The Last 24

By Daniel

Tomorrow I leave for Hong Kong.  It’s always been, “I leave for Hong Kong in 6 months” or “I leave this summer.”  Now “in 6 months” is here.  I have a hard time believing this is really happening.  Sometimes I look at myself and ask, “Who am I?”  I’m going to Hong Kong–What???  But I also disappoint myself, too. I’m not the person I want to be.  And I ask that question again, “Who am I?” I think we all have those moments, where we confuse our own ideas about ourselves.  Perhaps this unexpectedness is what makes life so interesting. 

Jon Foreman wrote a song on his 24th birthday and (though I’m not turning 24) I thought about it today.
