest. Maybe we can commiserate together and share our situations, maybe even help each other do something tangible. Obviously this is a heavy topic, especially for strangers online, so we can definitely start off with something lighter to get to know each other. Tell me about what you’ve been watching/reading/listening to lately or maybe a travel location you hope to visit someday. What are your interests and do you dream in technicolor with sound? Happy to talk about whatever. Look forward to hearing from you.
