Now for a real entry...

Two and a half year have gone by.  In the gap between 14 and 17 I would have expected to transform more, maybe into what I have always wanted to be.  I haven't transformed, but I have learned so much about myself that I am often taken aback by the self revelation

You are a beautiful writer.

And believe me, I completely understand.
The pitfalls are all too familiar for me.

But it is a beautiful world.

Have you read any poetry by Jack Gilbert?

Thank you Emily. I enjoy your writing style also...very poetic! But I would except as much from you.

I don't think I've read any Jack Gilbert. A new recommendation?

:]
Thank you.

Yes, there is a poem in a particular that comes to mind when you talk about "striving towards that invisible mass of a future that I find to be such a difficult concept to grasp."--the individual you seek to be.

The poem is called Bring in the Gods.
I'll send it to you if you'd like.

I think I'll look it up :)

Well, I thought I would save you the trouble, but I can't find it. Send away!
