Me at 19

While browsing the archives of a friend's blog, I came upon an October 2003 entry in which she quoted me saying this:

"The very few people I've ever really wanted to be like are the ones that look at the same world I look at but see something different. I don't all of a sudden see what they see, but I see the result of what they're seeing - the result is them, their hearts - it's really a beautiful thing."

Oh how cynical I've gotten in old age.

(note to the editing-crazed - I did correct my sloppy punctuation and put the whole bit in present tense, because in past, it sounds like I'm being quoted after the grave)
