That's a problem I've been having for about a week now. I spent all this time making my blog look like I wanted it to - I think I achieved that - but not much time narrowing down what I wanted to write about.
A co-worker told me to, "think about where you want to be in five years and make sure that what you write about now is something you want people to see then, not now."
That was a good point, but it also made me think. What do I want to be when I grow up? Or, better yet, what did I want to be when I grew up? Now that I'm 30, I kind of feel like I have grown up.

I'm happily married to the love of my life. We own a condo (i.e. mortgage), have fabulously great friends and family, and I work at what I feel is my 'dream job'.
I've spent such a long time trying to think about what I wanted to be when I grew up that I kind of grew up without noticing. Now, that doesn't mean I'm 100% mature, close to death (I hope!), or have achieved everything I had planned. But, it does mean that for the first time in a long time, I'm happy. I'm happy and proud of who I am and who I have become.
As my dad said when I came out to him (he's a man of few, but very meaningful words), "are you happy? Because as long as you are happy, I'll be happy. That's all I will ever care about because I love you and I want you to be happy."
Guess what, dad!? I'm happy, and I like this feeling.
