4 more months of learning.
Ya know, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and it has occured to me that the year of 2006 has been one of learning. In this year alone I have learned more about myself, people, life, human existance, all of it, than I have in my whole lifetime. I keep finding myself thinking "If I only knew then what I know now." But that is what life is all about I suppose. Living and learning. My favorite quote from Ani DiFranco is "A lesson must lived in order to be learned.". How true that is. I've found that I often have to learn most of these lessons the hard way, and I'm not sure I would change that about myself anyway, but sometimes it can be a pain in the butt. I actually cannot remember what I was doing for New Years this year, as that may often be the case for many, but I do know that I was a completely different person. If I met the person I was January 1st, 2006 today, I don't think I would recognize myself, but oooohhhh the things I would tell myself. My concerns of that time were nothing in comparison to the ones of today, but those thoughts and concerns I once had, led me to the place I am in now. Well, here's to another 4 months of learning. Today I can feel the changing of seasons and despite the trials and tribulations of my life, I can't help but feel the effect of autumn coming in. A time to just take a deep breath, relax, and know that as all good things must come to an end, so must all the bad. I personally, can't wait.
