Things I'd like to recover:

1. The ability to trust, lost somewhere between 1986 and the present in small increments. My trust was embezzled, if you will....

2. Bravery, lost somewhere between August and the present.

3. Disregard for "el qué dirán", lost between 1991 and the present.

4. Ability to take emotional risks, lost in 2003.

5. My life before the quarter-life, lost in 2007.
