Hey, How are you?
"I'm good. I've been navigating what some might call a new season in life."
"A new season? What does that entail?"
"It's a shift in priorities, really. New connections have blossomed while old ones have faded. Some people I barely knew have become surprisingly close, and I've genuinely enjoyed their company. Conversely, some who were once central have just... drifted away. Not you, of course – we've been inseparable for as long as I can remember!"
"Oh, really? And what about those hobbies and games you used to be so into?"
"Hmm, those 'cash-extortionist' hobbies are long gone, thankfully! Travel still has my heart, though. My interests are much more future-focused now – investments, growth. And yes, I still jog and exercise, if that counts?"
"It absolutely counts! Especially now, at your age. Before, it might've been vanity, but now it's a necessity – just being honest! Speaking of which, what brings you back here, back to blogging?"
"Back here? What do you mean?"
"This blog. Your last post was in 2018, and your drafts are just sitting there, unposted."
"Ah, right. As I said, it's a new season. I want to dedicate more time to writing now. I actually revisited some old posts and was surprised by how decent a writer I was back then, haha. But this time, I want to do more."
"Well, you'd better! And this time, you should share some of the wisdom you've gathered over the past seven years."
"I will. And a really important part of this new season is getting closer to Him. I find myself talking to Him much more often now."
"Good. Life isn't getting any younger. The older you get, the more you need Him, especially as you draw closer to fulfilling your life's mission."
"Okay, nice talking to you."
"You too. And even though I'm just your mirror reflection, could you at least try to sound a little more excited talking to me, haha? I'm your younger, present self, so look at me with appreciation. In another minute, you won't be as young as me anymore. Just a thought!"
"Yeah, thanks, Self, for the reminder. Haha."
