Giving My All
I have always been jealous of kids who grew into adults who tell me, “I always knew what I wanted to do.” And they’re doing the thing they always wanted to do. You know what I wanted to do when I grew up according to my childhood? A dreamer. A make-believer. A world-traveler. A singer. A volleyball player. A house designer. I wanted to be all of it. Well, now I’m a grownup. Or that’s what I’m told. It’s taking a lot longer to figure out what I want to do than I thought it would. I know what I want to do with my life. I’m doing it. I’m happy. I have great friends. I have plenty of time. I get to host people in my airbnbs. Read great books. Travel… But, like, I think I’m supposed to want to be more than that. I’m supposed to want to work harder for something. And I do. The problem is if I don’t quite know what that is, well, it’s hard to do it. Can anyone relate?
But here’s what I’m figuring out. Here’s what I want to do. I want to send this newsletter in the mail instead of an inbox. I want to get mail again. I want reality again. I want to be off the machine. If you’d like to receive a letter in the mail, with a little Baxterism (if you don’t know what that is, you can see all of them here.), my musings, and things that inspire me… Here are the details.

I’m keeping it as simple as possible but this has been running through my head and I want to start.
XOXO,

P.S. Tell me what you wanted to be or what you are doing as an adult that you love. Work, play or inspiration.
