When I was younger I thought I knew everything. Maybe when I'm older I'll be too set in my ways.
All I know is that right now I'm keenly interested in other people's stories and trying to glean everything I can from them.
Our friend from choir, after living with a brain tumour for ten years, has passed away.
I am sad of course, but I am also reflecting on mortality in general Perhaps it is a selfish, or at least self-centered reaction to the death of an acquaintance, but it is a very human one. As I think about my friend and how he lived with the knowledge of a shortened lifespan, I can't help but think about what I'm going to do with my life.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I also want to create a full life for myself, and I feel like I'm a bit behind on that. I have been feeling down but I just need to keep working on my goals.
There has been some interesting conversations this week. I hope I'm learning what I need to learn.
