Comment on “tell me, what else should i have done” by Kyle

For me it was turning 36. That was the age I associated with being adult, with my parents and the responsibilities they had and accomplishments they’d achieved at that point. That was the year I became a parent, finally. In the many years since, I’ve come to accept that I will never feel like I’m done growing up, or discovering myself or figuring out why I’m hear. For me it is a never ending process of searching, discovering, incorporating and beginning to search again. My mud hardly ever settles for long.

I hope you find your next big thing, and it fills you with excitement and energy and passion. Best of luck.

Sometimes we give so much weight to these questions that we feel stuck in the swirling emotions they bring – but it’s OK to just dream and see what happens…

And I’m sorry you lost your job. However easy it is to find another, and whatever it means otherwise, I’m sorry you lost it and I wish you all the best. Go easy on yerself…

Have you ever woken up at 3:00 AM and suddenly passing thoughts seem like they carry so much weight and tend to feel almost unmanageable? You seem to be perpetually in that 3:00 AM state of mind. Sometimes the best thing to do is add some fluff to your life so that your mind doesn’t constantly process these thoughts. Find your brand of fluff (even reading a silly book along with your book on physics) and use it when you feel you need to turn your brain off for a bit.

Also, you have a hard time dealing with winter (I remember that!). That is very relevant right now. Another also: Turning 35 is a big deal! I remember having a hard time with it (the first time in my life I experienced that feeling). Those are 2 huge factors which are certainly building pressure.

One thing (ok, 3 things) I can say is this: 1.That ticking clock will one day not be as loud. 2.That poem will return itself to your heart with only happy thoughts, and 3. You will be able to one day turn to a friend and say that, “that was a strange time but wow, look at where it’s brought me to.” These strange days often lead to something great – just believe that. xoxo

“What I also want to do is just get over myself. I’ve learned this to be a key component to living with myself without driving myself totally bat shit crazy.”

goodness, that rings true!

i don’t have much of use to say on the subject – but best of luck, and all the love.

(and a side note on your side note: when i studied physics, i was taken completely aback when i found that some of my classmates were studying physics because they loved getting *answers*…i loved physics because there *weren’t* answers. somehow we were studying the same stuff.)

there’s a lot i want to say in response to this… how i recently lost my job, too; how i’m scared and unsure and overwhelmed with what to do with my life; how i’m far more sensitive than most people about little things (like you); how i’m sure there’s something important i should be doing with my life… but i won’t go into that.
i’m a decade younger than you, so i don’t know that i have any wisdom to offer that you haven’t already heard. nevertheless, i’m thinking of you, and wishing you strength and courage.
you are kind and smart and funny and passionate and determined. if you keep your chin up and ignore the meaningless noise, you’ll do great! *hugs*

Aw, thanks, e. You’re a “blazerwest” to me. Always here, always kind. I keep up with you blog as well. I rarely comment, I know, but am always inspired and impressed by your brave-to-share ways.

There’s a reason I have never deleted you from my favorites even after timeless visits without updates. I couldn’t give up hope. Love reading your words! And on a more personal level, I admire your courage. I have an online journal that I have written in since 2004 to which only two people in the world have access.

I feel the same way, which is why I don't have a personal blog. But I really, really like reading yours. Including the posts with no punch line.
