Memories...

I was cleaning my room today and was putting some birthday cards in a box where I keep old cards and notes. Shuffling through made me very nostalgic...and regretful. I was reading notes from friends from when I was 14 and 15. OH MY WORD!!! I WAS SHALLOW!!!! Ahhh! Notes about boys, and crushes, and all that "difficult" 10th grade schoolwork. I can hardly believe that was my life...thank goodness it is no longer. I can't even grasp being like that anymore. I was so naive! I couldn't believe I was like that.

It makes me wonder if I will look back on my life, as it is now, in 5 years or so and wonder "what was I thinking!?" I certainly hope not. I'd like to believe I have matured and changed and grown as a person but have I really? Or am I just pretending? Maybe I'll never know...but hopefully wisdom will come with age. Heaven knows I could use it.
