Lose the Map, Find Yourself

What do two people do who waited in the freezing cold for hours only to realize the bus that they were waiting on doesn’t have room for them? They lose the map and find themselves.

Aside from all the silliness, yesterday was sort of an object lesson for me. I have always been the type of person that likes to plan ahead. I always have a schedule for my daily routine and "appointments". I always had my life planned up to a year, and I always knew what I wanted in life. Well, I am 29 years old now and for the first time in my life I cannot make up my mind on what it is I truly want for myself. I have absolutely no idea what I will be doing or even where I will be for that matter in the next month. And while it is a great recipe for adventure and living life on the edge, at some point I gotta stop and ask myself, what is it that I really want to do with my life?

As we rode on the tram yesterday, I kept thinking, "where are we going?" "we are leaving the city, we may not find anything interesting out here" "I should just look at google maps and find something where we can eat". However, in the end I opted for not giving it a second thought and yes, to just enjoy the ride. I lost myself looking out the window, watching the people go by on their daily life. A grandma cleaning her windows. A couple holding hands, walking on the street while she looked up at him with that smile that you just know, she is in love. I saw people walking to the west and to the east. I saw a father playing with his children at a park, bouncing up and down on a trampoline  And I saw for the first time, what life really is. It is people getting older,  people having children, people falling in love, and people rushing to and from work. Life is a cycle and and we all go through it. The difference lies in how we choose to go through it. 

While I still do not have the answers I am seeking at this moment, I just know that for now, how I choose to go through life is by never stopping to feel like every day is an adventure.
