Looking back over a scratchpad from several years ago, there are some corollaries I’ve noticed – a sense of uncertainty, the struggling of friends trying to find their way, and my interests, which haven’t changed all that much.
I think there are aspects of life that we notice when we get to glimpse thoughts we had previously, aspects we may neglect if we’re not paying attention. There are patterns in our lives, and that gives us direction, if we can take notice.
