Things to do in my twenties
As I write this, I’m having one of those existential crises that routinely hits me every month. This has been happening for the last decade but recently they’re getting more severe. I’m realizing that I’m about to live out my 20s and enter my 30s. To be fair, I’m only 27, which I recognize is young and not that close to 30, but I’ve always had an anxious side.
I have to let the anxiety ride out and my favorite thing to do when I’m anxious is to plan and make lists. I make a LOT of lists. I wish you could see the number of lists I’ve started in my notes app and in my google drive but that would require me to show you the contents of those lists, which I’m not willing to do. Just imagine hundreds of unfinished lists that start with a few grande ideas centered around the same reoccuring topics.
The benefit of my blog is now that these ideas can be unleashed from the gates of my mind. I’ve always valued when people do the things they say. I live by these same standards. If I share my goals, hopes, and dreams with others, I become maybe a millionfold times more likely to do it. Maybe just to save myself from the judgement of those like me who feel distaste for those who are all talk? Regardless it works.
Here is my list of hopes and dreams before I turn 30:
Travel
- Do the JMT
- Visit Spain
- Visit some countries in South America
- Do a tour of South Asian
Work
- Quit my current job in April 2027
- Work at a startup or start a startup
Personal:
- Further my understanding of Chinese culture
- Improve my Chinese
- Write a short story I’m proud of
