always better in retrospect
i was inspired to read through some old journal entries and couldn't help but notice how miserable i was during the majority of the time i've kept this journal. this made me realize that i'm probably as happy now as i've ever been. i still have a mountain of issues to deal with pertaining to myself but things are fine for the most part: i'm still making straight a's in school, i have the next two years of my education planned out, my family is proud of me, my friends are irreplacable, i love my home, my city and my roommates, i have a job that i actually find myself looking forward to. i could make a much longer list of complaints but they would all seem dim and petty in comparison. but it's not even so much that every thing is right as it is that nothing in particular is wrong. and that's all i can ever really ask for.
