Really interesting passage. I have to applaud you for getting to the point your at. I'm working a similar, yet as always different since thats the way it is with personal journeys, myself. I have to apologize though as I was reading your words I couldn't help but think that some of my past actions, and over done drama may have hurt you. A while ago I made amends to many people, but I had never though about making them to friend from North, it was for a different reason then. But well maybe live journal isn't the best place for this but its what I've got so I do wish you the best in everything, and glad to see you seem to have a clear direction to achieve the greatness I've always known you could.

Okay meleodrama, lifetime movie moment done, husband?!? When did you get married, congrats.

What an inspiring blog. Would that I had your discipline, my friend. I rat pack away everything and for some reason can not bring myself to throw things away, even those things which are remnants from times of which I am ashamed or embarrassed. I love you and I'm glad that you're taking healthy strides. I only wish the best of happiness for you....and Greek food!

Well, I finally throw things away when I do things like move. Or about once a year or so I'll get tired of looking at stuff and do a really GREAT cleaning session where lots of stuff gets thrown out. I'm also a pack-rat by nature, but I'm learning that it isn't healthy or comfortable for me to be surrounded by stuff. I love you, too! I hope school is going well! I got to smash a plate of glasses in class today--I love conservatory life. :) Please tell me if you're ever back east again--I miss you!

When I imagine myself "grown up"...

Ah, grown up. I think that's kind of just an idea that we all have but we only get there in behaviors, not in mind and soul. We "grow up" because we have responsibilities and feel an obligation to get things done, not because we get past any immaturity. We just learn to filter it out, I think.

Anyway, I love that you love Baltimore. Yes, it's dirty, and sometimes dangerous and scary, but it is beautiful, too. And how strange that you are right there right now in the city I grew up right next to and now I'm halfway across the country! A cosmic joke, I think.

Well I guess that's all. Just a heads up that I'm trying to read through and catch up on your life. :)

I completely agree. I remember turning eighteen and telling myself, "All right, I'm grown up now!" But then being in the middle of my twentieth year and realizing, "Jesus Christ, I'm STILL just a kid????" Now I'm twenty-three and realizing, wow, I'm growing up and I'm even doing an okay (if belated) job of it. I don't know if I'm filtering out immaturity so much as I'm phasing out the kinds of immaturity that don't get me anywhere. Spontaneity? Keep. Procrastination? Oh lord, can't get rid of that one soon enough ( ... )
