It's an odd feeling getting older

On drives back and forth from Burlington to home, I think about a lot of things... today was no different. As I approach my 22nd birthday it's really sort of weird to see the "adult" (if that's what you can call it) I've become. This Thanksgiving when asked stories of my life and how things were going, I gave up tales of friendships made in townships in South Africa and talked about how busy life is for me working on three gaming projects. It's hard to think that not too long ago I was in High School, and I wouldn't believe anyone if they told me that I'd be able to do what I've been able to do in the past four years. It's sort of funny this sort of paradox that I have with myself, I like to think I keep becoming wiser. Reflecting on the past I think, "If only I was that knowledgeable then." Many people probably feel this but fail to realize that they will think that about themselves in the present in maybe a month's time. So maybe it's good to realize that we're never as wise as we might think we are... Ugh sorry about that rant... Anyways I just can't help but think of this last phase of my life, the friend's I've made and memories created here... I can't see where I'll be a year from now, but I'll most definitely look back at this busiest part of my life (thus far) and as hard as it is right now, I'll look back and smile... and I'll miss it.
