98...25...525,600...1...99...

so this is post #98... it says that i just have 75, but it's said that for a while now... and so i counted them individually... and it's 98...

so this year is kind of a big one for me... not huge... but kind of big... in a mere 4 weeks (to the day exactly), i will turn 25... a quarter of a century... i'd be lying if i said that it doesn't make me want to stop and reflect on a whole lot of stuff - and re-evaluate and be aware... i can honestly say that my life hasn't turned out like i was anticipating... that's not a bad thing... but in some ways it's not good either... different... but now... what are my weak areas? what are the areas where i need to choose to improve? what are the strengths that i need to be aware of? what are the things that bring me the most joy? sadness? hope? despair? how should that change the way i live each day? needless to say, i have a lot of questions - a lot of evaluating to do... why not today - of all days...

so, technically, starting at midnight today, i had/have 525,600 minutes in the year... for any rent fans (and some non-rent fans), you can hear the tune... 525,600 minutes... 525,000 moments so dear... 525,600 minutes... how do you measure, measure a year? technically, i've already "spent" 1380 or so... how can i make each minute count this year? what are the things that i should treasure, embrace, cherish? i have wasted a lot of minutes in the past on things that didn't matter... why not choose, this year, to spend my minutes on things that do matter?

i don't know... all just random thoughts tonight... 1 cup of passion tea later... and i don't have much clarity... i guess i need to make a list... i don't know that i'll get that done tonight... i tried it last year on my birthday - 5 things to do before i'm 25... i'm not going to get it all done... so maybe i'll work on it - and this year it can be 5 things - maybe 25 things to do while i'm 25...

maybe it will be my next entry... #99... if i can think of 25 quickly before i decide to go home and go to bed!
