My good friend Alex. Met him in Italy as I was studying for a few monthsm. A man of modern renaissance. Captivating and thirsty for knowledge. I'm attracted to those who impress me. Move me. And I met him at.a very impressionable time in my life. Looking for direction. He and a girl I fell for helped show me that I must ultimately find my own path. But he showed me a new way approach this world and my potential to affect it and those around me.

You be a fool to believe any man or woman deserves the moral pedastool we place them on. We learn fromour surroundings. If you truly want to change the world be kind top those around you. That will be the biggest impact you leave behind.

hey only -

    He and a girl I fell for helped show me that I must ultimately find my own path.
that's a hard lesson to learn - it's often hard to see the path behind or the path in front (especially covered with all this damn snow) -- but good on Alex for helping in some way.

Lil, you're right. We only connect the dots as we look back. Very important to remember that as we try to predict the future using only patterns from the past. Hindsight and all that. Like, in hindsight, perhaps you should have moved away from the snow. Haha. I tease, but seriously I moved out californi-way and won't look back!
