Jan 2024

even the parts that suck r exactly what i asked for. i got to live the life i saw in my 20s to the hilt.
i got to take my shot at several big dreams, and even those that fell flat i cherish. i got my at bats.

and i have way more regrets for the things that i didnt do than the things i did. pretty sure the wishes my mom had when she brought me home from the hospital were exceeded. (it’s her bday today. she wd have been 111. 2 time cancer survivor.)
