Most of us are still changing and growing into who we will fully become.
We are not fully independent (read: limited) -- geographically and financially.
Ultimately, the two possible outcomes only become increasingly palpable, more final in their effect.
But through all that ... it's been three years I wouldn't trade for anything. In many ways, making it through the bumps and bruises results in a more refined and stronger finished product. I am thankful for the present, nostalgic for the past, and excited about the future.
