Social networking has replaced good old hanging out. At least, that's how it looks like to me. No one ever says "Hey let's go get a cup of coffee!" anymore. I suppose some people find it comforting though. I know I do. It's just awkward when you decide to show up at some shindig (whoever says that anymore?) trying to keep the subject off of "what have you been up to these past few years?"
People tend to measure achievement by the amount of time you've spent doing something. A profession perhaps. No one ever measure success by how happy you are anymore. It's always about how much you earn on a monthly basis. Six-figures usually define it. When you're just happy? That's when people assume you have been bumming around all these years wasting your life away and the statement "I'm happy" doesn't cut it.
Well. I am happy. Six-figure or not.
