>All of our anxieties and fears are nothing more than trying to resolve the conflict between our expectations and present condition
Such a thoughtful post, geniusanon.
I remember when I was in high school, seeing adults pining for their high school days and always thought it was a bummer, and vowed not to do that.
I know when you ask most elders what age they feel like in their mind its usually somewhere around 28 or 30, despite an aging body.
When I read my journals, the thought structures have a continuity that seems irregardless to the year I wrote them. Our souls are indeed timeless and when we can fully embrace the now, we can live closer to our souls purpose.
