More monks and nuns came, building more monasteries perched high upon the cliffs. Wikipedia reports, “Access to the monasteries was originally (and deliberately) difficult, requiring either long ladders lashed together or large nets used to haul up both goods and people. This required quite a leap of faith — the ropes were replaced, so the story goes, only ‘when the Lord let them break.’” UNESCO World Heritage says, “The net in which intrepid pilgrims were hoisted up vertically alongside the 1,224 ft. cliff where the Varlaam monastery dominates the valley symbolizes the fragility of a traditional way of life that is threatened with extinction.” Photo #1 by Vaggelis Vlahos A view of Meteora monasteries in Greece.

How to be a 20-Something Be really attractive. Your acne is gone, your face has matured without having wrinkles and everything on your body is lifted naturally. Eat bagels seven days a week, binge-drink and do drugs: you’ll still look like a babe. When you turn thirty, it’ll become a different story but that’s, like, not for a really long time. Reestablish a relationship with your parents. Go from eating delicious food at your parents’ house to eating Ragu tomato sauce over Barilla noodles. Move into an apartment on the corner of Overpriced and Dangerous. “Date people who you know you’ll never be able to love.” Read the New York Times piece, “What Is It About 20-Somethings?” Work at a coffee shop but feel hopeful about your career in advertising, writing, whatever. Date people who you know you'll never be able to love. Eventually all these nobodies will make you crave a somebody. Start your twenties with a lot of friends and leave with a few good ones. Form the habits that will stick with you forever.
