As a 29 year-old who is absolutely FREAKING OUT, maybe if I just imagine my forty-year-old self being that reassuring and self-confident, I can <i>worry</i> less, and <i>do</i> more.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025585706837849280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572782299239196917.post-5859966853224747022009-07-15T09:38:23.259-07:002009-07-15T09:38:23.259-07:00What is this--an attempt at neo-self-therapy?What is this--an attempt at neo-self-therapy?Prince Gomolvilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379935946319015969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572782299239196917.post-42886648286852380382009-07-12T14:21:43.665-07:002009-07-12T14:21:43.665-07:00a note from another of your future friends... you ...a note from another of your future friends... you smile stays as brilliant. your acceptance of others inspires them to be more open to people they would perhaps step away from. your loyalty to those you care about is humbling...and, yeah, the hair is rockin'.quin brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804746948797234402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572782299239196917.post-22455731291926423772009-07-11T19:10:42.337-07:002009-07-11T19:10:42.337-07:00Your 17 year old self had some big hair.

Nice work.<br /><br />And by the way, I loved you as a 17-year old. You were vivacious, funny, and one of my favorite people. I'm thrilled to see you back in my world again, even if it's only through cyberspace for now.
