For something a little bit different, I would like to share an excerpt from my journal. I was reading through a few pages from August and as the rain poured onto the roof above this sense of nostalgia rose in my chest and I thought it would be best to share this passage with you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been setting goals. I can go back in my documents and read through goals I set for each year going back as early as 2012 (when I got my first laptop).
