Have I been too complacent? I have been forced to ask myself this lately. Unfulfilled expectations, self-doubt, disheartening moments, frustration, tears, loneliness – I’ve had encounters with all of these within the last two weeks.

epiphany 9:51 pm
I had an epiphany today.
You are only old if the number of things you wouldn’t do outnumber those you are up for.
You are only a curmudgeon if the number of things that piss you off outnumber the ones that make you happy.
I’m definitely not the first, and fortunately, many things still make me happy.

One of today’s postsecrets:-
I want my face to be infallibly carved with laugh lines when I am old and gray, to reveal the happiness I have lived to know. At seventeen, this is my greatest drive. And I hope it never changes.
