Hi there - btw, I followed your what makes you happy thread and it made me happy just seeing all the discussion and support. Here is what I really know that my 20-year-old self did not know: the restless longing continues all your life, and that's a good thing. Have goals, have projects, engage with the world as much as possible

    I want an Earth full of wonder and mystery
you wrote. Let that restless longing drive you. We think that we journey uphill to get to the top of the mountain -- but that's not it. We need a mountaintop in order to have a journey. The journey itself IS the destination, is your life... but I probably wouldn't have had a clue what I'm talking about when I was 20.
