to quote an eloquent stranger.

"At the end of it, I realized that I was older, more used up, and less attractive than when I had started."

end of a decade.

“I want to say something upbeat about 2010. You know, start on a good note. But it seems so artificial. I don’t think we need to magically be in a great place at the end of a year. Or magically know our goals to start off a new year. I think, sometimes, that it’s already magical that every day we wake up with the strong belief that we can make things better.”

Happy New Year, folks.
Let's make the coming decade much better than this past one.

still young.

I certainly don't know everything, but I'm still pretty young.

I have officially entered into my 23rd year of existance, having completed twenty-two about 40 hours ago. I don't know how I feel about it yet.

From about the age of 5 until about 15, everyone thought that I was going to become writer one day. Can you believe that? I used to be a writer. Not that you can tell from this awful blog site, but I used to be good at writing. Then everyone thought that I was going to become a photographer or an artist of some sort, so I pushed aside the idea of becoming a writer and let my talent and skills crumble.

I feel like I should return to writing. It would be a good exercise for me in expressing myself with words (which I am very bad at) and being concise too (which I am even worse at). I just need someone to keep me accountable.

So, Resolution #3:
Write more.

email exchange between momma t & me.

Hey Mom,

to the extent that it's absurd.

This is actually incredibly heartbreaking.
