How could it be any better than this?
Jul. 14th, 2008 03:16 amI'm starting to strongly suspect the lucky streak I've been enjoying since my last year of college is finally coming to an end. The required job change thing... and not being able to make any Anime Detour meetings until after the new year... the still undetermined fate of my creative spark... unexpected drama in places I thought were solid... etc. (Oh, and the date of the other Detour staff picnic was announced this week and I have work that weekend, too. Figures.)
After crawling through 20 years of life, suddenly something clicked and everything started to go right for the first time. It's been going on so long I guess I started to think it would never end. I suppose, though, this is around the point of life when things started to go south for my parents, too. They weren't always the struggling, burdened people I remember.
But I do have a useable college degree, and no children to provide for, which puts me a few steps further onto firmer ground than they were. Most likely, I'll be okay.
The depression, though... wasn't expecting a relapse of that one. I suppose I should have been, it seems to be one of those things.
ETA: Whatever happens, though, I regret nothing. I will always be glad I spent these years traveling and doing cons and being fannish while I could. These are good times.
