Been thinking a lot about how my 8yo self spent her time lately, and how she'd feel about having the space and resources that I have now to do whatever she wanted. Striving to ditch the noise and make her happy!
Loved your post! Speaking of research and learning, I'm 70 and strive to learn something new every day! (To me, 28 seems so young!) I research a lot of what I read, whether it's from a network, online news source, Facebook, etc. What I get from it, first, is clarification of what I read, and 2, with that knowledge, I can converse with other people about what I learned. I find that fascinating!! I guess my life has more purpose than I thought. 🎉🎊 Sorry I went on so long, but I had thoughts I needed to get out, because of you. Thank you so much for letting me share this. ❤️
Thank you so much for your comment! I hope I can maintain that sort of commitment to learning through the decades like you as well. When I was shy kid, I also liked to learn a wide array of things so it would be easier to have things to talk to people about. Turns out knowledge is a way to connect for the both of us! :)
I'm always a little scared of my birthdays because I anticipate the feelings of fear and excitement having at it in my head.. like some clash of present/past/future. it's weird, haven't processed it, but it feels similar to what you've written. but congrats on the lasik, the move to nyc, and for continuing to write here.. if for nothing else, I think these words are proof that you're figuring yourself out and there's no deadline to submit. happy birthday and thank you for sharing!
