To the blogging faithful...
Man I can't believe the comments on my last post. I figured that my audience had given up on me, I know I had. Good to know there are still a few out there reading.
I'm not sure how many of you know but I'm a very sentimental guy. Often I look to the past and remember how great things were, sometimes to the detriment of the present. Well I'm not about to say I'm through reminiscing, but I'm definitely through living in the past. Now I begin living in the now. These are the best times of my life and I'm not going to miss out on them by wondering about decisions I've made or roads not taken.
Even if I tried to return to a previous phase of my life I'm sure I would soon find out that it isn't possible. As Thomas Wolfe said "You can't go home again". Nothing would be as it were when you were last there. If I went back to college, or a previous job, it wouldn't be the same, even those things have changed. I'm bad to cling on to what I know in fear of the unknown when the truth is, it's the unknown that should give us hope. It's the unknown that should be exciting, not scary. :-)
To the people who share my past, I love you all. Let's go out and make a beautiful future for ourselves. God bless you and thanks for your friendship.

Beautifully spoken, Matt. I think we all get into those "reminiscing" states and often wonder the "what ifs" that could have potentially changed the course of our lives as we know it now.....here's to the now and most importantly the future....take care!
