as always, i share because it seems to help make connections to people, for people. i'm glad to help be part of something that makes your situation seem less alone, too. that would be the heart of universal compassion.
I always like your Throne Speeches. But I do not know why you shied away from making it a Whine Fest. The Year 2009 took the small hope that the end of 2008 seemed to bring, threw it into the muck and then proceeded to gather up as much suck as possible and throw it everywhere on the planet. We hope for a 2010 with a different mindset but fear a 2010 that will view this layer of suck and think "Now there is a foundation I can build upon for a mighty Pyramid of Suck to make the Heavens tremble!!"

largely because that's what i perceive the tone of the last four months' postings to be, and i wanted to try connecting with something other than that. with the degree ending in a few months, i am aware of Choice, Potential, and Opportunity, and i would rather set a course in that direction than in the direction of building "a mighty Pyramid of Suck to make the Heavens tremble!!". it may come to pass that 2010 goes that way regardless of my best intentions to the contrary, but maybe i can slow the traverse just a little by seeing what other directions are at least open to me at this end of the year :)
"Perhaps most importantly, it's about not thinking of "happiness" as an end goal unto itself, something I can achieve by checking off milestones on a project plan, and more about learning what makes me happy along a path that, as I really should have learned by now, is going to go wherever the hell it wants to go, regardless of my presuming to know better about destinations and end points."
Oh yes. THIS. (sayeth the woman who struggles with her control-freak tendencies.)
And once again, I say Thank You. For putting yourself out there, and for being kind enough to share a lot of very personal stuff that I've learned a whole lot from.
I have always loved you, usually been proud of you, occasionally wanted to brain you, and live in a rock solid belief in you.
You'll flail - it's part of life. You'll snarl - shit happens.
I'll be waiting in the van. (You know the best part of that? I have the BFG for when the cameras turn off and you have to runlikefuck away from the animal you pissed off when you poked it. And I'm a hell of a shot.)
