Amazing, I loved the idea of missing simplicity but not naivety. Interesting how much more you have now isn't it? Even if sometimes you feel like there's things that aren't where you want them to be or things that aren't complete yet. I hope your wife reads that comment! Thanks so much for sharing Jacob!

My life then was much simplier and my focus and inner strenght was perhaps much greater. What I remember most is the way I thought about things and the way I interacted with others. I also remember how simple and naive my perspectives were. I miss the simplicity but not the naivety. The strongest feeling looking back is one of emptiness and lonliness. Having been married only 4 years ago and having our 1st child not quite 2 years ago it already hurts to imagine my life without them. I love my wife too much to consider her absence from me. Not the physical absence but the idea of my soul and hers being 2 distinc beings instead of one spirit. Remembering the past will always be important but perhaps looking forward into the future should be equally weighed. 5 years ago I was living in Brasil.

What's your story? If you go back 5 or 10 years and look at where you were to where you are now, what do you see?
