I imagine within any life there’s a string of similar realizations happening for most of us.¬† For some, it happens early in life.¬† It took me 27 years to realize (or simply remember) that life isn’t what’s going to happen to me.My life is not what’s going to happen when I make more money, or when I travel, or find someone.

My life is tonight, it’s right now. It’s my job and my friends.¬† It’s playing pool at the Page for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon.¬† It’s watching Dark City until 1am.¬† It’s waking up at 6:30 in the morning, checking my email, and starting work from bed.¬† It’s the sink in my bathroom that reminds me of the inside of my colon.¬† It’s the awkward moments when the toilet seat cover falls in right when I’m about to sit down.¬† It’s the bus rides filled with familiar strangers.¬† It’s the ‘Good Mornings’ and the ‘Thank Yous’ to people I don’t know.

It’s time to look at all that and decide if it’s what I want for my life.¬† If not, what do I change?
