• Today was the end of my beginning and I guess also the beginning of my end.

    The beginning was a long time ago. It was a good beginning like most beginnings are. Everything was cool and everyone was happy. A lot of good stuff happened in the beginning, but as with all things the beginning came to an end.

    So then I found myself in the middle. I wasn't really in the middle of anything just the midpoint between the beginning and the end. From the beginning of the middle, life was a little different. Happiness was harder to come by and you couldn't really be cool without trying. It was definitely a turning point that helped me break out of the middle.

    I didn't really get out of the middle, just a little past the middle of the middle. You see the middle also has a beginning and an end and I had just passed the midpoint of those two aforementioned points. A big decision was made and once it was done I could continue with the rest of the middle and race towards the end!

    And so the end was a long time coming, but I knew it was coming soon. It was just a matter of time really. But what is time when we are dealing only with concepts and not actual measured pieces of the continuum?

    Well today was the end for sure. I know because it just ended. I feel sad that it had to end this way, but I knew it had to happen sooner or later and I had a feeling that it was going to be sooner rather than later. Actually it was a better ending than I had hoped for, although not really great, but manageable.

    But of course I also find myself at a new beginning. It's a chance to start over and hopefully things will be a lot better this time around. It's pretty much the same as the other beginnings except this time I'm a bit smarter (well usually you want to be smarter at every new beginning).

    The end is a long way off and I hope I don't reach the new middle anytime soon. I'm happy to be where I am.
