Using My Time

"Not all who wander are lost"

I like this quote. Whenever I see it or hear it I like to think, "I'm not lost, I am simply wandering", and then I go about my merry, lost way. However, when I am actually honest to myself I have to admit that I am in fact not wandering but rather completely lost. I have no plan, no God, no purpose, no money, and to top it all of debt up to my eyebrows(and continuing to grow).

I start my last year of college in a few weeks, majoring in economics. I'm not completely sure why economics since I don't know what I will be doing with that, but then again I wouldn't know what I was doing with any major, so why not economics. I will be graduating with no plan, no real idea, and with $30,000 in loans I have to start paying back.

Even though I am lost, I am content. I know being lost is supposed to be a negative, but I am okay with it. Although come to think of it, it would probably be better if I wasn't okay with it since that would motivate me to actually go out and do something about it. But instead I lean back in my chair and sip some splendid tea, not worrying and not really thinking about my current location, nor how I will ever get anywhere.

"Not all who are lost care to be found"

Lost...

I am glad that you are happy - but i won't deny that I feel the tug to want to snag you by the neck and drag you back to where i think the rest of us are - or - are heading. It's okay tho, and i understand (a little) where you are. And it may be that you are the least lost of us all.

Just out of curiosity, where are the rest of you, or at least where are you headed, 'cause is I know that maybe I can meet you there?....I thought you were the only one that really knew where he was headed

If I knew, I'd tell you. I think the general direction is towards the sea.
