Clueless

[worldinfernite]

I am almost 20 and I feel really disconnected and out of control. Yes I have a job ,and a roof over my head, but I really want to be back in college and more importantly connected to a strong community of activists, artists and queers. I've gotten quite a few rejection letters already I am waiting on two more and then that's it, all of my options

we should chat and see if maybe I can help you work some stuff out.. I know I'm a little bit of a trek away, but we *do* need to hang more. and sometimes we need a little bit of outside perspective..

if not, that's totally cool, but I'm about to turn 25 and I'm having the same problem.. maybe you can help me and I can help you.

<3

either way, I'm here.

It has been too long since we hung out! I think talking and hashing out our respective situations sounds like a good idea. Mad love to you boo.

what kind of activism are you looking for? because my friend rich has some small group he set up around new paltz that tries to delve into activism. if you want, i could put you in touch with him

We've met IRL a few times, you added me from one of our mutual friend's lists or a comment or something and I've read about your life ever since. If that weirds you out you can feel free to unfriend me. That said I relate to you alot.

The activism I have been involved in previously has revolved around Disability, Reproductive Justice, Fat Acceptance/HAES, Racism, Sexual Education, LGBTQ rights, and addressing the intersectionality of these issues/identities and privilege.

I am waiting to hear from New Paltz and Smith College but I imagine the only place I have a shot is with New Paltz. The credits from my previous college must look like Bullshit to all these schools because I wasn't graded, I got narratives and a Pass/Fail and then my school closed. I figure if I at least attend Dutchess I can take advantage of programs and get sent to/organize conferences, Lectures, and workshops.

Thanks for taking the time to respond in length, I really appreciate it.

I know I just need to figure out my path. I want the security that having a solid idea of what I am going to do, be it work, attending school, going to trade school or whatever offers. Feeling like I barely have a friend in the world only increases my anxiety. I have friends but I am not best friends or even just really close with anyone, and that is something I am missing.

Thanks boo, love you too.

Listen Lady!

I would love to see you more often, I know that we fell outta touch and really it's my fault but yeah, we should fix that. so call me maybe?

I'm working all week/end because my store is having a huge 30th anniversary sale (everything in the store will be 20% off for 1 day only and we have a lot of vendors coming apparently) so I won't be able to hang out with anyone but I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you, so maybe next week or the week after? I miss hanging out with you a lot lady!
