It's been a while since my mind has been able to unleash - it's been well over a year - so there's a whole lot of congestion in there. Thanks to some smart and well written blogs that I have had the pleasure of reading recently, I got [sort of] inspired.
It's pretty late so I'll keep it concise.
So here we are. It's the year TWENTY TEN. That doesn't even sound right, does it? We're in the future! How the hell did that happen?
(On a side note, wtf is 2000-2009 going to be called? The zeros? The 2000s? It's so awkward!)We're only five years away from the "future" in "Back to the Future Part II"!! Sorry for the dorky reference, I know some people will understand why it's so traumatizing. (I can write a whole thesis on the subject!)
I entered the first decade of this century at 21, and came out swinging at 31. I'd have to say the theme for these fine ten years of my life can be summed up in one word: adulthood.
Life's going to slap you in the face, over and over again. It's inevitable! Bad news, deaths, bills, betrayals, lies, secrets ... all that drama you have to hate but love to know.
You either gotta grow up and deal with reality or you can be a big baby and run away and cry a river ... thus ensuring that you will be just as ill-equipped to deal with your next life trial.
Right up until the very last days of December '09 there were lessons for me to learn and grow from. It always sucks in the moment [and sometimes I WILL throw child-like tantrums] but it's worth the torment if I walk away stronger and sharper.
Hindsight it 20/20, my darlings - I think mine is 20/10. Unfortunately for me, my foresight has major astigmatism.
My betterment is my #1 priority in the first one-third of this year.
