Welcome to a reality many of us face.

Some people know they want to be a doctor one day. Some people get into drugs and never come out of it. Some people get into religion and never come out of it.

I wished I would become famous more than anything else. And rich. Man that would solve all my problems and lethargy.. Right?

I'm not saying this is for you, but personally I'm all about experience and adventure now. I'm going to die someday, and it would really be a bummer if I got to that point and my biggest accomplishment was a healthy dose of regret and an old barely used body.

I've moved a few times now and tried different kinds of things. I worked in a weed dispensary in los Angeles to arresting drunks for the police department in tundra Alaska. I've worked construction and I've worked hospitality and I've found that while new things are cool, I still haven't managed to find "my thing" yet.

I've been broke. I've been thin. I've been fat, I've been depressed. I've been happy. I've been on drugs. I've been sober. I've been calm.

I've also met very cool people. Seen some crazy shit and was nearly eaten by a bear once.

The funny thing is that none of what I wrote here seems true, the funnier thing is that I have even more things I could tell you about but don't need to. Like the time I came across my favorite book signed by the author in a private library in Seattle..and stole it! Now my most prized possession! The list goes on!

I'm 25, and I started this path four years ago. Has it always gone perfect and according to plan? Hell no. But it's been awesome. Now I'm in Utah working for a software company that I totally accidentally stumbled in to, and I don't have a college degree! (It really does pay to just be cool and friendly with people)

I'm not telling you to throw everything away and start over doing the same thing you're doing but in a new location.

But if you really care about who you are as a human and the gravity you carry, why not try something different?

The only thing I had an excess of was fear. I still have fear. But now I chin check it once on a while.

I'm not exceptional. I'm just trying to make the movie of my life that I'm living through more fun to watch.

Hear me or don't, I'm not trying to preach to you. Live your life. But I know what you're going through. That was me. And I'm not worried about it anymore :)

tldr: try stuff. Take opportunity when you find it.

(Also forgive any typos, I'm on my phone and was about to go to bed)
