Day Two Hundred and Sixteen:  I’m Just Second-Hand News

  I don’t think I am depressed, but I don’t think I am happy with myself either.  I have had a good summer, a great one, with amazing people and amazing kids and I love my job and I love the adventures that I have had, but something seems off.  Isn’t it funny that every once in a while like clockwork something just goes off?  I can’t put my finger on it just yet, but it will come to me I am sure of it, eventually.  For now I just have to use this utility belt I always talk about, to stitch up the mental space that I have, a quick fix, so that eventually it will all get better.

I have my meditation book beside my bed waiting for me, and I know that if I get back into my yoga morning routine it will benefit me positively, but it’’s getting there that’s getting to me.  Great intentions don’t always equal Great results, and at this point I have no energy for it.  Wouldn’t it be grand if we all just had a magic wand, a utility belt, a snap of the fingers and things were just…better?  Life isn’t the fairy tale that I had Great Expectations for when I was young.

So what do I do then?  How do I put myself back together for the greater good  How do I do this?  Well, first thing I’ve learned is that I have to do it on my own in my own time.  I ask for advice and support occaisionally but I am well aware that I do this on my own.  Next, with a great emphasis, I need to do it on my own time.  My OWN time.  I can’t have people judging me for how long it takes me to be okay with a relationship, or getting serious with someone.  In my favourite movie St. Elmo’s Fire Lesley doesn’t want to get married to her long time boyfriend Alec because she wants to make something for herself first.  They move in together, but they have just graduated from college and It’s not her time yet, and he gets impatient.  I can’t have that, from anyone in my life, or I just get too…bothered.  I want to work it out for me, for me and what I  want.

So this is an open apology to those who are affected by my decisions (whoever lets it bother them, the things that I need) that I am so sorry that I have hurt you because of the things that I need in my life.  I make these decisions in an informed manner but as my last few posts here have spoken out about I don’t always know if I am right.  I can’t take back those decisions, but they are my own.  I am ready to do this my way, I just need the support is all.

Thanks,
