Well, gabski, I don't know how old you are and there is not much in your about me.

Do you have any hobbies? It sounds like your a male and the female girlfriend might not be the right train to catch, no use running after run away trains. Perhaps you may catch a better train you can actually ride to a place in the future.

Hmmm, going back to school, maybe early 20's? Ah, what I didn't know when I was that age. I didn't know who I was going to end up being. And often that comes when you just keep at it and fan out a bit.

It seems like everyone thinks they are going to know who they are just by going to school. School or college teaches you how to learn, did you know that, because most people think that college is when you are suppose to know who you are and what your going to be.

But that's not when you find out who you are. First, you get an education and then within that education, if your smart you will find something that you are good at. Oh that can be math or english or business or something in the arts. And when you get out your just going to begin figuring out who you are. You may get a job, and make some money but you still have to find you. And that could mean earning enough to travel or indulge in some of the things you like to do.

But it takes time to figure out who you are and find your core and what is unique about you. Because, everyone has something unique and special about themselves.
And just because you don't find it in school doesn't mean not your going to find it.
There will be different points in your life where your going to stop and wonder what you want to so next and your going to take another look at yourself and rethink where you have been so far and where you might go next.

As far at that run away train, eh, you need to worry about YOU right now. Because if you catch the wrong train you may ride it for a while and decide you don't like where it is going and it is not where you want to go. Your much better off riding your own train for a while and working on your own choices in life. Thats when you could end up on a train going in the same direction you want to go.

The way I see it? You just got to get up and put one foot in front of the other and have an open mind. You had a time in the wild and I am sure you have taken some good from that experience. Thats what life is, taking something good from every time you venture out and get involved and learn.

Don't look for yourself in other people, you can learn from other people, but you going to be YOU and that YOU is going to be growing and learning for the rest of you life.

Tomarrow morning when you get up and you get dressed I want you think about something.
It wasn't long ago when you had to figure out how put that shirt on or maybe button buttons.
Or to pull up your pants all by yourself and sip and button them. And then the sneakers on you feet, oh, tieing them was so time consuming, trying to remember just how to tie them. But now you not only know how to do that but you have certain shirts you like to wear as well as pants and you tie those sneakers without even thinking about it. See how far you have come already?
You have likes and dislikes, you can dress yourself and go to a store and pick out clothes you like and you know your size even. Well, that what life is, one thing at a time and learning about you.

ONE STEP IN FRONT OF THE OTHER.
