I am 46 years old.<\/p>\n
By this I mean that I have been 20 and 25 and 29 (and everything in between.)<\/p>\n
I have at every age been \u201canxious\u201d to \u201cfigure it out\u201d. If someone asked me what all these years have given me, I would say, \u201cHello. My name is Dushka, and I am an expert at getting lost<\/em>\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\nFortunately for me, stumbling around feeling lost is the only way to accumulate the experience required in getting found.<\/p>\n
Here is the big fat secret adults keep from younger people.<\/p>\n
Ready?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe age where you think you will have everything figured out never comes.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t exist. Everyone is convinced that happiness lies on the other side of \u201cfiguring it out\u201d. Instead, happiness is now. Figuring it out is supposed to be fun.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s why we are here. Feeling like you are the only person who hasn\u2019t is an illusion created mostly by yourself.<\/p>\n
Figuring it out is another expression for the pursuit of happiness. Happiness is not \u201cwhen I turn 30\u201d or \u201cwhen I find a boyfriend\u201d or \u201conce I get a job<\/em>\u201d or anywhere in the future.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s within the actual pursuit. Resolve to make it an adventure. We are all trying to find ourselves.<\/p>\n
Here is why<\/strong><\/em>: finding yourself is a moving target. The world changes constantly.<\/p>\nWe change constantly. Once you find yourself you have to begin again.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s best that you start accumulating relevant experience. Hurray to feeling lost at every age.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
