When I was drinking, I was really resentful of people around me who were getting things done like graduate degrees, families, big creative projects or traveling or volunteering. I always thought about how I had thought about doing whatever it was for years and the I would get all p***** off at the people who were actually accomplishing those things (makes LOTS of sense, right? LOL). Now that I'm sober with all this free time and an attitude of gratitude, I find myself getting a ton of important stuff done. I actually have stuff to talk about when I hang out with my friends instead of listening to all the awesome things other people have done that I could've :)

Anyway I guess what I'm saying is that this is a really good time to dream big :) Sky's the limit!
