Ladies is pimps too
Julia: I don't think you're doing dumb shit. I think you're doing brave shit.
Me: I think I might be doing both dumb and brave shit.
I have been immensely frustrated with life for the past two years. I've experienced a lot of professional growth, but from a personal standpoint, I've been very stagnant. Sure, I have a decent job, but that was all that seemed right. I felt tired and incompetent all the time. Within the four domains of my life-- friends, romance, teaching kids and Being An Educator, which is the paper/data side of the job-- all was chaos.
Starting in early July, things began to turn around, and now, in the first week of October- holy shit, I think I've got a handle on all four? (I just knocked on wood, because the Chinese side of me is shouting "Don't say that out loud!!") Not to say that I'll never feel exhausted or stupid again, but god, everything feels better. It's such a relief to feel like you hold the reins, or at least, that you are coming close to taking them.
It is such a relief to feel free!
Me: how did I turn into this girl?
Brendan: dunno, but it seems pretty awesome
Oh, and from the world of online quizzes: "Compassion is the most human of the virtues. And you? Your heart has limits far beyond normal levels empathy, and your capacity for feeling the world's pain is boundless. You poor, beautiful, wonderful thing."
Yeah. That sounds like me on a good day. :)
