I don't recommend a fast-forward reading of three and a half years of journaling.
I think I have whiplash.
A friend was marking an anniversary, so I got to pondering my own anniversaries, and went for a stroll through my journaled past.
I wonder if my 36-year-old self will be as amazed as my 33-year-old self is reading back three years. Probably.
Hold on, it's a really fast ride with lots of ups and downs and quick corners.
I always did like roller-coasters.
I like the life I have made for myself. I like the people who are in it. I miss a few people who are not around. All that is to be expected I suppose.
What have I learned? Fasten your safety-belt and get ready to scream and laugh until you've got a belly-ache. And if it's too much, just grit your teeth for a few moments and it will all be over soon. There's another ride just around the bend that will probably be a little easier to handle.
Did I mention I also love the merry-go-round?
