Does your past ever catch up to you? I don't mean skeletons in the closet or otherwise things coming back to haunt you, but just history catching up with the now? I look back on this last year and I am amazed. So much is different, so much is the same and I kind of have been just going on and ignoring it as it happened.

I don't know. I mean, I am pretty proud of what I've accomplished in the last year from volunteer work, to my career, and my travels. I've made a good amount of new friends, I've enriched myself culturally, spiritually, and academically (in my own way, not via classes/school). But, at the same time, there is something missing and it is something I felt or thought I had a year ago.

I just continue hitting these 'milestones' that marked a series of changes last year and it is weird to look back at it in retrospect. The end of June, Nathan's birthday, the 4th of July, The ESPYs!. It is just weird. It is weird, because where I will be in a year seems so much like it will be where I am now, but where I was a year ago was so different. Confused yet? Clearly I am too.

I think I know what I want out of my next year and what I want out of my life, I just don't know how to go and get it.
