The inability to come up with a real vision for my future was a gigantic problem for me at those ages, a problem that helped ruin things for the rest of my life. To be brutally honest, I'm still having trouble envisioning my future past 3 or 4 months ahead. So I'm trying to treat life as a "one day at a time" deal.

I never thought I'd make it to this age! I'm a 13 years past my "expiration date" and that's fantastic and scary at the same time.
