Re-Relevant

This has been around since the beginning of may, but i can't help but think it couldn't have been said any better ... it's a snippet from a Relevant article by a guy named miles werntz. check out the whole thing: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/article.php?sid=3446

Twenty-six. You start wanting the better things of life. You start dreaming of your first new car, the first place where your name is on a mortgage, furniture that wasn’t first holding milk. ...

You start wanting stability, faithfulness— not only from yourself, but also from the world around you. It’s more than wanting a permanent address; it’s wanting Van Morrison to not go out of fashion again, or needing Ani DiFranco to be a little more mainstream. It’s wanting your life to be able to move in tandem with someone else’s, if only for forty years or so.

It’s wanting your life to fit in without giving in. It’s wanting your life to be more than a collection of cultural references, and needing it to be a marker towards something greater than yourself.
