The trick is to have your friends be a powerful network of allies and supportive fellow pioneers rather than distractions.
i feel like the best thing i like about myself is that it seems like every day i'm becoming a better person. it's the most wonderful thing to feel like, not only am I growing constantly, but like I will never stop; I will always be able to reach higher and higher places within myself and there will never be an end to it.

Hi Tam, I have no idea how to contact you other than through this oft-ignored channel of communication, but seeing as it is september 7th, I figured I would drop a line here wishing you the best in your 24th year. Its funny, it was seven years ago I drew you a picture of a woman with wings... you were 17 years old. Now we are both older in more ways than we even know! Sorry I missed you at rainbow, I was in Europe, but I will be in Colorado in 2006! We should rip it up haha! Cool. -Anna
