the twentysomething year old

What makes life so interesting are the risks you take and the people you meet. I've lived the majority of my life fearing the consequences of risks. Well, that's what the twenties are for! I am going to write about my trials and tribulations of being a twentysomething year old in this big world, trying to figure it all out. It's going to be a topsy turvy ride, but that's what being in your twenties is all about.

Do Something Different

Do Something Different is my commitment to living a more diverse and fun-filled life. I'm embracing and even igniting the spontaneity within me. Every day, I will do something that I'm not used to doing in my routine. I believe it's very easy to settle down and get comfortable with the life you have. Being complacent is easy. Adapting to change and dealing with new situations is much more difficult. It sparks growth and pushes you out of your boundaries. I'm looking for new challenges while juggling my old challenges--that's what life is: balancing the new with the old. Who knows, in the way of fulfilling this mission, I might even learn a thing or two about myself.

So I've been doing this for three day now!

DSD #1 (Sunday): I played the guitar, or rather, I just fiddled around with it for about half an hour. I wish I'd dedicated more time to learning how to play this instrument in college.

DSD #2 (Monday): I had a conversation with a stranger on the subway ride home. People love to talk about themselves and sometimes, they just want to talk. And I love to listen so I listened to this man talk about his life for 20 minutes. That's all it takes, 20 minutes. I never got his name but I hope one day our paths will cross again.

DSD #3 (Today): I'm going to a spontaneous concert with a friend! Mike Snow @ Terminal 5! I don't know this band but I've been enjoying their music all day!

What's your DSD?
