i'm lucky to have touchstones.
Rach: i have a feeling there are people, maybe i don't know them, but they are just so good at life. they just do it easily.
Emily: yeah but they are boring
Emily: look its like the tolstoy thing
Emily: happy families are all alike but unhappy families are all unhappy int heir own way...but that makes them INTERESTING.
Emily: also this is all an incredibly ironic conversation sicne i have had the exact same one in reverse like 8 times this week.
I've been having the same existential quandary as of late, and I've noticed that several Tumblr's have as well. I feel like I had a much better handle on my life when I was 18 than I do now, when I'm 26.
I once mentioned this to my friend, the fact that I was uncertain about my path in life, that I thought i was further and further away from figuring it all out. He responded with:
"But that's what keeps us young. Looking for answers, trying new things. Having the balls to do a complete about face when you didn't think you had it in you. When you finally do get it all figured out, when there's nowhere left to turn - that's what scares the shit out of me."
