hitailing it down to up

Between the ages of about 15 and 20 I wrote tremendously.

Short fiction, poems, a diary, song lyrics, limericks and even nonsense, much like what can be witnessed in this blog to this day.

Last night I re-read a random selection of diary entries during that phase of my life.

Sometimes I wonder if I would have passed through those years differently given what I have learned since then.

Other times I figure that even knowing what I know now I'd still be the socially award teen I was, irrespective of any learned lessons.
