I look at a lot of my recent notes and, aside from the travelogues, they seem awfully serious and earnest. I'm certainly capable of being serious and it's important to be earnest, at least sometimes. But I think I used to write more funny stuff.
In a way that's okay, but in another it's terrifying. Oh god, am I becoming that person who insists on constantly imparting life lessons to people? I hate that guy. When I was younger I always imagined that I'd grow up to be some combination of a sage and a cranky guy yelling at people to get off of his lawn. The person who drones on and on about stuff that everyone else should understand is important!!! was never what I was shooting for.
Fortunately, it's not too late. I'm not really the best judge of these things, but based on people's reactions to things I say I have not totally lost the ability to be funny, so I just need to bring it back into what I write.
