I had something of an epiphany earlier today, having to do with the fact that I'm 26, and planning to live to be like 100 or so.
Sometimes it seems like it's taken a long time to make me who I am -- I've gone through schooling all the way through undergraduate, and have been in the workforce for about 4 years, learning all sorts of random things, some of which have to do with my chosen profession (animal keeping), some of which are a total random tangent (Renaissance festival??), but all of which have made me who I am -- which I cannot expound upon here, as I make up far too much (let's go out for coffee and I'll tell you all about me, ^_^)
-- but even with all this effort, this schooling, this experience, sometimes it can seem that I've not accomplished much, or not as much as I would have liked, and to that I say:
All of this -- the first 26 years of my life, plus however long it takes -- has prepared me for the rest of my life.
I've only just begun. And I have No. Regrets.
I'm feeling very empowered right now. You can have some, if you like. :)
Love to you all,
