I'm working on it.
I decided a few years ago that since I wasn't going to be famous, I was going to be useful. Thus I put into motion going back to school and getting into a tough PA program. It's high enough level that I get to do a lot of the fun stuff, and low enough level that I can still go home and sleep at night. I chose it specifically because I wanted to *do* something with my life that I feel good about. Where I can go home and say "yep, I was useful today."
I'm almost 30, and usually feel much older at the same time I'm feeling much younger. I do want to have kids and all of that, and I would be pretty upset to die now and not have those experiences. So all I can do is put things into motion to put myself where I want to be. Which of course... is retiring somewhere in Hawaii on a rocky beach with the surf surging up the sand. (hm, alliterative, too!)
What I have done... is found an amazing partner, and some amazing friends. So I'm still working on career life, but at least I have Q. I did something right. I am also passionate, and outspoken, and I tell you (all of you) the truth. I don't waste my time on bullshit. I am glad about that.
What's my point? Hm, what IS my point? ... Oh yeah.
I am already trying to live life on my terms. It's not easy, but I think it's worthwhile.
