This post has been a long time coming, but I have good reason for the delay...

I have achieved a few goals this summer (some intended and some untentional):

1. Finally reaching Vegas

2. (For the mean time) finally settling and getting use to living in a new city.

3. Growing out of my anxiety of life

This summer has been one full of growth both in my physical relationships and in my personal well being. But the one thing I wanted to stress on in this post is my growth as a mid twenties adult living in a new city and still trying to find my way within this life. I guess this is a battle everyone seems to go through after graduating from college and being "let loose" out in the world to conquer everything within arms reach. But how do we go about doing so, if everything that we have achieved up to this point has been laid out for us from the start.

Here is the run down to this point:

1. Preschool - Try to get that whole "1, 2, 3" and "A, B, C" thing down.

2. Kindergarten - Playing doctor with the other kindergartners. Side note: a female friend had to remind me that we use to "kick it" under the teachers desk during nap time in my wonder years. She even claim that we were dating. This was news to me being that the concept of girls (especially the one not having cooties) didn't seem cool to me till 2nd grade. But hey, just shows you that I was focused on the opposite sex as a youngin'. Ha!

3. Elementary School - the years of crushing on every single girl that caught my eyes. See note 2.

4. Middle School - School dances and the dawn of relationships.

5. High School - the beginning of the end.

6. College - The last years of depending on our limited independence.

Throughout each period, there was one underlying theme that was constant: direction. No matter what was going on or what we needed to figure out til this point, we knew that we had to either finish high school or finish college (This is only if we decided to take this route).

But now where do we go. What do we do. Loans begin to build up and finding any job is better than no job. So dreams are put on hold and life begins. So that is where I am at right now so its seems that all I can do right now is to set my goals and reach for the stars, its all about reaching for the right ones.

Where do you stand?
