As of late, I have been thinking about how much I have changed since my high school years (Go H-town Lions!!!! -- Wow, its been almost 10 years!). Other than losing the extremely baggy clothes and ditching the coke-bottle glasses for contact lenses (if you ask nicely enough, maybe, just maybe, I'll post a picture), I feel that I haven't changed much. I know that I'm a different person because of all the new people that have shaped my life and all the new experiences that have molded my perspective on life. However, I still feel the same as I did back then (at least I think I do).
Maybe I thought that I would have a eureka moment where adulthood would dawn on me. After this eureka moment, maybe I would understand the elusive meaning and purpose of life. Of course, that eureka moment never came (or I've decided that I don't want to wait for it anymore =D ). Instead, I've come to understand that you learn about life by living. The more that you live life, the more you learn about it. You can't wait around for life to happen - You are what needs to happen. Take advantage of your opportunities before they pass.
Sorry about that. I sometimes get carried away when talking abstractly. I tend to spit out cliche after cliche. Oh well, cliches are merely universal truths broken down into their simplest forms. Ok, I'm getting tired because my train of thought is constantly switching tracks. I'll go ahead and leave you with this song. Reminisce about the past, but never forget to embrace the future...
