I have been writing in a journal on an almost-daily basis since I was 17 years old. This is a record of me going through each entry from the beginning, and commenting on the me from fifteen years ago.

All of my life, I have always wondered about this world. Even though people will lay down facts for me or go into great detail of the workings of the universe, it always seems to me to be one step aside. Things are always distorted, out of reach or just strange. I’ve never met anyone who understands these…things. My world, even with all it’s geography, physics, world culture and the like, is still the strangest thing I’ve ever known. Perhaps my next life will be more ~~~ in tune. I hesitate to say better, because this one has been the best. I loved it and wouldn’t trade my madness for the world or the world after.

This goes out to anyone who isn’t happy with their life - change it. It really is in your control, and the only thing keeping you from happiness is you. Feel like you need a big change? Make one. Want a new job? Get one. Don’t be like the old me, hoping that the next life will be better. Work on the one you have now.
