Ok, so this is an experiment in stream of consciousness. I find my mind works faster than my typing fingers, so I am testing out speech to text software on my phone so I can hopefully post random thoughts and ideas here without getting bogged down in language and punctuation. Here is attempt #1 talking about how my views have been subtly and not-so-subtly re-shaped over the past 30 years. Here it is unedited:
It's really interesting to look back over my life and think about how times have changed and how the goals that I had when I was a teenager and in my early twenties started veering off just slightly right to the right to the right to the right the more that you make these right turns the more you end up coming full circle not even aware of how you got there but coming full circle back to the place that you started I guess my advice here to anyone particularly my kids would be to follow your passions as I look back now as I turn almost 50 I'm not passionate about my work I can do it very well and I'm good at it and I've learned it well over the years see the passion in some people's jobs where there are eyes light up they become very animated what as they talk about picture of the work in the work that they're doing and I envy that I'm hoping that in my retirement I can capitalize on that better than I have over the last 20 years not that I regret anything I did what I had to do and I paid the bills and I was a decent father and husband and I think I was pretty gentle on myself and the people around me overall I'm really looking forward to getting back to who that person was when I was in my early late teens early twenties discovering with knowledge and wisdom and a self-confidence that I never had back in those days what's my capacity what can I do with this
