I live in an incredible city, with an incredible boyfriend, and have a great job, but I can easily forget these facts when I am preoccupied with thoughts of moving up in the professional world and the end of my lifelong journey. In the culmination of my quarter-life crisis, two things were brought to my attention: (1) I have tons of time for everything I want out of life, (2) embracing my time in DC means more adventures to experience. In my attempt to embrace the nation’s capital (and life in the present) , my boyfriend and I trekked to The National Mall to picnic by The Lincoln Memorial and just enjoy the amazing city we live in. Nighttime strolls, followed by lime popsicles, make for a great way to live in the moment. Quarter-life crisi averted. For now. Because I am restless and live for adventure.
