"So... do you have a girlfriend?"

"So... do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, not at this moment."
"Well, then I will have to take care of that. I will get you a nice girl."
I laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Well, knowing your track-record, I am just worried that you will actually achieve it."

Taken out of context, this conversation that took place somewhere in Asia might actually be interpreted as something very very different. It was actually a nice conversation with a very nice lady that I have had the chance to work with in the last few years.

The thing is that it made me think of where I'm headed. I have become successful at a tender age (or at least I like to think so) and the real challenges ahead - in the short-term at least - look to be of a personal nature, not really professional.

Life is going well in general, but we can always have the discussion around women. What if I'm not really intended to find the woman of my life in the next few years... what if (worst-case scenario) I will never find the right one?

I guess I have just learned one very important thing about myself: I have changed so much I barely recognise the things that used to be fundamental... the things I used to live for. Is that bad?

No idea. I guess I will just have to figure it out as I go along.
