Allow Me to Digress

It’s good to be home.

I cleaned up a cabinet where I put a variety of things I value and also other things that I don’t feel like throwing away.  Rummaging through all those things stored up there for years was like meeting Aileen of the past. I rediscovered pictures, letters, journals, souvenirs, postcards, receipts, musical play tickets, concert tickets, even plane tickets, and all other tickets, expired credit cards (I just can’t throw away a credit card, can I?), among many others. I "unearthed" cross-stitch stuff and stamp collections - hobbies I had long forgotten. (hahaha :)  I read some notes and hand-outs from college that made more sense now to me than 5 to 6 years ago.  I was saying to myself, "I actually wrote that when I was 19?" I felt I was much wiser then than now hahaha… writing about such abstract topics with so much idealism.

I realized how much I’ve changed and how much I haven’t. How much I’ve improved and matured and how much I’ve regressed (admittedly, in some ways). Ok, I hope I was wrong about feeling I was wiser before than I am now. I am much wiser now than I was before.  I should be.  I SHOULD BE!

This is my 10-minute post.  Now I’m getting back to work.
