I understand your joy about your new sun hat, Christine, it looks great! I can relate to feeling like you've taken the hard path through life. I have felt the same about my choices to move to different states, change jobs, live far away from family, and marry my toxic partner. Like I'm not content if things aren't difficult for some reason. But then I also wonder if we underestimate how challenging life is for everyone...
I can totally relate to studying for comps and needing to take copious amounts of notes for info to sink in. It never helped that I have a photographic memory because I would be able to see my notebooks in my head, take exams and then totally forget the content.
I look forward to what you will be sharing on Edit Your Life. As we enter our second half of life, striving for ease sounds pretty darn good!

Oh indeed. I believe every struggle is valid and every experience is relative. We're too complex for things to be more definitive!

That is fascinating -- I have always assumed having a photographic memory meant things were permanent!
