Grammar/English Pet Peeves

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I attribute half my writing problems to being old and half blind and not being able to proofread my own writing worth a damn.

I wouldn't trade all the crap that I've gained from getting to be old if it actually meant that to be young again I'd need to be the same self confident, omnipotent dumb ass that stumbled and fell all over my perceived omniscience at every turn.

Yeah. I get hours of amusement laughing at all the crap I did as I traversed through life. I never thought of myself as pretty or perfect.

After all of these years, I now realize that I was pretty ignorant and perfectly foolish. I don't regret any of it. They were a time of learning and I learned much, and I learned well.

Now instead of being startled by that strange old lady looking back at me from the mirror, I smile at her. I nod at her with a smile, and she smiles back.
