Confused Adult

Hello. I have no idea what I'm doing.
And it's been this way for an awfully long time.
In fact, so long, I've only just realized that this might be an intentional pattern.
But truly, I'm not sure.
Is this unusual, or is this just life? I seem to remember we were supposed to have plans, but I have lived my life like skein of yarn without a pattern. Or maybe not. Mohair... is it in or out?
Anyone who can shed some widsom on the art of growing should post their insight here.
Any help at all will be extremely appreciated!

Thank you.

Ha! Buy a guidebook?

Yes. A guidebook.
Let's see..... index.

I quote an entire announcement made on a recent flight. This was all that was said/announced for 20 minutes before or after:

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you haven't had the chance to, please take the opportunity to do so now.

Very good, #3.
I think that should be on Page 1.

Now....Table of Contents.
Is there a dedication?

Those airlines have been getting funny lately. While waiting for a flight at the airport I heard this one:

"Your attention please, Mr. Donald Wright - Donald Wright do you believe in the Hereafter? I hope so, because if you are not on your plane in 5 minutes you will be here after your plane leaves."

If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.

OP, you have to go to San Luis Obispo. It has such a cool name.

OP: It's all about perspective.

I recommend that you go somewhere with little or no vegetation and engage in high-risk behavior while quoting Shakespeare. If and when you finally do return, either take a vow of silence for at least 24 months or volunteer to work with FIV-positive orphaned kittens.

You could also collect used plastic shopping bags and show them to people at bus stops.

You could do at least some of this in San Luis Obispo, as Willysnout suggests, though they may (or may not) have laws against the unfettered dispensing of iambic pentameter.

When you see how well it turns out, write a book about it and Oprah will probably have you in for an interview.

Good luck!

Have you considered East Dogshit, South Dakota?

On second thought, I understand there is going to be a vacancy in Rohnert Park

I've gone through like 3 midlife crises and i'm not even 30.

last one had me leaving southern cal to go to philly...someone please shoot me.

rohnert park smells like cowshit 150 days of the year. I used to live about 15 miles from there.

If you've spent some time quietly considering what's important to you and then consistently turn toward the opportunities that support those values, the life you live will be better than anything you could plan.

Forget about what your high-school career-counselor said 20-years ago about how important it was to have a life-plan, and drop the guilt-trip for not having one.

Most of us just make it up as we go along. Knowing your own values helps you recognize and sieze the opportunties that come by each day to have a fulfilled life.

Midwesterner speaks to the heart of the matter. And very well, I might add.
Although, after that post, there is now a world_wide shortage of hypens available.

When Gore Vidal called America the land of the dull and the home of the literal, I believe that he was thinking about Midwesterners everywhere.

I love you, too, Willysnout.

Just do something!

Midwesterner, repeat after me: "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better!"

Every day, in every way, Willysnout is getting better and better!
