Nine's blog

The same old topics, the same old stories.
It's sometimes hard to stay engaged.

I know, it's more about connection than about information. These are our stories, our shared history. Do we need to remind ourselves? We all need to be connected, so I guess we do.

As important as history is however, without a future it's all just stories. As useful as it is to remember, what it's useful for, is to find out what comes next.

It's not numbers. It's neither aching knees not failing hearing. It's when you stop moving, when all you see is history and the past becomes your future, that you become old.

Despite first patches of gray appearing in my beard, I feel like I'm barely getting started. With the challenges of building my life navigated I'm free to go where my heart leads me.

So while I of course do love them,
now I need my time alone.
To reflect, to recover, to grow.
