I realize this is only a partial list of the questions I've been asking myself lately. But I think it gets to the root of the problem. I've turned around and changed into a semi-responsible, contributing member of society. It scares the hell out of me. I can do things I never thought were in the realm of possibility. I made it. I think that here, nearly 26 years old, and just graduating with an Associate's Degree, hey at least I finished something, I realize I might actually be a functioning member of society. It's a proud moment, I'm proud of myself. I worked hard and changed my evil (ha ha ha) ways. I typed all this and now I don't want to publish it because it seems silly.

I've got a pretty logical plan for my future, which I'm pretty sure I haven't had since I wanted to be an animal doctor when I was about 5. I think it'll all work out for the best, but the first day you realize it, it scares the living hell out of you.
