Andrew Meyer and the Meaning of Life

Greetings! Been a bit under the radar as of late. Feeling the need to post more than the usual 145 characters tonight. Life has been quite an adventure as of late. College graduation brought about an urgent need to figure out what I was put out on this earth to do and fly with it. So I decided to go for it and take off for an adventure working for a startup in Colorado. What an adventure it was! Hard work, fun travels, great people and utter failure..haha. I truly met some amazing people who had similar drive to myself, but I realized I was missing something. My skills were not anywhere near up to par compared to these people! So the adventure was short lived and I got to feel a big failure for probably the first time in my life (well..second…but that’s another story). (or third…moving on). This landed me my next and current place of residence…my parents house! Yes, I have become part of the phenomenon that experts have labeled, the Boomerang Generation. Basically it occurs when a budding young adult leaves the nest, lives an independent life for a few years and then returns to the nest. I am not really proud of this and really am trying to do what I can to shake this label off me. Unfortunately the job market is quite scarce and I am forced to take what I can get (leaving me financially unable to deal with rent and student loans). Really is quite frustrating.

So where am I going with this post? Basically I am writing this for myself as a reminder of how I got where I currently am and where I should not be in the next year. It can be quite numbing on the mind to have the constant expectant eyes of parental figures peering at your every move while in a state of experimental soul searching, but I believe I can get myself out of this. Through my past few months in this search, I have come to the conclusion that the drive that got me to Colorado should be used to focus in on myself, one step at a time. This is going to be a time of skill building and experimentation. There are going to be many failures, but I believe opportunities will begin to arise if I keep my head up. Anyways, I think I am going to rest my tired mind for the time being (tonight) and get some rest. I will be posting this unedited, unreferenced and will hopefully be posting more and more as I continue my journey. Happy trails!
