And I mean this in a good way (okay, sometimes it can haunt you in a bad way too).
A friend saw a letter she wrote 10 years ago to one of her best friends (her best friend showed it to her, in a fit of nostalgia). She said in the letter that although she was sidetracked with having a baby, she thought she would probably pursue law school (she was in her 3rd year at that time) because some dreams are meant to be pursued.
Such tenacity.
Such a positive world view.
Such a positive view of the self.
Take no prisoners.
(she became a lawyer 4 years after)
She wonders if she still has the same fight in her now. The same urgency. The same determination.
