Turning a corner

Wowza. Age 25 feels forever ago, which is both strange and comforting. Though 27 feels like it's coming way too quickly, I've learned so much about life and about myself in the last two years. I love who I am and where I am. At the same time, I have never felt so open to living life to the fullest. And by that I mean that I want to travel. I want to do one thing a day that scares me. I want to go to every restaurant and bar in San Francisco. I finally want to make the leap to a new career. And yes, I even want to be this chick in my nearby laundromat:

Today, the first thing I hear when I walk into work is that both my manager and co-worker are leaving our company for a start-up, effective next week. For the next who-knows-how-long, I will have no one to report to at work AND I'll be taking on double the work load. Woot. My first thought is, they are so lucky. For the past couple weeks, I've been on the hunt for a new job because I'm sooo ready to do something I'm passionate about.

As stressful as rewriting my resume, scouring the web for open positions, and leaving my job of nearly five years is, I'd rather keep moving than be complacent.

On another bright note, my social life is blissful right now. Every other day I discover another new restaurant and bar in San Francisco. I'm surrounding myself with people I love to be around. Five days a week, I'm walking at least two miles to and from work, exchanging smiles with my fellow SF dwellers as I skip along the sidewalk. Each day, I'm charged with energy -- even today, as I feel the beginning of a cold starting to fog my head. And that is effin' rad. :)
