The Edge annual question '08
"What did you change your mind about? And why?"
- I changed my mind about … oh god, incredibly corny…. ME. Yup, in 2007, I did a lot of things I worked towards doing. I got my degree! I met kind good people, I kept kind good people, I lost them, I have time. I decided that I'm ready to be unhappy, vain, I'm ready to be excited, I'm ready to hurt people, to love people, I'm ready to fuck up royally and rise up graciously. And all this ties to how I used to see my future, my big bright future. I learned of the possibility of never getting there.
'07 was a slow unfolding opus of growing up and knowing that there will never be a moment when someone taps me on the shoulder to let me know that I'm an adult. There will be no fireworks or email to notify me of my growth or lack thereof as a human being... and I’m ok with that, it just means I need to be more attentive
-and why?
because I realized I am more capable and vulnerable and stupid and relentless and mean and empathetic than I gave myself credit for

*tap* You're all grown up.
Watching it happen, being a part of it in my own little selfish way, and being privileged enough to add it to my own life... I just need you to know that I owe a good part of the good parts of my life to you.
Thank you.
