Birthday blog (late as usual)
32 years old:
I'm nearly two weeks late in my annual one-more-cycle-around-the-sun update. There are tow main reasons for the delay. 1: I've been busy. 2: I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to write what I need to write.
I've learned a lot about myself this year. Unfortunately, not everything I've learned has been pleasant, and I've learned much of it by making some major mistakes. I'm going to skip the details. Suffice it to say that I'm working on becoming a better person...and I'm sorry.
This year, I've also resolved to quit talking about how things used to be. Instead, I will work toward making things happen the way I want them to (or I will shut my mouth). No more talking about how I used to be a kung fu badass. Instead, I will intensify my workouts and hone my technique until I am once again a kung fu badass. No more reminiscing about how I was an artist and an activist. It's time to start making things again--meaningful things.
No more lamenting the things that I've left behind. It's time to get them back or say goodbye.
No more waiting for happiness to happen to me. I will be happy.
This is the lesson of my 32nd year.
