And Many More

Today is my 23rd birthday and I think the first that I've really been able to dedicate to the traditional activities of introspection and reflection on the years that came before. There are a few reasons for this, the most important being that my years as an official student are over (for now) and my life as an "adult" has begun. Yet no matter what winding path my thoughts have taken through my memories over the course of the day, they've always brought me back to one recurring theme: I am so lucky. I feel like I've already received a whole lifetime's worth of blessings in the short twenty-two years I've lived. To attempt to enumerate them here would be futile. I don't think a person can ask for much more than that.

One question remains: what am I to do with all of this? I'm still trying to figure that out myself. I'm doing the best that I can.
