are we the smart ones?

someone mentioned today that "we are the smart ones"....
we acknowledge the fact that this is the time of our lives when things are transient...
we are constantly evolving...constantly learning...constantly growing...
starting from the age of 21...we are thrown into the jaws of life and left to fend for ourselves...
we learn how to be independent...we learn to survive...we learn to make do...we learn to co-exist...etc...
we transition from college life to working life...and for some married life...
careers come and go...relationships come and go...
nothing is absolute...nothing is set in stone...at least not yet...
we choose to explore...we choose to break free...we choose to risk it...
why? simply because we are young and this is the best time to explore...

i realize that who i was 10 years ago is different from who i am now...
who i was 5 years ago is different from who i was 10 years ago...
i'm constantly evolving...trying new characters...seeing which one fits...
and its similar with relationships...
we try on men like they're shoes...if they fit then its all good...
if they don't...then its on to the next one...
but u see...things can change too...
i might need something for warmer weather...
i might wear out my old shoe...
then its time to move on to something else...
might not necessarily be something better...but it will be something that fits...
the process just continues...
i jump from one career to another...one man to another...one country to another...
all in search of the one that fits...
i'm not going to commit to one particular thing and revolve around it because life takes us in all sorts of directions...
and now is the best time to do it...

but the question is...are we the smarter ones?
are we getting more out of life than others...or are we just wasting our time?
is it better to commit to one thing and concentrate on it?
cause if it is....i'm screwed :P
