I wonder about patterns.

Not artistic patterns, like ones that you repeat when you make a friendship bracelet.

I'm talking about life patterns - a sequence of events or a series of relationships - that are like a constant theme of your being. It's always repetitive. You find yourself in the same situations, same type of relationships, same environment/atmosphere, same group of friends, etc.

Sometimes, you don't realize it for a long time. Sometimes, you see it right after the second round. Or, in my case, you reach that "aha" moment 2 months before your 21st birthday while you're in class listening to a lecture on pop culture. It hits you, hard; suddenly, everything makes sense. You understand yourself in a way you didn't think you could. The past and present merge, and 20 years of being flash before your eyes.

But that's also the moment you realize you can change it. So I'm going to try.

Ciao!
