It's weird how simple little games like that can really suck you in. Sometimes I actually get pretty nostalgic for my old A.C. village.

People ask me all the time what you do and it's great to have a good understanding of it now. And I, too, can't wait for the videos. Bring on the vlogging!!!! Hope everything went well yesterday!

So many people have asked us what your job involves and this will really make it easier to give a good, concise answer! We are so looking forward to videos of your world over there--from your apartment to its surrounding area and also hopefully the things you see on your way to work, a walk around the park, etc (just in case you needed some more inspiration!)

I relate to your situation a lot because I'm in a similar situation that you are. Unlike you, however, I tend to push thoughts of the future away since they seem so daunting and full of uncertainties I don't want to face right now. Maybe if I took a leaf out of your book, I would find an answer to some of those hard questions (like "Where am I going?," "What is the future going to hold?") instead of living in a state of constant anxiety.

Graduating from college and entering the working world is very much like learning to operate in a new system and with a new currency. Well said.

I really appreciate that you are "acting intentionally to go to experience that in life which truly has value" because whether those actions lead you to Tokyo or south Nampa, it is those actions that should be encouraged. By the way, I hope you get that great appartment, keep us posted! Good post bro-in-law.

Matt, I seriously would pay good money to read what you write, you are very talented.

It makes me feel like I'm choosing to be youthful because even though I'm obviously not out traveling the world, I'm choosing to follow my interests and dreams (although they may be BORING to some). Everytime I try to learn a new knitting technique, or try a new recipe I'm saying, "nope, I'm not satisfied with my stockinette knit dishcloth, I want to be able to knit intarsia mittens, dang it!" :) Anyway, thanks for writing this, you make me think. Which is reason # 24,319,007 why you're great. :) I like this.

Ithought that it wasvery well written,even though I disagree with someof your observations about life. Maybe we can have some further discussions at a later date. Hi Matt,

This was very encouraging to me. I've been thinking about this as well as hordes of relatives storm my house for a family reunion. Most of them are more than 60 years old, and I can tell the difference between the ones who are young and old :) I'm the only person my age, but it's a great opportunity because now I can sit at an "adult" table. By the way, I had a dream last night that had Mickey Rooney from Breakfast at Tiffany's in it. He was a policeman yelling at some kids for sneaking into his secret tunnels. Thank you, Matt!
