This is your life...

Someone shared a version of this on Facebook and I took it one step further and found the full size image. This is the "Holstee Manifesto".  

I grabbed this from their website, "Holstee is dedicated to design with a conscience. To deliver on this, we hold every design accountable for the impact it has for on all people, our planet and the product's quality. 10% of all Holstee revenue is used to empower entrepreneurs in the developing world through micro lending." - http://shop.holstee.com/

Here is that manifesto (click on it for the full size, it's pretty big - print it out and hang it on your wall!) 

When I Grow Up...

I've been thinking recently about where I am at in life. This is not a crisis, of any sort. This is just a mental checkpoint. I'm not trying to "keep up with the Joneses." I'm just being me.

Before the year ends I'll be 31. I still live with roommates. I am not married. I do not have any kids. I have a car payment. I pay rent. And I'm trying to get out of debt, and I'm succeeding. I'm around $50 from paying off m school loan completely.

I have a college degree. I have a wonderful job.

I have great friends and an awesome girlfriend, who I am sure I'm going to spend the rest of my life with.

I feel fine, but... am I where I should be? I guess the answer is yes. I am here and I am me, and that's exactly where I should be. I'm a fond believer of things happening for a reason, but right now I don't feel like I've grown up.

Maybe I have... I don't party every day, or even once a week. I try to go to bed by midnight. I eat bran flakes for breakfast. I love coffee. On my day off, I enjoy doing nothing.

I guess this is it. This is my life. I'm willing to accept that.
