Financially/professionally things have worked out much better than I could have anticipated, and I wouldn't wish for a different business path (at least so far), but damn if I'm not sure that I know how I want to spend the rest of my life.

I feel strongly that I'm still going to navigate through differnet, bigger roads; but there's definitely something inside of me that says I won't be completely happy long term socially in the online internet industry. My life that's keeping me satisfied now as a single, near 22 year old won't still be what I'm interested in a little further down the road. I think a lot of younger people in this internet industry are going to be going through a lot of soul searching in the future.

That's what I see as well, carreer wise, life couldn't be better. The way I was going through University, I was being socially programmed for a boring life working at some Fortune 500 where I would likely have gone insane making someone else rich. Thankfully that didn't turn out happening and I couldn't be happier with where my business / carreer are going. The social life though is something entirely different and I really do hope I can change where that is going since I'd rather a balance of the two than being misserable.
