When I was in university....

When I was in university as an undergrad....

Anything that I wanted to do, I did.
Anywhere that I wanted to go, I went.
Anything that I wanted to say, I said.

Now that I'm not in that stage of my life anymore, now that I'm in the working life, I can no longer do what I want to do, go where I want to go, or say the things I want to say.  At least that's what it feels like, why is that?

Do we lose our gutsiness as we get older?  Do we get scared more easily?  Is this what we call Maturity? Responsibility?  Acceptance?

According to Steve Jobs, if you know you were to die tomorrow, would you still make the same decision?  But....that's bit of an unfair situation because he was sort of dying.....

Nevertheless, if I know I was dying tomorrow, I would 1) quit my day job 2) take my passport and visa card 3) bring along my camera and 4) see all that the world has to offer and write it down.

But the thing is, I am not dying tomorrow (at least I don't think so) and there are (it seems like) many things that are waiting for me to do:

Get a job
Get a house
Get married
Get a family (i.e. kid)
Get a new bag, iphone, teeth...................all the things that money can buy (except the kid)

What about getting a life?

Whew.......

Today is New Year's eve and it seems like it will be chaos as it gets closer to night time.  I need to go out to get the bag before it gets too crazy outside.  I'm running out of time.
