It has been almost 20 years since my first post on this blog. Frankly I'm surprised this site still exists, seeing so many other sites from that era have shut down by now.

I'm thankful for all that, though. Despite it retaining memories of my naivete and awkwardness, it gives me perspective on how much I've grown as a person through these years. Maybe it wasn't the fact that my English was deteriorating, but it was never that good in the first place. Maybe the answers were obvious, but I did not possess the wisdom to identify them. And I definitely know I'm much less profound than whatever I was spouting, but it was fun. Even now, I'm stumbling through life, catching up on knowledge and skills I've neglected to address. But I have to be thankful that I've always found peace despite my perceived failures so far, and everything turned out fine.

I've reached a stage of my life where I had never thought I would, or could. There's still a lot I have difficulty navigating, but I feel less uncomfortable dealing with my inadequacies. I might be behind on time, but it's never really too late. It's time to go, and I'm not doing it alone.

Let us proceed...and retrieve.
