The beginning...

"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked.

'Where do you want to go?' was his response.

'I don't know,' Alice answered.

'Well then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'"

When I first came across this snippet from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, I smiled. I suppose it's because it is exactly the type of advise that I'm looking for right about now. Cheshire cat, I thank thee very much. As an almost early twenty-something putzing about this mass that we call planet Earth, I'm finding myself as many early twenty-somethings find themselves: lost. With so many opportunities at my fingertips and so many paths to explore, what I thought I wanted my entire life has now become fuzzy and complicated, and I don't quite know what I want anymore. A quarter-life crisis, if you will.

However, I'm thinking that lost might not be so bad. In fact, recently, I'm starting to think that being lost is quite good. Especially after reading Cheshire cat's advise. No matter which way I go or what path I take, I'll figure something out. Hey, I may even discover myself along the way. Now wouldn't that be some kind of wonderful?

So, cheers to the beginning of this wonderful, little, happy-go-lucky blog and to the beginning of my documented wanderings and ponderings of my wonderful, little, happy-go-lucky life. Enjoy, lovelies.
