you are obviously someone who knows me, but...

I'm actually here, in SF, because I'm finally dealing with me... and I've broken bonds with quite a few people to do that, hurting them in the process, which of course makes me sad. However, I'm just saying that I'm making dramatic steps in that direction. In fact, I walk by homeless people here every day and do nothing (aside from occasionally bringing people food), which tears at my soul... but I've realized the conflict inherent between those actions/inactions, and realized that it's an endless cycle of humanity.

As to what I want... I've typed full responses to this 3 times, and have realized every time that the answer is RIDICULOUSLY complex and long. I will probably write a little dissertation on it here at some point, since I've pretty much filled a word document with the sections I cut and pasted out of here. However, I'll sum it up in a few words. I want an existence of my own creation, and I want to be a part of the world, not of my neighborhood/country. If that doesn't make sense, then you'll have to read the dissertation later ;)

thanks for the comment.
