Things that never really go away.

grrltastic I'm here, on what is essentially the eve of my new life, missing 2011. Again. Still. I don't know.
Objectively, I know that I was desperately miserable during that time. But at the same time, my good days were so much better than anything I get now. I was building myself up from scratch and had nothing but potential. And I knew it.
I dunno. Stable, adult life is just so... tepid. I hate it.

And vacation days!
Just think about that: soon you'll have school paid off and be in the black and with digits in the savings account, and throwing darts at a world map to figure out where to take holidays.
Then there's MY plan, Freedom 50. On my 30th birthday I had to stretch it to Freedom 55 but I think 50 is attainable again once I graduate. That is, of course, the year I plan to be able to retire. If I'm still working after that, it'll be because I enjoy my work too much to stop. Life goals. Adulthood doesn't have to be either in a rut or out dangling on the edge, there are other options. :) Congrats again on living up to your potential by finishing school and launching a career! Yay you did it!
