I miss studying philosophy. Was law school a mistake? I don’t know. I enjoy the challenge of the substantive material; I do not enjoy the paper pushing, busywork, ‘professional development skills’, the bureaucracy, the arbitrariness, the obsession with landing the highest paying internship.
I’ve made plenty of new friends in Austin.
I miss my old friends.
But even when I was with them, way back when, I missed my older friends?
Am I doomed to constantly chase the past?
These might well be my last days.
As for lost years?
I’ve got too many to count.
