Isn't it funny?

Sometimes in life you look back on how far you've come and you're really impressed.

You look back on the stupid shit you used to do and then you look at yourself now and you're like "Wow! I really have come a long way, baby!"

And you compare your reactions then with your reactions now and you're so proud of yourself and you run around yelling about it because you want the whole world to know how much you've grown up.

But then you turn around and do something stupid and suddenly you're questioning whether you've actually learned anything at all.

(And when I say "you," I mean me. As if you had any doubt.)

..."and there's always retrospect
(when you're looking back)
to light a clearer path
every five years or so i look back on my life
and i have a good laugh
you start at the top
go full circle round
catch a breeze
take a spill
but ending up where i started again
makes me wanna stand still"...-indigo girls/watershed

but you have learned... it is that you are still human so you will still make mistakes.

Cut yourself some slack, dear. After all, you have to leave yourself something to shake your head over in another five years. That's all it is. *hugs*

Life is two steps forward, one step back, dear.
