I might be the person I used to want to be?
I used to hear about people going away and doing cool, exciting things and living in interesting places that seemed far away and exotic. And now I think I am that person ( Read more... ) -
I outgrew you or did you outgrow me?
Sometimes growing older and learning more, about yourself, about others, about the world, is hard. The hardest thing about it, for me, is when you outgrow something or someone. Saddest is when you outgrow someone ( Read more... ) -
more content, maybe less poetry
I'm not quite sure if poetry is the right way to describe some of my posts (some of which are private so only I can see them. I know this defeats the point of writing on lj but I find it easier to write here somehow. Habit perhaps ( Read more... ) -
