a serious post? this can't be
OK, so I have had a lot of time to think in this past month. I thought this would bring a realization to my life, and it has.. but not in the way I was expecting. I realized I don't know who I am. I have been busy for the past 4 years of my life in college, working, and going out. I don't even know what my interests are. When people say what do you do for fun, I have no answer. When people say what do you want with your life, I have no answer. When people say tell me something about yourself I don't know, I have no answer.I was too busy to realize that I am my own person.. but right now, I don't know who that is. The purpose of this post is that I am over appeasing everyone else. Unless I am close with people, I am not comfortable right now talking to everyone about "what I am doing with my life." Please stop asking. I can't compare myself to other people, or allow others to compare me, and ever expect to be happy with me, whoever that is. I never ever thought I would be the person who didn't know, who didn't have a job right out of college, who had to "find themselves." But the fact of the matter is that is exactly who I am right now. Instead of ignoring this reality, I need to accept it. It may be taking me longer or it might take me 6 jobs or more schools to figure out what other 22 year olds have known for ages or are discovering now, but whatever, that's the reality of it. So please, PLEASE don't ask me about my life right now because I don't know.. and I'm sick of explaining why. I know people are trying to help, and I appreciate that more than people know- I am aware I am not the most expressive person with my feelings- but constantly being reminded that I "don't know" isn't making it OK for me. I will find out who I am and what I want to be.

Hey. I hope NYC is still fun, even though you're a native by now (if that's the right word?). Anyway, if you get some free time, I'd love to hear about the city and all of the weird/exciting people.
