I had coffee with Marz this afternoon and we spent a lot of time catching up--she got promoted and is having the time of her life with her new position. So she told me a lot about her new schedule and how she loves that the days just seem to fly by and even if she is exhausted, at the end of everyday she goes to bed fulfilled. :) I also told her about a couple of opportunities I've come across thanks to this blog and IFB and how well things are going.
All the talk about how great this year's been going inevitably lead to the walk down memory lane and about how 2011 was a terrible year for us because we had to deal with all our 2010 folly. 2010 was the year of throwing things in the air--our cares, feelings, adventures, experiments--and 2011 was when everything that went up came crashing down. We grew up a lot last year and found out the difference between being adventurous and irresponsible, between being in love and being in love with ideas, between being honest and being rude.
Looking back on those things now, I am glad that it happened--I am glad that I was able to be consumed by those ideas and those emotions and was able to come out from all that alive and a whole lot stronger. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world but also, you couldn't pay me a million bucks to go back and do that again: I don't have the energy to be any younger than I am.
