i have been hearing from a couple of people that i need to accept my position in life as a young professional. that my responsibilities to my job and my lifestyle somehow dictate and require a style of living that is "older" than the one that i am currenly comfortable with. i do not agree with this idea of living. it is true that i may not be able to be a college kid anymore, but that does not mean that i cannot continue to live with that mindset. i do not under any circumstances wish to be the kind of person who cannot relate to anyone just because i have had the fortune to be sucessful. what an amazing feeling driving into work this morning with the biggest smile on my face and a greater sense of understanding as to who i am and what i want.
