so my mentor figure has come back into my life
we had lost touch as we each grew busier...
we've been emailing more & i am reminded of how important he has been in my life...
without him i would NOT be where i am today
i'm really lucky to have him in my life
he knows how thankful i am...
but he really did see me through my worst time...when no one even knew i was suffering
but anyways...(not to steal the spotlight from him)
in his latest email he attached an email i had written him to 2001 needless to say it was very very weird to read...
1, i abbreviated & used weird spelling like no other...i used to type so fast with that...now i can't do it even if i tried...(z's in place of s's, sed vs. said, u's for you's, etc)
2, i went into so much detail...he was right...he WAS my blog back then haha....i feel bad now..i'm sorry you had to put up with that...
3, i was kinda interesting (at least in the first paragraph) i thought about stuff i thought i didn't back then...(the paragraph was about us learning in class about a life pyramid (what was necessary for life) & how i felt my life was missing a crucial part) it's weird i don't even remember learning that in high school...because i saw something similar again in ieor171 & i thought it was interesting haha...
4, although i'm a bit more mature i sound the same...i knew i sounded a bit younger but i could see myself saying the same things now & getting away with it...it was kind of weird feeling...i know i've thought a lot of new things since then & experienced more but it's weird to think that i had the same brain with the same capacity then...
5, i always knew i chose to forget...& sometimes i just forgot about things i might've said or things that have happened...but this is the first time it's kind of bothered me...i mean in the past the things i've re-remembered have been bad things so it was good that i forgave & forgot but these are just random tidbits of knowledge & what not & i'm really surprised i don't remember...well i guess i can't remember the detail of every day...so i shouldn't beat myself up over it...but yea...
like always thank you for provoking my thoughts
