Reflection.
Today started out normal enough. Woke up to Sienna and Lilu wrestling in the living room, then watched Hustle & Flow. 36 Mafia winning an Oscar is ridiculous, but that's besides the point entirely.
So what is my point?
Tonight was a night of reflection. For some reason Chris and I looked at pictures, from waaayy back when, of us when we...as Chris put it..."sucked".
We did suck. We were terrible at life to be honest. To think that it was only 3 years ago, is unbelievable. We looked at our xanga, and until now I didn't realize how completely different we were as people. I read the posts, and even though it was 3-4 years ago, the maturity level seems about 6-7 years different. It's amazing what puberty does to young boys' minds.
Reading those old post made me kinda happy in a way. I was very awkward back then. In appearance and attitude. But...I've grown up a lot since then. Okay...so not in height really, but maturity yes. Everyday I'm getting a little older, wisdom teeth (which suck) to having to shave more often (also sucks)...but at least it's the beginning of an eventual adulthood.
But man, were we bad with girls, and life, and just interacting in general. What a difference having a car makes, and what a difference 3 years make.
Okay, so maybe we have off days here and there nowadays...but it's really sooooo much better now than it was then. Which makes me happy. Happy for now, and happy for the future.
So I need a job, and to get some of my shit together now, but honestly, I'm just happy to be living life. And that's kinda what you need to do.
My three words about life? It goes on.
