When you hit your thirties, you'll have a substantial backdrop for assessing your childhood and how that shaped the decisions you are making now. The important thing is to keep growing, and stay open to analyzing what decisions and traits have worked for you and what needs adjusting.<br /><br />And congratulations on your new Agenthood! May your new career take you all the way through your thirties and beyond! :)<br /><br />J.B.

I always thought of adolescence as the crucible of self, but when I look back I can see that I changed far less between 14 and 19 then I did between 20 and 24 (which is where I am now). <br /><br />The experiences of my early twenties have had a big role in shaping the person I am now. I can only imagine that I'll have (hopefully) more insight and a more developed perspective at 30 or 35.

Seems like it's all about sorting my own stuff when I'm writing, but who knows what it will trigger in someone else. I suppose all that is truly out of my hands, now. Sobering thought.J.B.

Somehow Todd and I have managed to put off the growing up part, even while raising kids--'supervising' parents has kind of forced us into more 'adult' responsibilities.
