Waffling


I don't normally buy into fads now that I am an adult. Now when I was a kid totally different story. I had the slap bracelets, stirrup pants, hypercolor tshirts, just to name a few. Yea my future kids are in for some fun pictures of mom in her great 90's glory. But now that I'm the ripe old age of 26 I don't really go for all the fads. Sure I try to be fashionable emphasis on try, but the fads I'm talking about now are the ones about people. Everyone one has an excuse now for the way that they are. There is a disorder or disease for everything. People sue McDonalds for making them fat, teachers have to make special lesson plans because Tommy can't sit still because he learns better through movement, or is it because Mommy and Daddy won't tell him to sit down and if he moves he will be sorry like my parents did. These excuses did not happen when I was a kid. But as I sit here I do feel like I identify with one of the fads, The Quarter Life Crisis. But I don't know if it is appropriately named. Yes I am 26 and yes I am questioning my work, life, basically everything. But doesn't everyone do this at some point in their life. Doesn't everyone wonder or wish that they could do something else? How many people are doing what they love to do for work? I know my work is not what I love. But it gives me a very comfortable life that is the means to afford the things that I love. I go back and forth on this issue frequently, so my most recent pondering was this morning while making breakfast. What did I make? You guessed it waffles!
