A few weeks ago I really started thinking about ‘what it all means’. It's hard not to go through that kind of thinking when a friend dies, but it's to be expected.
You can't help but wonder if you're doing the right things for yourself, if you're cheating yourself out of a better future. I don't think I am.
I don't consider myself a late bloomer-cause what the hell does that mean anyways? I just wanted different experiences out of life and I like to think there are still a million options left at my disposal. Hell, I like to think I could still quit everything to become the all-time champion of underwater basket-weaving if I so pleased.

Well said, indeed. I'm not saying this because every two years someone has to, but because it's absolutely true. No matter what dream you're trying to follow, there will always be someone trying to discourage you, usually pontificating about how in their little world everyone should have settled to being a small gear in it at this or that age. I guess it's envy.
