Just clicked an old link that lead to LiveJournal yesterday. Had to login and it wouldn't even let me because I'm accessing from an unrecognized location.
This thing is really a time capsule now, huh? It honestly embarrasses the hell out of me, but what can you do? Delete all that old nostalgia? Seems unfair to the old stupid me and future me who might not be too self-conscious to look back.
Anyway, I went and fixed the dead YouTube link on the last post. To follow up on that the monastery was absolutely wonderful. I remember it as one of the happiest little periods of my life. I think the insights I gained in those weeks would have taken me years outside.
That girl ended up ruining my chances at that though, we're married now.
It's weird. We still fight a lot, and over really stupid things we wouldn't have expected, but even when I'm unhappy I'd still rather be unhappy with her. It's been strange feeling officially grown up and independent, masters of our own lives. I imagine it's been an even bigger shift for her, but it's weird for me too not really having a home back...back at home anymore. Organizing holidays so we can see both families. Making big decisions on things like buying a new car, getting life insurance, etc. It's also weird just how...just how not weird it is too, how normal it feels most of the time, even though my life completely changed in an instant.
EDIT: forgot to add a comic, silly me
