...when a non-jaded peace comes over you during times which otherwise would've caused you misery or stress.
It's strange how 10 years later from when I came to Boston, I find that while in some sense, I haven't changed at all, I've completely changed in others.
The hardest discipline is to maintain a sense of wonder during these years, and not forget that what you believed in the idealism of your youth is still true.... it just needs to be
tempered by hard work and realism, not crushed by it.
You talk big when you're young, but sometimes people just end up giving up and thinking "well what a fool I was."
I think I was not a fool. I've simply realized all of the ordinary steps that must be labored to see the dreams of youth come true, in a way that is different than imagined but the same dream nonetheless.

so are you going to continue to dream big?
@Sangamania - I think the answer to that is implicit in my entry already, no, sang? Or do you not see that?
actually i should have asked, what big dreams do you continue to hold?
@Sangamania - this seems a more appropriate question. Your initial one came off kinda weird or even condescending.
And the answer is too long and convoluted and not one I feel like typing on xanga. Mebbe in person sometime, Sang.
wholeheartedly agree.
