I Feel Entropy

I'm Twenty today.
One of the benefits of having an interesting life and an excellent memory is that, at Twenty, I feel old. And young, at the same time. I can look back on my life, particularly the last ten years, with a great sense of accomplishment - and a great deal of experience, hard learned lessons and hard won wisdom. And with that in mind, I can look forward with a great sense of curiosity. It can only get more interesting.
At Twenty, I have never had a real job. I've worked for my family business (a cattle ranch), and been paid for various work on neighbors ranches, or similar services, but I have never had a formal "job". That said, I have successfully run my own business for the last five years.
I am a published writer and poet.

I grew up fast, as a kid. I've always been mature.
Some days I feel like I missed out on having childlike sense of wonder... others, I can spend twenty minutes watching a red-tailed hawk floating on a thermal without once moving his wings, and wish as hard as I can that I could feel what that was like.
Every day I am thankful for my experiences, even (maybe especially) the hardships. What does not kill you, makes you stronger. I am not dead yet... not for a long long time.
I have much journey left to complete... and I am looking forward to it with an intense desire and passion.
