Huh
I realize now that this was actually kind of a good blog. Sort of. Anyway, no need to ditch it and start all over again this time, yeah? I'm getting too old for that anyway. I'm kind of past the belief that a fresh start, a blank page, is the only thing I need to figure it all out for real this time. My past is no longer something I'm prepared to toss out every time I start a new phase.
I've been in residency for 3 months, but in some ways it's just starting tomorrow. The last time I tried to do this combination of rotations was approximately 2 months after my last post here, and it sort of broke me. I'm trying to put a bright face on the fact that I'm doing it again and it will all be fine this time, but really, I need to stay aware if that's going to happen. Awake.
So! Poetry, writing, reading, and good things like eating and exercising. *nods*.
From Open, the autobiography of Andre Agassi:
"Dreams, I tell [my trainer], in one of our quiet moments, are so damned tiring.
He laughs.
I can't promise you that you won't be tired, he says. But please know this. There's a lot of good waiting for you on the other side of tired. Get yourself tired, Andre. That's where you're going to know yourself. On the other side of tired."
