Shift in Priority?

Lately I was reading some blogs from the Xinmsn and I came across Jesseca Liu (http://jessecaliu.wordpress.com/) blog which interest me a lot. Not because I like her in any particular way but I am amazed by her. Being a public figure but her blog is so "normal" like any other blogger that you can chance across.

From her blog I also realized that as one aged.... there is a shift in Priority.... Some of her blog entries sound so familiar to me. Especially those that she wants to get away to find her true self.... At certain point of my life, I used to write like this... I have long forgotten about it..... reading her blog entry does bring back some memories.

Is it because life changes and experience make one has a shift in priority? Its like when we were younger, we used to post pictures of ourselves and our friends.... talk about dream and ambitious. Once we settled down with kids and family, the photo album is full of pictures of the little ones... conversation revolved around kids, education, etc.... This is where we start losing our inner self.... but for other priority in life ~ someone who is more important than yourself. I guess the sense of responsibility does play a big part in this role.
