When I was 18, everyone told me go to college, go to college, don't lose the opportunity, & I understand the reasoning behind it but seeing as how it's 10 years later & the opportunity is still there, I'm not sure what all the rush was about. Sure, I could have graduated & made a pretty penny by now, but if I'd done that, well, first of all, I wouldn't have my Aaron, but secondly, I think I would have ended up back in school anyway because I couldn't possibly be happy with whatever career I would have chosen in my 18 year old mindset. Honestly, I'm not certain I can trust my almost 28 year old mindset. The world tells me I'm an adult. I've grown up & I should know myself by now, but everyday I find more ideas that I'd previously been sheltered from & I wonder how could I know myself without having seen myself in this new light.
"With the power of conviction there is no sacrifice." Right now I find myself entangled in many sacrifices because the power of conviction eludes me, but I have not given up & I feel that power growing stronger within me every day. Right now I might be different from how you have ever seen me before, but I will tell you this, I'm more myself than I've ever been & tomorrow I will be even more so...

Words of wisdom! I find myself wanting more possibilities, simply because I can't just settle on knowing what I know... there are too many amazing things out there, and so many great things I would like to do. I am also glad that I did not stick to what my 18 year-old self wanted for my future. Yikes! There are so many crossroads with what I have done academically that I might be in a completely different place in 10 years, though I guess I can take comfort in having my current experiences as a foundation for whatever is to come.
