nothing good happens after 2 AM
"Have you ever had one of those days where nothing at all that monumental happens, but, by the end of it, you have no idea who you are anymore, what you're doing with your life? Do you ever have one of those days?"
"Uh, about once a week."
(How I Met Your Mother, "Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M.")
I'm getting this feeling a lot lately, and it's hard to explain why.
I don't want my first post in months to be all kinds of whining about what I'm getting out of life (or, more to the point, what I'm not). I've been accepted to grad school and am on the road to teaching high school math, something I'd be incredibly passionate about doing. My grandmother just this morning had successful microsurgery to repair two herniated discs in her back and is recovering in the hospital until Saturday. Things could be going a lot worse, and I'm extremely thankful for what I do have.
So with that in mind, I'm going to stop before I go into detail, at least for now. (Also, note the timestamp; it's pretty late, and the episode title is mostly right. It's rare that good things happen after 2 AM, and that includes ranting in LJ form.) Things aren't bad, but they're just not as good as I want them to be. I feel stagnant more than anything else, and it's a frustrating feeling that I just can't shake.
