On the Road

It's time to start. I've had this blog for several years but never actually took the time to figure out how it works. I think a large part of that procrastination is feeling like actually putting my thoughts down and throwing them out there for the world to see, is almost like answering your door naked.  You never know who is going to get a glimpse of the "real" you. And while I think I know exactly who I am, writing it down just opens you up to analysis, both good and bad.

And so this brings me to the burning question of the moment. Why are young adults struggling so much? Struggling to get through school, struggling with career choices, struggling in relationships? Just struggling. Yes, I know this is a generalization and doesn't apply to all young adults.  I just want to understand and, in doing so, attempt to bring focus to the ones in my orbit.  Is this a result of the change of position of the women in our society? Is this an effect of parents caring for these young adults as if they were children? Is it tied to an educational system where everybody is a winner? Or is it just human nature to float along aimlessly?
