None of us are perfect. Eat some clotted cream and enjoy your moments of clarity that have, unfortunately, been born out of utter pain. And always write. What a loss it would be if you ceased to write, my dear. :) You are such a vivacious, loving person. None of us are perfect.

While this is completely true, it is really difficult to shake this to a point where it doesn't slow you down to a degree in making lazy choices. Quite likely that as you transition into your thirties you will find the work ethic and professional success you merit, but a little investment now is very much an "ant" vs. "grasshopper" thing to do that will pay HUGE dividends in the future. Just my 2 cents (but with the power of compound interest...).

Sometimes I wakr up in China and think wow this feels so familiar but it can't be because I have never been there before. Yet some part of me says I have been there before and that which is strange is strangely familiar. I go home too and then it is even cooler because I find the memories of new experiences in those old haunts which helps me to move beyond them and appreciate them in the proper perspective something i enjoyed but do not have to cling to. Just when I least expect it a flood of feelings and intuitions overtake my thinking and lead me to somewhere truly beyond the horizon like northeastern China and I know that the world is much larger. It is time to get going and see all of it befor etime runs out. The most beautiful part of life is finding the past somewhere you have never been before.

I do not believe in mistakes. I say live each day with what it brings you and embrace what it gives you. Life takes you by surprise around every corner. Golly gee I missed reading your posts. And here you are again. Lucky me. At 45 it may appear as though I’ve made a lot of mistakes … if I had a magical wand I would NOT change one thing. I do not believe in mistakes.
