Staying grounded

In a moment of retrospection, I realized that I have changed a lot over the years, for better and for worst.  I am grateful for the good, and little saddened by the bad.  In the midst of all that, I am grateful for friends and loved ones who know me from long before; who reminds me of my essence, my roots, and what endeared me to them.  I am still growing, still morphing, still figuring myself out.  I am excited for the adventures ahead, the new friendships, the experiences.  Yet, like any kite who wishes to fly high, I am glad for people who keeps me grounded.  I hope that I will maintain on being the decent person that I am.
