How has life been different than what you have expected?
Well I barely remember what I expected when I was younger
and I am sure I did not have a set plan for every year of my life. I can only
say that of all the things that have happened in the last few years I only
expected a few of them. I expected a title for when I was older, definitely not
now or even any time soon. I thought I would have a couple years to do what I
want and then get to the point of responsibilities. So life has cheated me
these last few years with that. I never thought I would be married at this
point, I never thought of myself as the married type but here I am. Being in
danger with such uncommon frequency was never a plan for me in the past but I
am starting to expect it for the future. Not all the differences have to be bad
though, I never thought I would be able to keep such great friends for such a
long period of time. Then there’s all my recent friends who I hope will turn
out to last me as well. We have to look at all the positive moments so that’s
what I’m trying to do.
If there’s something to say about life in general that I
never expected was the insane growth of technology. A little over five years
ago I was being all trendy with a RAZR phone (points if you remember this phone
still) (more points if you have seen someone with one in the last year) (even
more points if you still have one) because it was supposedly the coolest and
most expensive cell phone and now everything is all touch screen and the battle
between the iPhone and Android is what everyone wants. Ten years ago the
coolest cell phones were the size of a brick and were pretty much useless, why
can’t we have that now? Although I am grateful for the invention of the iPhone.
