A quiet happy birthday to me.
Twenty four years and I'm not sure much has changed.
I guess I know more about computers.
Sometimes it seems I'm always sad. That's not true -- most of the time I'm actually doing pretty well, even out here in California. But sometimes it seems like I'm always sad, always angry, always scared. Always filled with negative emotions. That's what comes out a lot on here, too; I think part of the reason I maintain this blog is so that I have somewhere to vent negative emotions.
I have a lot to be happy about. I'm well educated, I have a bright career budding before me, I have good friends and family who loves me and -- just as importantly -- who I can respect and like. I'm healthy, I have no real enemies, no one I'd really rather never see again (or worse), and very few regrets. There is little that I can think of in the past 24 years that I would change. I like where I am, and I generally like where I've been to get here.
So today I'm taking a page out of Leslie's book: I'm going to concentrate on the positive. I'm going to think about all the things that make my life as awesome as it is -- and it's really pretty awesome. I'm not going to worry about girls or school or how far away from home I am. Today I'm going to drink tea, nurse some nostalgia and, if I can pull it off, sit out in the sun.
