sorry for the long delay- for those of you actually anticipating my website, I’m sorry even more…we’ve been without the internet for several days here in the Hawker household and Eric, wonderbrother, has just been over the fix in this evening. I’ve been on a short little hiatus. I liked it. Since I’ve been away I turned 27. It’s the first age that seems old to me.
Completely unrelated to the date of my birthday was the company I kept this weekend. I was able to rub shoulders with four of my good guy friends from high school. That means that I dined out at least three times. *grin* What a wonderful chance to laugh out loud and be reminded of who I am. It came at the perfect time. Growing up isn’t so bad. I used to worry that I would miss my youth (I still have most of it, I know!), but from this far along, I can see that experience will be greater to have than youth. I wouldn’t trade an ounce of what I’ve learned to be 16 again. I’m old enough now to know that I don’t know a darned thing. I’m 27 and I don’t have a clue.
I would, however, like to infuse my 22 year old self with a bit of wisdom that I have since fought hard to obtain: there is no sacrifice made for love that won’t return to you tenfold. If I had known that then, I might not be sitting here now, feeling very separate and far away. It must be a piece of wisdom I’ll need most ardently in the coming years. My body and heart have been bloodied and torn in obtaining it.
please squeeze those whom you love. =)
laura.
