Life moves on
It's just this time of year, I just can't help myself from looking back to 2003 and all the things that have happened since then. I mean, it's amazing how some things are still exactly the way they were and others, well, gone or unrecognizable.
*A year ago I was in Johnson VT, half joking around with the idea of transferring out. Now I'm here in Bow again, going to UNHM and holding my dog in my arms every night.
*Jordan and I were still that.... Jordan and I. Now all I know about her is what I hear through other people.
*The thought of the darker side of society was there, but not acknowledged, and I'd never seen how horrible people actually can be. Now I've seen it first hand by being a juror on a rape trial.
*People I can honestly say I never thought I'd see again have re-entered my life, and friendships that I never imagined would me so much to me have formed, while people that I never thought I'd lose touch with are gone.
I guess the thing that amazes me the most is how much has changed in the last 2 months, let alone a whole year. I know I'm going to have to write a long entry about Jordan alone, there's just so much that needs to be put down on paper, so much that I want to leave behind for this New Year. It's amazing how you can look back on life and see things that you never saw at the time. I wish I had known half the things I know now. How can a year be so long and so short at the same time? I guess it's just something I'll have to meditate on.
