25 years. Taking Stock.
I'm probably about a quarter of the way through. I come from very good people. It's very normal for us to make it into our nineties.
Honestly, it's been really really good so far. There are hundreds of highlights i can think of. And any of the "bad" stuff i wouldn't choose to undo.
I have very few regrets, maybe a few things i've done to other people i wish i could undo, but nothing for my sake.
There's a long list of great people who've passed through, that now i've lost touch and don't know who they are really... growing up, moving around, getting busy. but you can't feel nostalgic if things never change, and i love nostalgia.
The people in my life now are amazingly amazing. I feel as close with my family as i always have, things have changed as we've grown up, but nothing has diminished. My friends are incredible. they dream the same dreams i do. I live 100 yards or less from most of them. they love me. and i know some will be around for the rest of my life.
I think I'm right about where people think you're supposed to be at this point.
My first day of grad school was today, i'm getting my masters in Social Work at OSU, which is exactly what i want to be doing (minus the college loans part, but maybe the economy will crash tomorrow and there won't be any banks to payback, God willing).
I have had amazing travels and i'm ready to be home for a bit.
I've had my share of love affairs.
I've participated in a few immature self-destructive activities that you do when you're young.
I'm damn happy with it all. And there's a lot left out there, keep your eyes peeled.
Here's to the next leg of the journey.
