When’s the last time you felt accomplished? For me: I feel accomplished today. That’s right. I feel accomplished. “An accomplished feeling” is rare for me. It’s not as as rare as before though. It’s happening more often and a lot more this year.

There are so many things that I am getting done. There are so many non-goal soft goals that I’m achieving and winning. I’m not necessarily doing anything “objectively important” such as buying a house, getting out of debt, getting into a romantic relationship, getting married and having babies. None of that has happened yet.

But what has happened is that I’ve achieved happiness and contentment. I am maturing. I am growing. I am creative and I am creating. I’m doing small things to take care of myself such as keeping on track with my health regimen. I’m peppering my life with new relationships and new experiences. I have redesigned my living space.

And I’m definitely enjoying all the free head space too. It’s so free and spacious in here.

So am I really living? I’d say so. I’m living the zen life. I think that’s cool. I’m cool.
