You know when something hits you and it just becomes oh-so-clear, and you wonder why it never was so apparent in the past, although people have tried to explain it and simplify it for you?
Well, I've had that happen to me quite a bit lately. It's as if I turned 26, and then boom, everything is crystal clear. Age twenty-six is like a clairvoyant representation of what is to come. While I've learned a lot, and I've changed quite a bit more in the past five years, I feel like the time leading up to and since I turned 26 has been exponentially more beneficial. I don't know if it's because I graduated from law school, took the bar (and passed it!), and left the country for the first time ever, but it's such a wonderful feeling. There are so many things I understand now that I wish I knew even a few years ago, because I would have been a much happier person then, as I am now. But I guess that's all part of the growing up process, anyway. Whatever it is, I feel incredibly lucky that I have had this fortune.
I was driving along last week, and I had a realization, and it went BAM and smacked me in the forehead. And it was great.
Here's to more wonderful things occurring over the next 10 months until I turn 27. And who knows what that will bring?
