When I saw this, I couldn’t help but think of the first entries I made that started this page back in 2022.

It was me addressing myself 10 years prior to that point. A nine-part series that became years worth of sharing, revealing, and advising, with a few warnings woven into all of it.

Though I did not answer this specific post because I knew I’d be taking advantage of the caption inviting more than two words, I’m sure I could shorthand it as if I had only a couple of seconds.

So here it goes:

“39 is a long way to go for you, but that’s when your real education begins. It’ll validate what you always knew in your spirit, and guide you to a future that compliments the art that you used to not only understand and escape reality, but stay in it. I’m proof that you did.”

The first couple of words were only a piece of what I drafted before deciding to make it a post. Maybe I’ll go back to the page and copy that whole thing, after all.

But I like it here, too.
