Metanoia: Repentance: Turning Around

When I was a child I was optimistic, idealistic and hopeful.

As I grew older, I gradually became more cynical, materialistic and bitter.

Over the last few months, I returned to the optimism, idealism and hopeful aspirations of my younger days.

My cynicism, materialism and bitterness have crumbled away. I still have a few crumbs I need to brush off.

Perhaps I still need a touch of skepticism and reservation in order to remain realistic.
