Figuring out this life

Is it true that we spend our 20s trying to figure out what we want and then our 30s trying to get it?

And how do we know what we really want until we have it?

We've all had those experiences where we want something so badly that we'd do anything for it, but then when we get it we realize maybe that "thing" isn't so great after all.

Yeah...things we want. Like being a political reporter at a daily. Going on an "adventure". Then you realize it's all meaningless and stupid and not worthwhile. Blah.

Like I said, how do we know what we want or don't want until we get it? You know, take it for a test run.

Circumstance also plays a factor. Being a political reporter at a daily is probably fine under normal professional circumstances, but change those circumstances to something else and the experience changes.
