On a trip to Nicaragua in 2011, I met a man who simply asked "what is it you want to do every morning when you wake up?" A fairly straightforward question that I had absolutely no idea how to answer. I knew bits and pieces of my ideal responce. I knew what I didn't want to do. But for the most part, I found it difficult to reply. The anxiety of being 26 and not knowing how to answer gave me good reason ... read more
