Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting a friend whom I hadn't seen for an entire year...
If you know me, you probably are aware of my tendency to "reschedule" these meetings last minute due to my "old lady stay at home syndrome", but luckily I found the encouragement to get out of the house and socialize (When I say encouragement, I mean pizza).
Two pizzas and a couple of drinks in, the conversation started getting a little deeper when we finally got to my much feared topic...
SPOILER ALERT! (HERE GOES MY VERY FIRST DOCUMENTED EXISTENTIAL CRISIS!)
"so...what are you doing?"
"working." I said while awkwardly keeping a straight face, whilst starring into the great abyss that is (or has been) my life.
When I meant to take a "gap" year, the intention was to follow the typical Find Yourself journey. As foreshadowed by 100% of my lovely family and friends, that one year soon became two.
Two years of "drifting through life" as my company for last night's pizza would call it.
This is not to say I haven't accomplished any goals or had eye opening experiences. I did get a job doing something I never would expect doing in a million years, discovered my impatience for mindless drinking and clubbing, and how big my hatred towards routines are.
So, I guess I have discovered who I am in some level, but certainly not what I want to do!
Essentially, I am standing right where I was two years ago with a little more cash, better-informed opinions, and a driver's license.
...2014 better bring on HUGE changes.
