Submitted by Manuela in Bologna, Italy.

Here’s Manuela’s story:

“I was Catholic and now I’m Buddhist.
I’d eat meat and now I’m a vegetarian.
I had a boyfriend and now I have a girlfriend.
I was depressed and now I’m happily Zen.
I was skinny and now I’m chubby.
I was an advertiser and now I’m a web designer.

I was and now I am…
I had and now I have…
I did and now I do…

How many changes can a person make in just one year? I’ve made so many that I can barely recognize myself when I look back at the past.

Changes started at the beginning of 2007. The year is not finished yet. What else can happen to me by the end of the year?”

The moral, I think we can all see, is that dating women and not eating meat makes you a much happier person.
