There have been many, many variables in my life. And throughout all of that chaos, the one constant that remains is HN. I appreciate each and everyone single one of you who make this site what it is. Merry Christmas and cheers!

Marry Christmas. At this point I’ve lived longer with HN than without HN. Let’s see… HN launched in 2006, I was 18, I’ll be 36 next year, so this is actually an off by one error. Oh well, if you squint a little or drink too much eggnog then it’s true. Remember to focus on yourself this year, and especially to give yourself permission to be selfish. It’s ok not to live your life for others.

I hadn't put that idea together until your comment. I'm about the same age and only have a few more years before this "milestone" myself. Thanks for making me feel older hah.

Welcome to the club.

Here’s something depressing, or uplifting. When you ask older people which age they’d most prefer to re-live, the most common answer is 36. So remember to live this year to the fullest, even though it doesn’t feel like you’re in your prime. You actually are.
