15. oh to be 31 again

i went to art school at 27, thinking that was my last chance to get my shit together.
that was so many twists and turns ago, i can't even count. all amazing. all full of adventure that took my down a lot of rabbit holes.
at 58 my "hobbies" also, very unexpectedly, led me to a good place to retire.
not that i can say i ever got my shit together. i was always off after the next thing that consumed me. but i am still here. raised pretty good kids.
helps to marry well. ;-P

sometimes you do just have to spend some time listening to your own drummer. you really have to put yourself first. you have to find you. that might need to be your career, and it might not end well. but i can tell you that is the path to the careers that soar.
