I just found out there's no such thing as the real world...
I feel like talking about how "life is just a series of things we do, one after the other and none of it matters and blah blah blah..." But I've never been really good at that kind of thing.
Tony doesn't know what he wants to do. I don't think I know anybody who knows what they want to do. Everyone I've ever encountered that knew what they wanted to do has eventually modified it somehow. Here's what Baz Luhrmann has to say on the subject:
"Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday."
and
"The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t."
finally...
"Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either - your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s."
He's much better at this stuff than I am. Good job, Baz.
What do I want to do? Well, for a long time I thought that I should find a career that inspires me, so that when I get up to go to work every day I leap out of bed and just can't wait to start the day!! Then life came along and I realized something. Chances, are, I'm not going to feel that way about my job every day. And, at least at first, I'm probably going to be in a job that I merely tolerate. The job I have now, for instance, I don't love. I don't hate it, but given the choice I would rather stay home. But it pays the bills for now while I get ready to try something else.
Gotta get outta here, I'll finish later.
