180s

If I got the story correctly, there was this guy at MTV whose sole job was to control the company-owned digital billboard in Times Square. I've never met him but lots of people know who he is because he's been doing that for like almost 20 years. But he recently left to dedicate his full time to his little ice cream company in Long Island that's starting to take off! And I think that's so amazing! I love when discoveries and secret passions like that emerge, seemingly out of nowhere.

The same thing happened when I was an intern at a "hip" "downtown" "fashion" magazine. The receptionist quit suddenly to become a zoologist. Who knew she was even that into animals?

Anyway, point is, here's a thing about getting older: Things that people used to characterize you with in high school are drastically different than the things people characterize you with in college, and beyond that, in the workforce and other realms of reality. Rightfully so. But when in your life did you feel at your truest self? When would others say was your truest self?

Sometimes I hear my mom saying she's going to shave her head and turn into a monk and live in a temple in the mountains. I don't know if she's joking or not. It usually stems from her being frustrated with her grays and wanting to get rid of her hair completely as to not worry about it anymore....so maybe it is a joke (but she's also crazy). Either way, she's someone who has a plan of action still untapped.
