I Don’t Want To Miss It! What? EVERYTHING!

Well, that's a high bar you've put for yourself, don't you think?

People are nowadays so anxious about experimenting 'enough' things and therefore they switch jobs, partners, hobbies, travel destinations, everything because there is just so much everything to experience!

Yeah, the whole world actually. And although budget travel is now available, the world is still quite big.

Globalization made the world open for everyone and do we want to see it!

But we might be having a swell of options. Because when we realize how many jobs there are, it is easier to change it. But 20 jobs do not look good on your CV. The same with partners, the grass is always greener on the other side, but there is a lot of grass too. And how people are now counting the countries they have visited, events they have been and courses they have taken. (Don't even get me started with 'lifelong learning).

I remember when I was a kid and everyone spent their holidays (even abroad) in the same place, the same hotel for 20 years in the Canary Island. I wonder how many millennials (not to talk about the Alphas) are going to do that? I don't think that many would because they have used to the idea of going around the world, knowing different cultures and experiencing new things. And of course, what previous generations did, is something that new generations won't do, because they see it as old and lame.

I usually get the All -feeling when I read rotten tomatoes; "There is no way I have time to see all these recommended movies/series!" Or when I go to the bookstore; "No way I have the time to read all these interesting books (or afford them), I'll just have to queue for those I find the most interesting in the library".

I also feel kind of sad that I am not able to have the hobbies that I know I would enjoy a lot, for economical reasons but for time reasons as well. My parents didn't pick the right hobbies for me when I was a kid and therefore I quit all of them, and now I am kind of missing being part of the things that really interest me. With hobbies, I do feel that I am missing something important because when I see my kids coming from their hobbies they are so happy. I have noticed that on hobby days they never argue or misbehave, but the opposite, they help me with my chores!

But that's life! You cant always win. And at least I have this blog as a hobby and it's not expensive or time-consuming, and it's actually a great hobby because I can have it for the rest of my life. I cant do exciting sports things when I am 80 years old, and if I can't write, I can talk and record it straight on the computer. The Alzheimer's gene does run in my mother's side, but this is not the decade of my life to stress about it!

But back to the actual topic, sometimes it feels like the word moderation has vanished from the dictionary, it's either nothing or everything. Thank New Age God that I live in a small town where it is hard to try and experience everything possible. Too much nature and quiet streets for any type of marathon. Or, maybe that's actually good for a marathon run, but you know what I mean.

I know that now I should give a solution to the problem, as I have read that blogs that offer solutions to problems are those that succeed the most.

But I don't have a solution, why?

Because there are so many options to choose from!
