When the story of my life is written, what will be said? I know I'm probably too young to be thinking about what my legacy might be, but that's what I do.
I wonder: Am I ambitious enough? Am I taking advantage of all that I have been given? Or, am I -- as many of my generation are -- slacking off?
Depending on the day I'm having, I think one of two things:
1. I'm doing great! I work full time, own my residence and am quite self-sufficient (most of the time).
2. I'm not doing so well. I get up in the morning, get ready for work, spend all day at the office, drive home, eat dinner, watch TV and go to bed so I get some rest before I wake up and do it again the next day.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Am I tiptoeing through life when I should be living it to the brim?
I've always been afraid to try new things -- until I try them, that is. I enjoy the comfort and solitude of my apartment after a long day of work. But I fear that I'm using my home as a crutch -- poor choice of words, I know -- and staying inside its walls when I have free time instead of going out, meeting new people and experiencing new things.
I know my hesitance to do such things holds me back. And, yet, I can't seem to make the leap and try something new.
It's already five days into the new year, with just five months until my next birthday. In those five months, I want to try five new things, whether it's going someplace, doing something or meeting someone new.
So, wish me luck. I promise to report back in June.
