The Third Reflection
A list of things I get to experience in the present that make the lack of childlike innocence worth it:
Seeing a picture of a redhead friend of mine and her hair looks very red
Directing a newscast with the person I’m eventually going to replace sitting next to me
Having a computer with 4 monitors
Buying a new car
Editing videos
Flying a drone and having a Part 107 license
Being surrounded by more screens than I can count
Being able to make decisions to benefit my mental health on my own
An ice cold beer
Rubber ducks around my workplace
Having a full time job and working with people who look out for me
Getting to choose who my friends are
Getting to drive halfway across the state to hang out with my friends
Hugging my friends tight
Getting to set the AC where I want it
Mac n cheese for breakfast
Getting to use my vacation time to go to concerts in different states
Going to 7 concerts in a year
Configuring live boxes that people will see on tv
Getting to eat ice cream whenever I want
Getting to watch my sister get married
Getting to meet my niece
Being open to different kinds of art
Having the ability to go travel and take pictures
Having good camera gear
