Oy!

When I was in high school, I used to write up a list of things that were going on in my life on my birthday, along with my favorite things at the time, friends, etc. I've decided to start doing it again, as I haven't for at least 17 years or so. I recently discovered one such list in the garage in an old shoe box that I've been keeping old notes and such in. It's a little frightening, as many of the same things I was dealing with as a 21-year old are the same things I'm dealing with now. Have I grown at all??? It's a little disheartening.

You know what? It doesn't matter. Nothing really changes. The core of who I am is no different now after 16 years--I've just learned to deal with it a little bit better.

I'm in a bit of a funk today.
