late quarter life crisis

It's kind of weird that im 27 and im just starting to have my quarter life crisis. i've always tackled life one day at a time. I've had plans, never long term ones but at least enough to give me a good start in life. i always love to try new things and if you look at what i do, i constantly try to find ways to challenge myself: learn a new language, play a new sport, force myself to write...
yet i take life way too easy. i still don't know what i am going to do with it.
so now... 4 months before my wedding i'm panicking because i don't have any direction.
i like my career but if i could change it i probably would. i love to travel. so anything that will get me to a lot of places and challenge my brain at the same time is great. if only i could find the right job ^_^
a friend of mine once asked me: "what would you be doing today if you didn't have to go to work?"
so starting today i will answer that question. hopefully, i find my answer.
been going to the gym everyday. well, 5 times a week. went swimming last week ad im going wall climbing tomorrow.
but the real question is: what would i be doing if i didn't do all that tomorrow?

btw. please check out chaotic weddings. hehe will probably update that more. i hope.
well... hope is free.

Pia, your true color is Red!

Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.
