"Expires June 2016"

untitledSome days I worry my sister's worry that I'll soon be too old to start anything new in my life, especially a new relationship. The rest of the time I simply enjoy the silence. This idea of some invisible bar code stamped across my forehead "Expires June 2016" baffles me.

Sometimes to invite growth into one's life a space has to be opened, and over the past 18 months Ganesh has definitely shaken things up. My relationship, most of my friends, my house, and most recently my job at the awesome start-up.

An opportunity to redefine myself without color commentary from bystanders it definitely is, and I've recently taken the opportunity to add shades of begonia to my wardrobe. At the same time I keep having to remind myself not to fall back into old patterns just because they're comfortable. I'm no longer the heavy. No longer the mean IT person. No longer an accessory. And it feels, well, weird.
