So I'll be firmly in my mid-20's this week, no going back to the carefree teen years. But the inevitable birthday has got me thinking how blessed I am at this point. I have such a wonderful support system w/ my s.o., best friend moving here, etc. I'm grateful, but I'm also thinking, what am I doing w/ my life and what's holding me back from living to the fullest?
One of my college alumnae held a workshop on life planning. It was fantastic. But there was one thing she said that struck a chord with me. "If you're not enjoying yourself, get the hell out of there". Strong but wise words from a spunky woman in her 40's.
So what do I want this birthday? ? ?
A career change - have to work for that myself
pretty, but more importantly, artistic and interesting vases:

Something from the Buccellati Classica collection or museum quality pieces (price, I don't know, thousands upon thousands?)
Trip To A Country I Haven't Touched (mom? no, jk!)
Ok, ok, so I may not get anything on this list except that first thing, but maybe one day I'll get some art pieces. :( I guess it's good to somewhat dream.
Other than that, not really anything I want or need. Yay?

Life's a Trot
I sometimes have these fathomless feelings of utter depression and despair. But these days, I'm feeling it more than usual. maybe it's all the depressing visual news (photos of the Zimbabwe elections, toxic chemicals in Bhopal, etc), the lack of exercise (thank you Rn for some gold advice, even though I might not show it, I always appreciate your thoughtfulness) and the environment I spend hours in?
There are so many happy things too of course. Personal relationships are strong, my best friend's moving to the area, I have steady income, I have a pretty healthy body, and the weather's so beautiful. I'm never hungry and never thirsty. Just gotta define what would make me happier and go for it.
