Fighting my way out of the middle


Today is the first day I start fighting my way out of the Middle. I'm stuck in the middle of life, middle America, middle class, mediocre job. It's all just in the middle. Living in Los Angeles several years ago wasn't all perfect - far from it - but I felt alive. I struggled I succeeded but I was always looking ahead with great excitement. I wondered what my life would hold. Well now here I am. Almost 30, working 8-5, watching DVR reality shows, going to BBQ's on the weekend and then I do the whole thing over again on Monday. How can I get out of this cycle? I don't know what different job I would do. I actually enjoy my job and the people I work for but I feel so trapped. Like..."Is this it?" Is this the rest of my life.




I have a great husband who is open to anything. He was blessed with a happy disposition, and can find joy in just about anything. I on the other hand am a bit more melancholy. I just don't want us to wake up one day and say "what happened to all those years"


I want us to say "Shit, we had a great life!"




I have a great life here in San Antonio but I feel unfulfilled, unsatisfied. I want to grow as a person, I want to experience beautiful things, learn from different people and try new things. For the last several months I feel so stagnant. So out of place. I want to change but I haven't found the right thing to electrify my life. What do I change? Do I join a group? Move to a different city? Get involved in the community?
