Oh livejournal, you dying creature.

It used to be that I updated this thing regularly and was addicted. No more.

My life is a shadow of what it once was, and yet I was no happier then than I am now.

I may even be happier now, actually.

Sure, my financial responsibilities are much greater, and I have fewer friends, and the friends I do have are FAR away, but I'm okay.

I had a dream

"I want back the way I used to feel about myself and my life.
But I don't want that life back."

I'm really feeling what you wrote here. I understand whole-heartedly as I am going through something similar myself.

Time will tell, I guess?

the only thing that will make these feelings go away is if you change something. if you continue day to day in the pattern you are, you'll be 30 and feeling the same way, except with maybe a kid to watch after as well. change something now. move back to detroit? get a different job? go back to school? it's gotta be something that will affect you greatly. dolls and cats and little things will not. they will only make you comfortable enough not to change. then you'll resent that pseudo-comfort. change.
