So I just saw that Minka Kelly is the Sexiest Woman Alive for 2010 for Esquire Magazine. I know it's 2011 and I'm kind of late on the news. But I read a little bit of the article of her on their website about her and what struck me was that she was 30.
THIRTY! Minka Kelly is 30.
Well first off she's hot for a 30-year-old. But damn. While others are dreading that age, she's embracing it. That made me wonder. The past few days I've been living in this sort of quarter-life crisis thinking about who I am, who I'm going to be, where I am, and where I should be. A lot of thinking's going on in my head. But the what struck me was how she embraced it and I thought, "Wow!" That's where I need to be.
Well not as the sexiest man alive, although I wouldn't mind that award if it was given to me, but at that state of mind by the time I become 30.
I want to be able to be happy at where life lead me by the time 30 rolls along. I want to have accomplished something great. Complete an amazing feat. Go to amazing places. Experience the world. LIVE. That's what I want.
Here's my take on this whole "quarter-life-crisis" thing. It's this condition that people get when their in transition. When I mean transition I mean a pivotal or key moment in life where change is either coming is about to happen. Quiting my job and finding my next career has been more of a journey to find what I really want.
I really thought it my old job was going to be my career. But now I'm off to something else.
I'm on the "other side" where the grass is greener and I'm just finding which land I want to build on.
I'm a big fan of signs. That everything happens for a reason. These next few weeks I'll find my reason. Can't wait.
