I love your sig quote.  Forster's one of my favorites.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

  • Thank you!  10 years ago I had my life all figured out.  Hahahahaha, the naivet?.

  • Aw.  We all did. 

    I actually find that quote really inspiring.  I'm lucky to be in a really good place right now, but when I wasn't, I just reminded myself not to look at what I was going through as a failure, but as an adventure.  I tricked myself into thinking it was fun and exciting.  And you know what?  Things are legitimately fun and exciting now.

    I thought I had everything all figured out.  I figured way wrong.  But I don't regret a move, because every step led me to exactly where I am right now.  And I really like that place.

     

    And now, I want to curl up with some Forster books, instead of being trapped at my desk.  Boo!

    Words of extreme wisdom!!!
