Getting lost is good. I'm from a pretty weird generation. We’re the tail end of Generation X. Let’s see: our grandparents were the Greatest Generation because they survived the Depression and fought World War 2; our parents are the Boomers, whose sheer numbers mean that our culture is always defined by how old they are; we’re this forgotten generation that offers nothing but Doc Martins and flannel as a fashion statement. Generation Y is the multi-tasking, tech savvy, ADHD and utterly selfish crew. We sorta slip through the cracks. We’re lost. But we’re avid students of the world. One feature I’ve noticed is we go to places with no particular plan, we often just let things happen. Sometimes the greatest thrill is ending up in a strange place with no sense of direction. Some of life’s greatest lessons are learned when you take that wrong left.
