Sometimes it's like everything comes full circle. The only thing to change are the names and dates. Everyone you meet is someone you've known before and every new experience pales in comparison to the one last time.

Sad outlook i know, but one that is true nonetheless. I think I've just become too rooted and jaded being here for this long. Life is stale, no doubt about that. But in the interim I've learned a great deal -- so much so that I frequently impress myself with the conclusions i reach and the problems i solve. That is a pretty big glimmer of hope that is all me...no one else.

Confidence comes with that and it's something I've never really had an abundance of. Almost like knowledge is power, confidence is king. It's the ability to take a stand and get something done or sort out and deal with the problems encountered. I kinda like it.

So coming back full circle means that this star is rising. Took me long enuf but ehh whatevz. I took the long road, so sue me. I'll tell you what tho, the people and places I've met along that way have helped me more than anything else. And I'm eternally great full for that. I regret nothing, for i could have not done it without them.
