Good god, sometimes I used to lament not having had enough fun in college and grad school. Now I'm glad that the experience was simply pretty good. I used to envy people who talked about college as the best years of their lives and would give anything to go back. but now I realize how paralyzing that would be. Jesus Christ, Sebby, I've had more fun in the past year or so than I did in four years of college, and I'm looking forward to a lot more. Yes, I'd love to recapture that feeling of endless possibility that I had back then, but you can't hold on to that past, say, 25, anyway.

You have to stop living in the past, or comparing everything to the past. Your prism is fucked up, Sebby -- to hear you tell it, nothing will ever measure up to some previous experience. Your life is now and for the next 50 (well, maybe 40) years.

Uh, didn't Nate Fisher give this same speech to Tom Wheeler on Monday night?
