Hitting Home...With a Vengeance
Edited for time and content.
Personality breakdown day! I'm pretty sure I've been through all this before, but today was a more in-depth examination.
I hate being in my 20s, I think. It's that bizarre transitional phase where I don't know who I am yet, and that's definitely not a comfortable place to be. A lot of the time I think I'm fabulous, then I have these sudden flashes where I see myself as I believe others must see me and I get a little squirmy.
You know, the other night I told someone at Grease "Hey, great idea!" and meant it - he made a face at me because he thought I was being sarcastic. Can I not even pull off genuine anymore...what happened?
I never EVER thought I'd say this....I can't wait to be 30.
But today I'm happy because of pillow cookies from The Fresh Market, and because Mary Lee made half the lasagna vegetarian - she's so sweet. And Kevin appears to be healing well - we had a good time, together again.

O.K... Get over yourself! Stop trying to figure out who you are, and who you're supposed to be, and just be who you are. All this self-examination will just cause you angst. And, for God's sake, don't try to rush through your twenties. Savor these years.
I speak from experience. My introspection happened in my early thirties. Is my sense of humor too caustic? Am I alienating friends? Does this tie go with this suit? It all makes no difference in the long run. People who don't get your jokes, or who can't tell if you're being sarcastic, aren't likely to be your long-term friends anyway. You can't be all things to all people, so don't try. Just be yourself (even if you don't know what that "self" is) and enjoy life.
I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Life is what happens to you while you're waiting to live." By waiting to be 30, you're going to miss some great years while you're "waiting to live."
