Last weekend I went to my fifteen-year high school reunion. It was really cool to see some faces that I haven’t seen for a long time, but ultimately the whole thing made me feel old. I feel like I’ve been twenty-one for twelve years and everyone else went and became adults. Husbands, wives, adorable children, the whole works.
In three years, graduating from high school will have been the halfway point of my life and I feel like I don’t have all that much to show for it. I don’t necessarily feel unsuccessful; things could be a lot worse. I just feel like I haven’t gone after the things that I want out of life. I realize that not having any clue what I want has kept me from doing so, but that doesn’t really take the sting out of it.
Feh. I was happier before taking a close look at my life.

You know what I say – adjust your zoom. And don’t compare your insides to their outsides.
I’ll let you know when it starts working for me!
