I want to focus now on who I am instead of what I do.

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

If there has been an easy way to get something done or a hard way - I've done it the hard way every time. I am where I am now because of a strong work ethic, sheer determination, a supportive and loving family - and the good Lord just looks after me. I owe everything to Him.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I am more confident and not very concerned about what others think of me. I am happy with myself although I'm not satisfied with every part of my life. I listen more than I talk; I make better decisions; I laugh at myself more.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself writing, teaching, working...I don't see myself slowing down.

a postcard to my younger self

You know the blonde boy, blue eyes, curly hair in your 12th grade homeroom????

Don't.

You know the older guy, smooth talker, big fancy car?

Don't.

You know the younger guy, likes the Who, really smart but can't get in out of the rain??

Don't.

Remember your dreams of singing and writing and traveling and laughing and dressing up?

Do.

First of all...thank you watermusic and Tree for missing me! It has been a very interesting few weeks. I am still seeing the guy I met on Match, and on paper it still doesn't make sense. At all. read more »
