I was IMing an old friend who I hadn’t talked to in awhile, and I was telling my Amsterdam story when I was inspired to lookup the email I sent a few folks right before I came back from Europe in 2000, where (the much smarter) 21-year old version of me wrote:

perspective…i think about coming back, and i don’t
think about picking up my life where it left off,
because that’s impossible, it’s all changed too much,
i’ve changed too much. so in a very real sense, my
perspective on returning is alot like my perspective
on coming here- it’s going to be a lot of fun
inventing myself into a new world which bears some
resemblance to one that i knew once.

story of my life, it seems.
