A friend and I were talking the other day about how funny it is that people our age are at such different places in our lives. We have friends back home and even in the area that are engaged, or married, or even have children! People we know are buying houses, and unpacking all of their belongings and buying flood insurance, and all sorts of things I cannot imagine at this point. Life is funny that way, I think.
Now do not get me wrong - I am SO happy for all of these in my life that are at this place! However, not only do I not feel old enough for these things, but they are of no interest to me at this point. I don't know what it is, but I just feel like there is so much more for me to do before I "settle" down. Now some may argue you do not have to lose this sense of adventure when you get married (or the rest) it just provides you someone to do things with. Okay. Good argument. But, finding the right person, or the person(s) you can stand to do these things with is easier said than done. In the meantime - quoting my favorite viral video star, Jenna Marbles, "I got stuff to do." Not that I really know what this stuff is that I am so anxious to do...time will tell...or at least that's what they say - whoever they are.
I am not sure if this newfound sense of adventure is in part due to my days as identifying as a student coming to a close, or I just have the kind of personality that is always looking for more. Perhaps a little of both. The thought of "the real world" is both scary and liberating to me. I have never JUST been an athletic trainer. I have always had 10 million other things to do, some including homework. Life without homework...sounds like pure bliss! I feel like I will have so much more room for activities! Or perhaps boredom? What if I pick the wrong place to move to? There are only old people and families, and nothing to do? Or what about my place of work...what if I pick the wrong place and I hate it? Up til this point in my life I have had the advantage of insta-friends (as one of my doc students calls it). You are in classes with people and they are in the same place you are and it is easy to form friendships when you are going through life together....well, that ends here. I mean, I am not a shy person...although I sure used to be...so, making friends comes fairly easy to me for the most part. But what if where I go, there are slim pickins? If there was a way I could pack up all of my friends from all of my stops around the globe and bring them with me, and they all be happy, then that would be ideal. ::sigh::
I don't even know what this blog post is about anymore... just "blah"gging now.
Okay. Enough ranting about nothings for the night. Maybe again some other day.
