The Quarterlife Adventure
My friend Rachelle replied to my post "Must the Quarterlife be a Crisis?" saying that she thinks that this time in life should be an opportunity or an adventure.
I think that she's certainly managing to make an adventure out of her twenties. She left a great job to go teach English in China because that's something she's always been passionate about doing. She pursued opportunity instead of insecurity, and I really like that. She keeps a blog at http://www.thisismytrail.blogspot.com. Check it out!
(At this point, Rachelle also might be the only reader of this blog.)

I am putting a link to your blog on my blog. So maybe someone else will read it :) But I have Google Reader to thank for keeping me up to date.
You know, adventure is what you make of it. You can still have plenty of adventures even while working full-time at boring office job for generic higher education nonprofit.
I think maybe it's just about throwing yourself into life. About doing the things you can do (make new friends, try new activities, have people over for dinner, go out to brunch, take a random daytrip to the country) and not about what you can't do (have a ton of money, have the perfect job, have the perfect husband, know exactly where your life is going).
Maybe you can just focus on being young and having fun in the city instead of thinking and worrying overmuch about the future.
Just some thoughts.
