Can I just say how fucking AMAZING it is to be in your 20s, with a disposable income, and NO KIDS (or pets)?!

I never thought i would have become such a private person. I mean, it's pretty obvious I don't publicly update this journal with any real information about myself, including where I live, who I date, and what I do for a living. But after much consideration, I've concluded that it's not so bad. In fact, I prefer it. There is no reason to tell complete strangers intimate details of your life. I feel people who do are insecure, and constantly seek validation from others. I would be lying if I said I wasn't once like that myself.
I used to chalk it up to being young. After all, young people seek validation from others all the time, whether it be a parent, a mentor, or complete strangers on the internet. I used to feel I had something to prove, as well as something to gain. But in the end, I was lost.
I had given up every detail and nuance of my life to people who never knew me - the real me. They knew the persona I had created for myself (which let's face it, was for attention), but that wasn't me. That was what I wanted people to think I was, because I suppose I felt lesser-than my peers.
But with age comes wisdom, and I've learned that I'm good enough just as I am - imperfections and all. I may not be the smartest, or the most talented, or the best looking, but I'm me, and nobody can ever replicate that.
I don't know what the future has in store for me, and I'm not anxious to share it with people I don't know - because it's mine to enjoy. Once you've found peace with yourself, silly things like internet traffic, and Facebook "friends" just aren't important anymore.
I'm writing this because I've received a lot of messages from still-active users asking me how I've been, and what I've been doing. To them I say I'm doing a lot, and I'm great. I hope you all are too.
