The Life You Want

I just watched Revolutionary Road... good, thought provoking and a bit depressing. But really more thought provoking than anything. How many countless people live a life that isn't really the life they wish to be living? How many give up the hopes and dreams that they once had in order to meet the expectations of others? How many put on a face that isn't honestly who they are because those around them might not like or be okay with who they really are?

I have no desire to be bored in life. And I don't personally know anyone that would admit that their goal in life is boredom either. But I'm serious when I say this. I'm an adventurous person. I love change. I long for it really. Some have looked at me and called me discontent, but I don't see it that way. I see it more as a desire to live my life to the fullest. I want to learn and discover and see and feel. Life really is "too short to live the same day twice". But that's what so many people do. And they get comfortable and settled in and... bored.

I know that I'm young and and some might look at my age and say that I'm just dreaming and I'll get over it and life will settle down. But I truly hope that doesn't happen. I hope that I always dream and try new things and act spontaneously.

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions but if I were to make one this year it would be to make the most of every day and be even more adventurous. :) So, here's to all the possibilities of a new year!
