I waited as long as I could

I wanted to pretend that I would come back here in some secure, perfected state

Well,

[sun_shadowpoet]

In this case, my concern is mostly temporary. I'll be back to that other one, soon enough.

I particularly needed a break from having to hear about how I was going to be a "bad doctor" off of almost nothing but the other person undergoing yet another bad mood, say... for the duration of preparing for the big critical Board Exam. I could list concerns ad infinitum, really, but that was just something I wasn't going to come close to compromising on.

I had a horrible (by U.S. standards) Internet connection while on that island, so there was no way to realistically keep my preferred habits, which is what really did me in. I've just been busy on the "home stretch" aspect since I've gotten back to the mainland.

I should also note that some part of me (without realizing it in the Livejournal days that I guess are here again) does find the "community that comes about as a result of the way that I talk to the air" quite nice.
