I’ve still got friendships with people from grammar school, high school, college and from a few jobs. Every part of my life featured a very different person (myself) at different stages of growing up. Whenever I meet up with friends from past eras of my life, I feel a sort of melancholy. No matter how pumped I am about progress made in my life or surrounding decisions I’ve made, there’s always a sobering realization associated with hearing your friends remind you that nothing’s really changed and that much won’t change dramatically in the course of a lifetime.

I don’t let this feeling wash over me too much, and it doesn’t stick, but it is profound. I’m definitely looking forward to this week and so forth… I’ve got a lot to prove.
