Clarity

It's a really worthwhile thing, if you've never done it, to spend some time looking back, given the benefit of time and space, at where you came from and what you've been through. I spend a lot of time thinking in general, but I spend almost all of it thinking of the future. But I'm finding, while preparing for a massive future full of changes and responsibilities coming on pretty fast now, that it's helping me to think about the past. To figure out how and why it all happened. What parts of it I made happen. What parts of it happened to me. How I can make the good things happen again. How I can make sure the bad shit never happens again.
