I'm not entirely fatalistic, and if you did get up the energy to refute that particular statement (which I'd totally love to hear!) I'd more than likely agree with you. That statement wasn't meant to say that I've reached the high point of my potential at 28. What I really wanted to get across with the whole thing is that I'm the sum of my parts and if I do take myself into my own hands and make active decisions then I am constantly creating myself over again. I wouldn't have a tattoo set aside for a big leap situation if I didn't think myself possible of taking those leaps. It's the courage I currently lack. But the ability? The ability is endless.
